SHS to CHS connection check using doubler plate

SHS to CHS connection check using doubler plate

(OP)
Hi,

I have a beam square hollow section (SHS150x8) connected to a column circular hollow section (500Dia15).

Attached is an excerpt from CIDECT design guide 1 referring to another design guide by choo.

Unfortunately, I cannot find anything relevant for me to check this connection subjected to axial, shear & moment.

Can you recommend a solution in this? Any references you can refer me to?

I am looking for a conventional/manual design. I have done a finite element analysis for this but I prefer to show my calculation using proven hand calculations.

Thanks in advance

E104909:
You say... "Attached is an excerpt from CIDECT design guide 1?" Don’t see it, make it a pdf. Show a sketch of what you have with some dimensions, sizes, reasonable proportions, etc. along with axial loads, loading in general and shear & moment. Show your FEA, what does it look like, for whatever clues it might offer. I don’t know what CIDECT is.
