Hi,
I need to design a bolt splice to connect two circular hollow sections. The member is a column taking moment & compression. I'm thinking of welding an end plate to the section & connect the two members with 4 bolts; the splice will be in the midsspan of the member(least moment). The member is 1 meter length supporting a pipe bwidge (lattice truss) spanning 30m. Any suggestion on the thickness of the end plate & the length of the bolt? Since the bolts are holding the end plates, The length will be only 75mm if 10mm plate is used.
thanks
