Bolt and weld capacity per AISC 360-22, ASD and LRFD side by side, using the simplified coefficients from AISC's Basic Design Values quick-reference card. Different from Detailer Tools: those are arithmetic estimating aids — these compute real (simplified) structural capacity values, so they carry a stronger caveat.
Tension, shear, bearing, tearout, and slip resistance for a single bolt — Groups 120/144/150/200, N or X, single or double shear.
Fillet shear, PJP groove tension, and groove compression — per inch and total, weld metal vs base metal, governing value shown.
The limit state that usually governs a coped beam. One vertical bolt line: both halves of Eq. J4-5, ASD and LRFD, every area printed — and the block it is checking drawn to scale from your numbers.
Gross yielding and net section rupture, LRFD and ASD, with the B4.3b hole allowance, the staggered-hole s²/4g correction and a shear lag helper — and the tear path drawn from your numbers.
Four limit states at once on a single-plate connection — the bolt group computed bolt by bolt (shear, bearing, tearout), plate shear yielding and rupture, and block shear — with the governing one named. Zero eccentricity, so it is an upper bound, and it says so.
Verify with project engineer, contract documents, and applicable code/specification. Preliminary/field-reference values only — not a substitute for a licensed engineer’s design. Each page is one limit state, not a connection design: they do not check bolt spacing, edge distance, prying action, weld access holes, ply-thickness limits, or the other requirements of a complete connection — see AISC Specification Chapter J.
