beff,t,wcis the effective width of the column web in tension from 6.2.6.3. For a joint with a single bolt-row in tension, beff,twc should be taken as equal to the smallest of the effective lengths £eff (individually or as part of a group of bolt-rows) given for this bolt-row in Table 6.4 (for an unstiffened column flange) or Table 6.5 (for a stiffened column flange).

Columnflange in bending (for a single bolt-row in tension)

£eff is the smallest of the effective lengths (individually or as part of a bolt group) for this bolt-row given in Table 6.4 for an unstiffened column flange or Table 6.5 for a stiffened column flange; m is as defined in Figure 6.8;

End-plate in bending (for a single bolt-row in tension)

£eff is the smallest of the effective lengths (individually or as part of a group of bolt-

rows) given for this bolt-row in Table 6.6; m is generally as defined in Figure 6.11, but for a bolt-row located in the extended part of an extended end-plate m — mx , where mx is as defined in Figure 6.10.

Flange cleat in bending

£eff is the effective length of the flange cleat from Figure 6.12; m is as defined in Figure 6.13.
