How does ideCAD design Four Bolts Unstiffened End Plate Connection according to AISC 358-16 & AISC 360-16?

...

Tip
  • 4 Four bolts unstiffened end plate connection is designed automatically according to the AISC 358-16 and AISC 360-16 by the ideCAD Structural.

...

Lh = distance between plastic hinge locations, in. (mm)
Lst = length of stiffener, as shown in Figure 6.5, in. (mm)
Mpr = probable maximum moment at the plastic hinge, kip-in. (N-mm), given by Equation 2.4-1
Sh = distance from the face of the column to the plastic hinge, in. (mm)
Vgravity = beam shear force resulting from 1.2D + f1L + 0.2S (where f1 is a load factor determined by the applicable building code for live loads, but not less than 0.5), kips (N)
Vu= shear force at the end of the beam, kips (N)
bbf = width of beam flange, in. (mm)
d = depth of connecting beam, in. (mm)
tp = thickness of end-plate, in. (mm)

...

Four bolt end-plate connections consist of welding the beam to an end plate and bolting the end plate to a column flange.
