I have a Cee channel (16ga) that I need to develope a splice to be able to handle the moment and shear allowed for the member. I plan on designing the web plate to handle the shear, and the flange to handle the moment. How do I go about designing the plates and connections to withstand these forces? I've looked in AISC and the Light Gage manual to no avail. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

The AISI Specification would have the basic allowables for fasteners, etc. Deciding on moment arms, actual shears in connector elements, etc. will be fun.
