Column Web Doubler Plate Requirement:


Column Web Panel Shear: (Note: any column story shear is neglected - conservative.)
F = 99.74 kips F = M*12/(0.95*d)+P/2 (includes 1/2 of beam axial force)
twc(req'd) = 0.495 in. twc(req'd) = F/(0.4*Fyc*dc) twc < twc(req'd)
Web doubler plate is req'd.
Column Web Doubler Plate:
td(min) = 0.250 in. td(min) = (twc(req'd)-twc)*Fyc/Fyd but not < 1/4" min.

Lw = 16.00 in. Lw = d (plate height = beam depth)
fw = 2.87 kips/in. fw = Vd/Lw

(min) = 0.1875 in. (min) = Min. fillet weld size from AISC Table J2.4, page 5-67
(max) = 0.3637 in. (max) = 0.40*Fyd*td/((SQRT(2)/2)*0.30*70)
Weld size <= weld max., O.K.
Web Doubler Plate Plug Welding Requirements:
h/twc = 28.59 h/twc = (dc-2*tfc)/twc
h/twc(max) = 63.33 h/twc(max) = 380/SQRT(Fyc) h/twc <= h/twc(max), O.K.
h/td = 33.55 h/td = (dc-2*tfc)/td
h/td(max) = 63.33 h/td(max) = 380/SQRT(Fyd) h/td <= h/td(max), O.K.
Conclusion: Plug welds are not required

172 10 kips Pwy = Fyc*twc*(tf+6*k+2*tp+2*(D/16)) Pbf <= Pwy,
Pwy O.K.
OK

Pbf = 163.22 kips Pbf = (5/3)*Ff
Pwb = 184.14 kips Pwb = 4100*twc^3*SQRT(Fyc)/(dc-2*k) Pbf <= Pwb, O.K.

Ca = 1.13 Ca = 1.13 (for Fyc =36 ksi)
Cb = 1.00 Cb = 1.0 (assumed)
Afc/Awc = 1.00 Afc/Awc = 1.0 (assumed)
m = 1.195 m = Ca*Cb*(Afc/Awc)^(1/3)*(Pec/db)^(1/4)
Me = 31.995 in.-kips Me = m*Ff*Pec/4
tfc(req'd) = 0.935 in. tfc(req'd) = SQRT((6*Me)/(bp*(0.75*Fyc)))
Pfb = 94.17 kips Pfb = ((tfc^2*(0.75*Fyc)*bp)/6)/(m*Pec/4) *(5/3)
