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
