Design Parameters

Lengths accept decimals or fractions, e.g. 3-1/2 or 13/16.
Minimum design shear of min(40 kN, 0.15 φVv) applied (AS 4100 9.1.4).
Seismic design inputs belong in this code’s engine.
0 = skip the beam-rotation check. Ix is calculated from the section.
If not braced, cope strength and lateral-torsional buckling interact (Manual Part 9) - member design.
Double angles only - single-angle connections are a separate Manual Part 10 procedure.
Design thickness, e.g. 7.8 for 8 mm EA, 9.8 for 10 mm (nominal = rounded value).
Slip-critical: pretensioned bolts, standard holes, no fillers (hf = 1.0); slip is checked beside bearing and tearout.
Confirm against the selected code and bolt specification.
Clearance between the beam end and the support face; sets ae1.
Nominal tensile strength ≥ 2/3 Ru (LRFD) or Ra (ASD), not less than 10 kips (44.5 kN).

Local capacity of supporting member (Check 10)

Same section, cleats and bolt line on the other side; common rows bolt through both cleats.
