Connection Design for Uplift on I Beam
Connection Design for Uplift on I Beam
(OP)
Hi,
I am having an uplift force of 14k at the support on a cantilever steel beam.
The beam is not failing. The supports are going to be HSS 3x3x1/4.I am planning to use cap plate and (4) bolted connection between HSS and I beam flange. Should I consider anything other than tension on bolts when designing the connection ?
Thank you!

Bending of the cap plate and beam flange would need to be considered of course.
