Double Angle Clip connection of a W Beam to an HSS Column 2

[dik]

Can someone point me in the direction of a really good detailed design example of this common connection. I want to review my SMath program to make sure I've addressed everything. My latest project has several of these with fairly significant loadings.

Thanks...

Not exactly and example, but this article should be helpful for breaking down and ensuring you have the right limit states covered: Link

Thanks pham... that was one of the articles I used for my program... I was hoping to find a detailed example that went through all the steps, just as a check... I have about 20 connections to design with loads in the magnitude of 100K and more. Fortunately my initial program addressed fasteners in # of rows and # of columns... The other issue, and one I haven't addressed is the clip angles will be welded on the 'back' side at the corners of the columns and not on the face of the HSS. HSS columns for this project are 'small' dimensions, but thick walls.

Some of the beams will be in the order of W18x130. Nearly all connections will be like(, but with a couple of added bolts):

dik, would this be helpful?

AISC design examples - go to page K-15, example K.3 (pg 458/958 in the pdf).

Also attaching a report from a mock example I put together quickly in RISAConnection. It's a nice program, thought not exactly cheap.

It looks good... I'll try and incude anything from this...

thanks, I'll take a look. A BPS for intent...

It's too reliant on the AISC manual... I have to check the manual results...
