Using 7/8 in diameter ASTM A325-N bolts in standard holes and E70 electrodes. Design a bolted flange-plated FR moment connection between a W12×50 beam and a W14×90 column flange (RD = 15 kips; MD = 60 kip-ft) and (RL = 30 kips; ML = 120 kip-ft). For shear plate use three bolts:
(I) Check the beam available flexural strength
(ii) Design single-plate web connection
(iii) Check the connecting elements rupture strength at welds
Sketch the connection.
