Single Plate connections to Tube Steel Columns
(OP)
Is there any design guide/tool/analysis that adresses Single Plate connections to Tube Steel Columns? I am particulary interested in welded single plate connections against the side of the tube column supporting beams in shear connections. When do we get beyond what is reasonable for the tube skin to withstand such a support condition?

This is available through AISC, AISI, and The Steel Tube Institute of North America. It covers single plate connections in the section on shear. This is a very helpful guide for designing with tube sections.

The shear stress distribution is clearly a "V" shape from the center of the plate downward, with rather quick attenuation of stress moving toward the rolled corners.

You also get plate rupture which needs to be checked.
The moment induces horizontal shear in the bolts which must be added to the vertical shear the total of which should be less than allowable.
It's not as simple as one would. The reason I developed the spreadsheet for these calculations, is I had to design numerous ones for a job.

Yes, I would like to receive your spreadsheet. I just could not figure a way to e-mail to you.
My address is, with proper modification, mmp(deletethis)@troyergroup.com
Thank you.
