Title APPENDIX A Worked Example: Design of a continuous chord connection using splice plate connections 9 of 24 5 - 62 6.3. Summary of the internal forces and moments In the web: N w = 576,42 kN In one flange: N f = 495,49 kN V f = 0,85 kN M f = 0,97 kN 7. Verification of the web connection The connection of the webs is a double lap joint. The web component will be verified and by symmetry only one plate component. 7.1. Design details EN 1993-1-8 Table 3.3 It is assumed that the structure is not exposed to the weather or other corrosive influences. The design details are verified for the web component and for the plate component in the tables below Table A.1 Connection of the webs – Web component – Design details Distance or spacing Min. value Design value Max. value e 1 24 47,5 e 2 24 1) p 1 44 70 105 p 2 48 95 105 1) Not applicable because of the proximity of the flange Table A.2 Connection of the webs – Plate component – Design details Distance or spacing Min. value Design value Max. value e 1 24 35 e 2 24 40 p 1 44 70 98 p 2 48 95 98 7.2.
