This report presents a methodology for the design of all-bolted extended double angle, single angle, and tee shear connections. The report covers only the design of extended connections that involve beams and girders, but the principles set forth can be applied to connections to columns as well. Current steel connection design methodologies do not have standards for the design of extended connections which do not require that the beam be coped to allow clearance for the girder flange. Coping is an expensive and time consuming process which fabricators like to avoid if at all possible. Extended connections are a practical way to avoid coping. Using basic mechanics and code specific equations, a practical design for all-bolted extended shear connections can be derived. The derived methodology is used to formulate design tables that simplify the process. This report includes examples of how to use the design tables to design allbolted extended connections. The tables include design resistances for a wide range of angle and tee materials and bolts diameters, as well as different connection types.
