Dear All,
In the indicated connection I am facing the following issues:
1- Warning that there is overlap between the compression bolts & tension bolts, What is the meaning of that?
2- The used profile for the beam is HEA100 having 56mm between radius roots, the vertical shear weld capacity considered for 28mm to resist the applied load. The depth of the haunch is ignored in the calculation of the capacity, need clarification why the haunch is ignored?
Thanks,

1. The overlapping bolts check was not considering the haunch. This is fixed and will be available in the next release.
2. Moment end plate connections using haunched beams is implemented following Eurocode provisions due the lack of AISC references. Eurocode haunched moment end plate connections just check the following welds, which are referenced in P398 Moment resisting Joints to Eurocode 3 (green book), page 40-41:
Eurocode provisions neglect the weld from haunch web to end plate. For AISC we are using the same approach but we could also see that there is no reason not to consider it. We will add this as an enhancement for the next release.
