Hi,
New to this so hopefully I've posted in the correct area.
In the 14th edition of the AISC's Steel Construction Manual, section 9-10 (connections) gives a formula which allows you to calculate the minimum plate thickness required to eliminate prying (tmin).
The formula uses the ultimate plate/element strength (Fu) rather than the yield strength (Fy). Is this correct or is it a typo?
All other variations of this tmin formula I can find uses Fy and not Fu as stated in the latest edition. Not too sure if this is due to changes in the Specification from 360-05 to 360-10?
Any views would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Bob
