Apex Connection - Ver W2.6.01 - 16 Jan 2013

Title : Default Connection

Code of Practice : Eurocode 3 - 2005
Created : 10/08/2016 11:14:12

Notes and Assumptions

1 All bolt holes are assumed to be normal clearance holes.
2 All bolts are assumed to have threads in their shear planes.
3 It is assumed that the connection is deep enough for the flanges
to resist the compressive and tensile forces in them.

Check 5 : Bolt tension and End Plate Bending

The worst load is encountered for Load Case : 1.35+1.5
