Title APPENDIX A Worked Example: Design of a continuous chord connection using splice plate connections 12 of 24 5 - 65 Therefore, in the end for the web component, 109,01kN b,Rd,w  F Plate component Compared with the web component, for the plate it can be noticed that the bolts b 1, b 2, b 3 become inner bolts and the bolts b 4 , b 5, b 6 become end bolts (see Figure A.8). Then, for the bolt b 1 : 0,92 inner b1, b, b,b1     117,81kN b1,Rd,p b,  F And for the bolt b 4 : 0,58 b,b4,end b,b4     74,97kN b4,Rd,p b,  F In the end, for the plate component, it should retained: 74,97kN b,Rd,p  F Figure A.8 Connection of the webs – Plate component – Determination of type of bolts  b  b k 1 k 1  b,end k 1,end  b,end k 1,inner  b,end k 1,end  b,inner k 1,end  b,inner k 1,inner  b,inner k 1,end F V,Ed,w b 4 b 5 b 6 b 1 b 2 b 3 N w /2
