Plate Connection Design

This document summarizes the design of an end plate connection. It calculates the nominal reactions on the connection as well as the bolt and weld loads. It then checks that the bolt capacities are sufficient using a M16 grade 8.8 bolt. It also checks that the provided 12mm thick end plate is thick enough to resist bending. Finally, it calculates the loads on the welds and checks that the weld lengths are sufficient.
