AISC 360-16
Single Angle Shear Connection Calculator (AISC 360-16)
AutoDesign’s single-angle tool designs steel beam-to-girder shear connections using a single bolted angle, with a coped beam framing into the girder web, to AISC 360-16. It also handles combined shear plus axial (tension) demand, with angle tension and prying checks.
What this calculator does
- ✓Design single-angle shear connections to AISC 360-16
- ✓Bolt shear, bearing and tearout on the angle legs, beam web and girder web
- ✓Angle shear/tension yielding, rupture and block shear; beam-web shear yielding and coped-section checks
- ✓Combined shear + axial: angle tension yielding/rupture, axial tearout and prying
- ✓Batch analysis and Design & Optimize
Frequently asked questions
Does it account for the coped beam? +
Yes. When the beam is coped to frame into the girder web, the reduced section is checked for flexural strength and local stability per AISC 360-16.
Which bolt limit states are included? +
Bolt shear, bearing and tearout on the angle legs, the beam web and the girder web, plus a slip-critical slip check for SC bolts, along with angle block shear and net-section rupture.
Is batch design supported? +
Yes — you can run many cases at once and auto-design / optimize each row.
