Check 1: Recommended detailing practice
Min rec plate height; 0.6 h b = 150.8 mm
Actual plate height; h p = 160 mm
Max rec depth to plate; 50 mm
Actual depth to plate; d p = 16.2 mm
Min rec gap distance; 10 mm = 10 mm
Actual gap distance; g h = 10 mm
Max rec thickness for rotation; 0.50 d b = 8 mm
Actual thickness; Min(t p, t w,b ) = 6 mm
Min rec edge distance; 2 d b = 32 mm
Actual edge distance; Min(e 1 , e 2 ) = 35 mm
Min rec bolt line distance; 2.5 d b = 40 mm
Actual bolt line distance; p 2 = 60 mm
Top Notch
Depth of notch; d nt = 16.2 mm
Length of notch; ln = 75 mm
Minimum vertical clearance; Max(tf,b + r b, tf + r) = 16.2 mm
Actual vertical clearance; d nt = 16.2 mm
Bottom Notch
Depth of notch; d nb = 20 mm
Length of notch; ln = 75 mm
Minimum vertical clearance; Max(tf,b + r b, tf + r) = 16.2 mm
Actual vertical clearance; d nb = 20 mm
Minimum horizontal clearance; 10 mm
Actual horizontal clearance; ln - (b - tw) / 2 + t p = 11.9 mm
PASS - Recommended detailing practices are met

Bolt shear
Assumed line of shear transfer; z v = g h + e 2,b + p 2 /2 + t w/2 = 83 mm
Coefficients; lb,v = n 1,1 / 2 p 2 2 + 1/6 n 1,1 (n 1,12 - 1) p 1 2 = 10000 mm 2
b,v = z v p 2 / (2 l b,v ) = 0.25
