Details
From the reference:
Verify the available strength of an all-bolted double-angle shear connection between an ASTM A992/A992M W36×231 beam and an ASTM A992/A992M W14×90 column flange, as shown in Figure II.A-1A-1, supporting the following beam end reactions: RD = 37.5 kip, RL = 113 kips. Use ASTM A572/A572M Grade 50 angles. Bolts are ¾” Group 120, thread condition N, standard holes. Angles are 2L5x3-1/2x5/16 SLBB. Refer to the figure in the reference for additional details.

| Available shear transfer strength at the bolt holes at column flange (kip) | 281.51 | 282 | < 1% |
| Shear strength of angles - yielding (kip) | 441.33 | 441 | < 1% |
| Shear strength of angles - rupture (kip) | 302.12 | 302 | < 1% |
| Block shear rupture of angles (kip) | 315.86 | 315 | < 1% |
