Combined shear connections

(OP)
A W30 girder shear connection has been under designed and we are evaluating using a double angle connection in combination with a seated connection, I am looking for any articles or documents that have studied this case and how this combination of connections would share the load from the girder.

RE: Combined shear connections

Excellent reference KootK, thank you. I especially like the fact that it gives an alternative to the seated connection combination. I try to learn something new every day and posts like that really help.

RE: Combined shear connections

I'll pass your thanks along to google for helping me find that document. :P

Thanks for the credit. By the time I read this you already had the link posted so you deserve the star.
