RE: SidePlate momenent connections
Side plate connections, I believe, are different. In order for that company to make any money off of their proprietary connnection you have to go through them for design. Therefore, it would not make sense for them to publish a standardized design procedure in AISC 358. If they did, then how would they ever make money off of these connections?
RE: SidePlate momenent connections
Regarding AISC 358, I heard that SidePlate will be included in the next supplement this summer. Since SidePlate has been prequalified by ICC (old ICBO), there probably was no rush to get AISC 358. Hope this helps.
