P

sp is the length obtained by dispersion at 45° through the end-plate (at least tp and, provided that the length of end-plate below the flange is sufficient, up to 2tp ).

for bolted connection with angle flange cleats:

- for a rolled I or H section column: s=rc

- for a welded I or H section column: s = 42a c is the reduction factor for plate buckling:

is the plate slenderness:

for a rolled I or H section column: for a welded I or H section column:

dwc = Uc - 2 ( tfC + rc ) qwc = Uc - 2 ( tfc + 42a )

^wc is a reduction factor and is given in 6.2.6.2(2).
