Moment Connection Design Calculations

This document summarizes the design of a bolted splice connection between two steel members. Key details include a bolt diameter of 20mm with 24 total bolts in 2 rows. Calculations show the tension in one bolt is 149.62kN, exceeding the allowable of 141.15kN, so the bolt size needs revision. The plate thickness of 30mm was determined to be adequate to resist the bending moment of 2.366kN-m. The combined shear and tension stresses in one bolt were found to exceed the limit stated in IS:800-2007, so the bolt size is required to be revised.
