Title APPENDIX A Worked Example: Design of a continuous chord connection using splice plate connections 8 of 24 5 - 61 5.2. Shear force The shear force is fully transferred by the flanges. So: / 2 Ed V,f V V  (per flange) 5.3. Bending moment The bending moment about the weak axis is fully transferred by the flanges:  M,f M 0,855 kNm for each flanges 6. Internal forces in each connected parts 6.1. Connection of the webs The cover plate of webs (and its bolts) is only subjected to an axial force: N N,w = 576,4 kN 6.2. Connection of the flanges Each of cover plates of flanges (and its bolts) is subjected to:  An axial force N N,f = 495,49 kN,  A shear force V V,f = 0,85 kN  A bending moment M M,f = 0,855 kNm The moment due to the eccentricity of the shear force against the centroid of the joint (see Figure A.6): V,f V V,f M V e  With: e V = 140 mm M V,f = 0,119 kNm V V,f G e v M V,f Figure A.6 Moment due to the eccentricity of the shear force
