HSS columns to W-Beam moment connection
HSS columns to W-Beam moment connection
(OP)
Hello, I've recently entered a company that uses this kind of connections. I've been asked to check the design, and I would like to know any comments please. I attached a drawing where you can easily understand how is the connection.
As I undestand it, this connection is quite simple to fabricate at shop. The moment and shear are taken at the end plate connection, in this case the moment is 37.04MetricTons-meter and a Shear of 30 MetricTons; I've checked the end plate design using the Design Series Guide 4 of AISC and seems right to me, however I'm concerned as to the welding on the small portion of W-Beam to the HSS Column is the right approach.
I haven't found anything similar on the web nor books.
Any comments?
Thank you

What do you think about the portion of W beam that is just directly welded to HSS Column? Would that welding be enough to transfer loads into column? (les assume there are no internal plates into the column)
Thank you
