Title APPENDIX A Worked Example: Design of a continuous chord connection using splice plate connections 18 of 24 5 - 71 F V,v,Ed F V,h,Ed F V,Ed h v Figure A.11 Directions of the design shear force Table A.5 sums up the determination of the design shear forces. The vertical component of the load can be neglected. We will confine to the horizontal direction for the design bearing resistance checking. In addition, if we had not considered the shear force Ed V and the moment Ed M , the unique horizontal design shear force would be: N,bi,h V,bi,h,Ed F F  = -82,58 kN That is a difference of  2% So the value of 84,02 kN can be retained (= maximum value obtained for V,bi,Ed F ) for the design shear force: 84,02kN V,Ed  F .
