That&#39;s a limitation.<img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/pastedimage1694621768610v1.png" alt=" " /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/781504?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 12 Sep 2023 14:42:12 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d04263c4-23e7-4509-82ac-c15961c0dd16Atul Malla<p>My question/comment is when you have both vertical shear and axial force on a skewed beam, the bent plate bolted (to the support column) - welded to the beam web ignores the axial force and does not check bolt tension &amp; prying at the bent plate to column interface.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/781391?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Sep 2023 21:24:27 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:2bba9c7d-2330-4df2-b280-b217162596bdSeth Guthrie<p>What design code are you using? I assume the plates are bolted to the beam and that prying is considered when the loads are only shear forces.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
