5. Buckling:
The plates at the web splice line of 4-in length can be checked
against a load of 178/2 89 kips/plate. The slenderness ratio is
Kl 12
5 0.65 3 4.0 3 5 14.4
r B0.0625
Since this is less than 25, AISC Specification Section J4.4 allows
the plate to be checked for yield rather than buckling. This has
already been done.
This limit state is checked for the flange plates also.
2.3 Moment Connections
2.3.1 Introduction
The most commonly used moment connection is the field-welded moment
connection as shown in Fig. 2.33a. This connection is in common use in
all regions of the United States, where the seismic design category
