Check the adequacy of the cleated beam-to-column connection displayed in Figure 8 to resist a design (factored) shear force, Ved, = 250kN. Make all necessary checks according to Eurocode 3. Make appropriate assumptions for any missing data. If any part of the connection fails, find an alternative that does pass, and progress to the following check. The beam is a UB 356 x 171 x 67 (D = 363, B = 173, tw = 9.1, t+= 15.7). The column is a UC 203 x 203 x 60 (D = 210, B= 206, tw = 9.4, t= 14.2). There are 2 cleats, each is a 90x90x8 EA plate (thickness = 8mm). 8 bolts are connecting the cleats to the column flange, and 4 bolts are connecting the cleats to the beam web. Use S275 steel throughout and Grade 8.8 M18 bearing bolts (A= 254 mm, A= 192 mm). Note: assume that the column flange has adequate strength. 45 45 * 2L 90x90x8 + 45 45 + + + 8mm Gap Figure 8.
