Continuity and doubler plates
Continuity and doubler plates
(OP)
Hello Everyone:
Are the continuity plates and doubler plate should be checked by the couple being produced by the Plastic Moment at the beam, or the moment at the face of the column due to the load (Shear and moment diagram).
I am confused, I thought I was the plastic moment, but I saw someone using the Moment from the S&M Diagram. Thanks in advance for your help.

"continuity plates should be provided as required by Sections J10.1, J10.2 and J10.3 of the Specification. The bending moment used to check for continuity plates should be the same bending moment used to design the beam-to-column connection; in other words, either 1.1RyMp (LRFD) or (1.1/1.5)RyMp (ASD) or the maximum moment that can be transferred to the connection by the system."
