Part 11: Moment Connections 11 - 16 4 JOINT DESIGN TABLES 4.1 General This Section gives design tables for several typical configurations of moment connections in portal frames. It covers both eaves and apex connections. Three basic profiles are covered: IPE 300, IPE 400 and IPE 500, in steel grades S235, S275 and S355. The profile sizes are generally those appropriate to span lengths of 20, 25 and 30 m respectively. For each profile, three configurations of apex connections are tabulated for a typical bolt size and end plate thickness, and three configurations of eaves connections are tabulated for the same typical bolt size and end plate thickness. For each profile there are two additional tables, one for a different bolt class and the other for a different end plate thickness. These two additional tables are only given for apex connections without external bolts and for eaves connections with half haunch. Tables 4.1 and 4.2 give the table numbers of all the configurations.
