How to get end plate thickness in this case?

How to get end plate thickness in this case?

How to get end plate thickness in this case?

(OP)
Hi,

I've this end plate with two bolts around each flange , I hope you can give me a method to get this end plate thickness under axial and shear force as illustrated.

RE: How to get end plate thickness in this case?

I didn't see any forces on your drawing ?
Is this a footplate, an endplate, a splice?

RE: How to get end plate thickness in this case?

I'd assume a standard 45 degree load spread back to a line at the flange tips perpendicular to the flanges and then check flexure there. It's a difficult situation. Strictly speaking, this method isn't as applicable in this situation as it is when the load spread terminates at a stiffening element parallel with the assumed axis of plate bending.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
