Flow chart: Portal frame eaves connection

This chart sets out the process for verifying the adequacy of a bolted end plate connection for
a portal frame. The resistances in the tension and the compression zones and in the horizontal
shear zone in the column web are determined before the design moment resistance of the joint
is established. The vertical shear resistance is also determined.
