Stress on a Steel Plate Connected to the Flange of a Beam

[Scotty Boy]

Hi there,

I am trying to solve for the stress on a steel plate connected to a steel beam, and I am just wondering if I am on the right track (This is the first time I have done it).

Here is the FBD:


Here is my calculations:



So, I ask, am I on the right track? Do I need to consider anything else in the calculations?

Many Thanks

I am sorry if disappoints you but no..
The brick wall load 8.11 kN is supported by the cantilever steel plate . The effects are the bending moment and the shear should be checked at the connection to the flange .
the bending moment would be ; Med = Ned *(0.36-0.254-0.05)= 8.11*0.56=0.454 kNm

and σ=0.454 *6/ ( 1* 0.012^2)=19 mPa so negligible bending stress .

Hi HTURKAK,

If the plate was welded and connected at both sides of the flange, would you not take moments from the centre of the beam? So Med becomes Ned*(0.36-0.127-0.05)?

The beam will experience torsional moment equal to Mt=Ned*(0.180)=8.11*0.180=1.46 kN-m/ M.
