Determination of plate dimensions B and C;

d = depth of section (outer pipe diameter) = 168.28 = 6.625 in

di =inner pipe diameter = 168.28 -(12.5*2)mm =143.275 mm 5.64 in
critical section used to determine the plate thickness = 0.8d =134.6 mm

For checking thickness of plate, use the greater of m and n.

C= 14.80 in
B= 13.39 in
Actual Bearing Pressure, Fp = P/CB =12.16/14.8*13.39 0.06136 ksi
Determine m and n from figure above;
n= 2.23 in
m = 13.39 - (0.8 * 6.625)/2= 4.045 in
since m > n;
Plate Thickness, tp = m√ Fp/0.25Fy = 4.75√0.061/0.25*36 0.39 in
Plate thickness of 0.39 in = 9.91 mm is required
Provide 25 mm thick plate = 0.984 in 0.984 in
Plate 340 mm x 377 mm x 25 mm thick is adequate

BOLTS
Check for Shear Capacity
Assume 4 No of A490X bolts, 25 mm dia = 1 in
Total Shear Force at Node W = 114.59 kips

AISC 9th Ed Table 1- Shear per bolt = 114.59/4 = 28.65 kips

D Allowable Shear per bolt = 31.40 kips
28.65 kips < 31.40 kips Bolt Shear Stress OK Shear OK

Check Bearing Capacity

AISC 9th Ed Edge distance, lv = 1 1/4 in use (45 mm)

(Table 1-F, 1-E) At fu = 65 ksi, coefficient is 78.0 kips/inch of thickness for 4 bolts.
Allowable load = (78.0 x 4 bolts) x 0.984 = 307.00 kips (1365.6 kN) 1365.60 kN
307.00 kips (1365.60 kN) > 449.801 kN OK

Check for Bolt Tensile Capacity

where φt is the tensile resistance factor, equal to 0.75
Fu = is the specified minimum tensile strength = 65 ksi
Ag is the gross area = 3.142*12/4 = 0.79 in2
