CONNECTIONS

Connections
Classification of connections
Method of fastening: Bolts, welding, pin, rivets.
Connection rigidity: Simple, rigid or semi-rigid.
Joint resistance: Bearing connections and friction connections.
Fabrication location: Shop or field connections.
Joint locations: Beam-column, beam-to-beam and column-to-foundation.
Connection geometry: Single web angle, single plate, double web angle, top and
seat angles (with and without stiffeners), end plates, or header plate, welded
connections using plates and angles, etc.
Type of force transferred across the structural connection: shear connections,
shear and moment connection or simply moment connection, tension or
compression, tension or compression with shear.
A connection failure may lead to a catastrophic failure of the whole structure.
Normally, a connection failure is not as ductile as that of a steel member failure.
Connection failure may be avoided by adopting higher safety factor for the joints
than the members.
For achieving an economical design, it is important that connectors develop full
or a little extra strength of the members, it is joining.

Though square heads cost less, hexagonal heads give better appearance, are
easier to hold by wrenches, and require less turning space.

For grade 4.6 bolts, nuts of grade 4 arc used and for grade 6.6, nuts o/ grade 6 or i.0 arc used.

• In property class 4.6, the number 4 indicates 1/100th the nominal ultimate
tensile strength in N/mm2 and the number 6 indicates the ratio of yield stress to
ultimate stress, expressed as a percemtage. Thus the ultimate tensile strength of
class 4.6 bolt is 400 N/mm2 and yield strength is 0.6 times 400, which is
240N/mm2.
Made from mild steel rods with a square or hexagonal head.
They are used as temporary fasteners during erection.
They are primarily used in light structures under static loads such as small trusses,
purlins etc.
They are not recommended for connections subjected to impact, fatigue, or
dynamic loads.
Though bolts are least expensive, the connection may require a large number of
such bolts they may not produce the least expensive connection.
Bolted Connections High Strength Friction Grip (HSFG) bolts

• They are made from bars of medium carbon steel.


• The surface of the shank is kept unfinished as in the case of Black bolts
• Special techniques are used for tightening the nuts to induce a specified imitial
tension in the bolt (called the proof-load), which causes sufficient friction between the

faying faces (members and washers). Due to friction, the slip in the joint is

eliminated; joints with HSFG bolts are called non-slip connections or friction type

connections. Since there is no-slippage in the joint, the shank of the bolt is
not subjected to any shearing.

4 The outside diameter of a washer is an important dimension when detailing, for example, to
avoid overlapping an adjacent weld.
♦*The thread length depends on the length of the bolt, which is calculated as grip length plus the
allowance for grip.
