Design Case 1 conirus. in the usual compoter cr manval analysis ofthis design problem
‘where all members intersect a a common gravity axis work point, the beam does not pat
‘icipate inthe carrying ofthis shear, and is designed for gravity loads andthe asia oad due
to the mechanism analysis required by AISC Seismic Provisions Section F23. In reality,
‘however, the beam participates with the gusset plates asthe principal camer ofthe shear due
to the brace force vertical components. The total vertical shear inthis case is 758 hips
(LRFD) snd 529 kis (ASD). As 2 “rule of thumb" the beam should be abe to cary one
half or more ofthis shear, pls the specified gravity shear, 0 avoid the need for doubler
plates. The chosen W24x68 beam, with an aailale shea strength of 295 kipa (LRFD) and
197 hips (ASD) from AISC Manual Table 3.6, will require doubler plates,
‘To avoid the use of doubler plates, use aW24%146, This an increase in weight of (146 Itt

‘Alternatively, the beam stub shown in Figure 5-33 can ws te heavier W24%146 section

Im order to peform the gusset plate checks ot vertical and horizontal sections atthe inter-

{tn this example, the Parallel Force Method (also known asthe Ricker methed) will be used
for simplicity (Thorton, 1991).
Note: Aematively, tbe Uniform Force Method is also applicable 19 this connection.
‘Because of the proportioning ofthe gusset plat in this example the Uniform Force Method
‘wil reslt in moments being assigned tothe vertical and horizontal itefaces. The forces
‘sed to evalate the limit states of web local yielding and web local erippling would then be
sudjusted to include these moments as iustrated in Example 5.310.
‘The Parallel Force Method has a disadvantage relative tothe Uniform Force Meth in that
‘minor norments result atthe column face. However, the use of a rigid beam-o-caluma con-
nection is generally sufficient to resist such moments and they may be disregarded under
these conditions.

due to gravity loads are shown in Figure 5-50. The connection configuration shown in

brace bucking with small Dexeral demand on the connection and supporting members. In
