Plate Connection — Stepwise LaTeX Report with Diagrams (Shear Check)

Inputs

Axial force, P (kN) Inclination θ (deg) Horizontal eccentricity e_b (mm) Vertical eccentricity e_c (mm) Plate Lx (mm) Plate Ly (mm) Plate thickness t_p (mm) Number of bolts n Bolt diameter (mm) Bolt proof / ultimate relation factor (fub = k * f_y) — k Weld throat a (mm) Steel yield f_y (MPa)

Notes on shear checks (assumptions): bolt ultimate tensile assumed as fub = k × f_y (k editable). Single-shear bolt capacity taken as $0.6f_{ub}A_b$. Bearing allowable taken as $1.2f_y$ on plate (typical conservative assumption). Weld shear allowable taken as $0.6f_y$ on throat area. Adjust as required for your standard.
