where t is the thickness of the end plate, d and f ub are,respectively, the nominal diameter and ultimate tensilestress of the bolt material; and f y is the yield stress of basematerial of the considered component [15]. For theremaining components, the capacity design, accordingto Tables 1 and 2, respectively, is followed. We must alsoensure that the joint possesses adequate resistance androtational capacity. As far as resistance is concerned,the column web panel must resist shear stresses actingwhen the global frame mechanism forms, that is
