Question: A beam end experiences a design shear force V * * as shown in Fig. 1 . The design shear force V * * is

A beam end experiences a design shear force V** as shown in Fig. 1. The design shear force V** is equal to,
V**=0.3dtwfy
where d is the overall depth of the supported beam, tw is the thickness of its web and fy is the yield stress of the supported beam. The sections to be analysed are given in the table below.
Figure 1. Web Side Plate Connection
For your sections, design an appropriate web side plate connection, similar to that shown in Figure 1. You will need to consider a number of factors, including the size of the weld between the supporting member and the web side plate, the size of the web side plate itself, and the number, size and arrangement (single or double columns) of bolts used to join the web side plate to the supported member.
The steel used in both the supported and supporting members is Grade 300 and that used in the web side plate is Grade 250. As the length of the supported member is not given, hence the Design Check No 8-Beam rotation check is not required.
Be sure to include all appropriate calculations and to include a reasonably "nice", large-size (say, half an A4 page or so) drawing of the connection you have designed. Also include a table with the values of the various failure modes.
