Question: Design a bolted flange - plated FR connection between an A 9 9 2 W 2 1 x 6 2 beam and the flange of

Design a bolted flange-plated FR connection between an A992 W21x62 beam and the flange of an A992 W14x109 column. Use A325N bolts (you choose the diameter) and E70 weld filler metal. Plate material used should be A572 Gr.50.
The factored connection loads are Vu =40k and Mu =250kip-ft.
You may neglect web panel zone shear but check all other relevant concentrated load limit states for the column and design stiffeners, if needed. Use the course flange-plate example problem as a template.
The connection is not near the end of the column.
