A steel end plate ($275, thickness=10 mm) is used to connect a column and a beam as shown in Fig.1. The connection for column is a group of bolts (M 20) and the connection for beam is fillet welds. Given Q=200 kN, T=30 kN and M₂=12 kN-m (applied at centriod of the bolt group), it is required to: (1) Determine the design shear (Fv,Ea) and tensile (Ft,Ea) forces at the most critical bolt; (2) Check if the bending strength for the plate is sufficient according to EC3; (3) Check if the strength of welds is sufficient according to EC 3 using the simplified method.
