Structural Beam Connection Guide

This document provides calculations to check the design of a steel beam connection. It specifies beam sizes, end plate dimensions, weld sizes, bolt sizes and layout. Calculations are shown for tension bolt resistance, moment capacity, shear capacity, and weld utilization. The connection passes all checks for moment, shear, and weld strength based on British standard BS 5950-1:2000.
