Simple Shear Connection 1

[onlym112]

Hello,

I am currently designing a simple shear connection where one end of a W200x27 beam is welded to an L152x89x9.5 angle which in turn is bearing on a OWSJ flange. The welded leg is 152mm. Please see attached photo for reference. I am in the process of figuring out the various limit states that I need to check and was wondering what everyone else would consider. I am an engineer-in-training and am just beginning to learn steel connection design. So far these are the following checks that I think are applicable:

Supported Beam:
- Shear Yielding
- Tensile Yielding
- Interaction of Shear and Tensile

Welds:
- Weld resistance to shear
- Weld resistance to axial

Angle:
- Bending of angle leg due to axial
- Bending of angle leg due to shear

Supporting Joist:
- Bearing
- Bending of flange

Is there something else that I need to consider? If so, is there an example or a design clause you could lead me to?

Thank you,

Without getting into the nitty gritty of your specific problem. I recall a post on here recently that the effects of using the angle this way are discussed.

Also found this presentation That shows some alternate ways to connect a WF to OWSJ.

If you look at the first link I posted, there are some additional considerations on your angle I believe.
