Do not click links or open attachments unless you <br />recognize the sender and know the content is safe. <br />Drew: I checked vertical and horizontal welds of the brace knife plate to beam flange and column knife plate, assuming <br />9" and 10" eccentricity respectively, and assuming the actual geometry called out in 5/S3.1 and using the coefficients <br />Tables 8-4 and 8-10 of the AISC Manual (see attached). Is this okay? Should I check anything else? The connection <br />appears to be conservative overall, with quite a bit of extra capacity. For the vertical weld, I checked only the portion <br />below the beam flange, which is conservative; in reality, probably a significant portion of the vertical force component <br />will transfer thru the double fillet weld on the beam bottom flange to the upper portion of the column knife plate. <br />Let me know if this is acceptable.
