Fin plate rotation capacity


Fin plate connections derive their rotation capacity from:
  • bolt deformation (in shear)
  • hole distortions (bearing)
  • out of plane bending of the fin plate

In order to achieve adequate rotational capacity, it is necessary to proportion fin plate connections so that the following failure modes are prevented:
  • bolt shear
  • weld rupture
  • tensile tearing of the fin plate
