CONNECTIONS
Connections are structural elements used for joining
different members of a structural steel frame work.
Weld
Connecting Plates
Connecting Angles
On the Basis of Connecting Medium.
Bolted Connections
Welded Connections
Bolted-Welded Connections
Used for very long time.
Made up of:
Round Ductile steel bar called shank.
A head at one end
Disadvantages
1. If subjected to vibratory loads, results in reduction in
strength get loosened.
2. Unfinished bolts have lesser strength because of non
uniform diameter
WHOSE
COMPONENTS ARE
JOINED TOGETHER
PRIMARILY BY
WELDS.
• Groove ( More reliable than others)
Fillet (Mostly used, Weaker than groove and
others)
Plug (expensive – poor transmission of tensile
forces)
Slot (expensive - poor transmission of tensile
forces)
Plug and Slot welds – stitch different partsof
members together.
Economical – Cost of materials and labors.
Efficiency is 100% as compared to rivets (75- 90%)
Fabrication of Complex Structures – Easy – like
Circular Steel pipes.
Provides Rigid Joints – Modern Practice is of Rigid
Joints.
No provision for expansion or contraction therefore
greater chances of cracking.
Beam Splice
Connects column to column.
Column splice comes under this category.
Used to connect column sections of different
sizes.
Splices - designed for both moment
and shear unless intended to
utilize the splices as internal
hinges.
Connects Beam to column.
Very Common
