Plate Washer Design Strength Analysis

This document provides calculations to check the capacity of a plate washer connection. It calculates the yield strength, tensile strength, section properties, and design strengths of the plate washer. It also calculates the weld size, strength, and total strength. Finally, it performs checks on the weld capacity, bearing capacity, and shear capacity of the plate washer compared to the shear load and determines they are all adequate with the result "Passed".
