@lexpatrie unfortunately I am only commissioned to design for the steel connections as the steel frame was designed by another engineering firm

The end plate definitely works as a moment connection. It's very unusual for Engineers to design a beam to column connection with a moment in the minor axis of the column. I agree, fabricators favour different options. You probably don't need column stiffeners if beams are fixed to the Web on...

Yes that would be ideal but unfortunately the designer is very strict with the levels.

Thank you all for your input. The Eurocode allows the bolts to be inside the flanges with the bolts in the upper zone resisting tension. Use of extended plates is also permitted which would locate the bolts above the flange. However, in this project, I am not allowed to project the plate above...

@human909 when considering the beams as a splice, if each beam moment reaction is 75kNm would you design the splice as 150kNm ?

@lexpatrie how is it not a moment connection. it can withstand upto 60kNm?

Hi All, Is it a common detail for beam to column web moment connection to share bolts. I am concerned that the bolts will have to resists double the tension applied from each beam to column moment connection. In the image attached, the beams go into the web where the endplates share bolts...
