Steel Connection

This document provides information on types of structural steel connections, including beam to beam, column to column, beam to column, and column base plate connections. It discusses bolted and welded connections, failure modes in bolted connections like single and double shear, bearing failure, and block shear. Examples are given to check the load capacity of tension splice and bolted beam to column connections considering bolt shear, bearing, tearing, and plate capacity. An assignment is provided to design a steel beam considering uniformly distributed and wall loads.

CONNECTION

Types of members joining


Beam to beam connections – Primary beam to secondary beam
connections, beam splice
Column to column connections - column splices use to connect
different size of column sections
Beam to column connections – Fin plates, End plates, web or end
cleats, Hunched connections
Column base plate connections

The bearing surface can be represented by projecting the cross

Block shear rupture of connection
• High strength bolts resist shear (primarily),
the connected part must resist yielding and
rupture.
• Weld must resist shear stress. The design
strengths depend on the weld materials.

Failure for block shear

The limit state for connections depends on the tension, shear,


bearing, bending yielding (due to eccentric loads) and rupture. Block shear rupture in

Example 1:Tension splice – single shear
A lap joint is shown in Figure 1 which a single grade 8.8, 16 mm diameter ordinary bolt connects two
of 10 mm thick S275 plates. There is one shear interface and it is assumed that the bolts is fully
threaded.
a) Check the minimum and maximum edge and end distances by assuming the steel exposed to the
weather or other corrosive influences
b) Check the load capacity of the connection with respect to :-
i. Bolt shear
ii. Bolt bearing
iii. Block tearing
iv. Plate tension capacity
Example 2:Tension splice – double shear
In this case, there are two shear interfaces and four 20 mm diameter Grade 8.8 of ordinary bolts as
shown in Figure 2. The outer plates are 8 mm thick, whilst the inner plate is 12 mm thick, all are S275
steel.
a) Check the minimum and maximum edge and end distances by assuming the steel exposed to the
weather or other corrosive influences

a) Check the load capacity of the connection with respect to :-


i. Bolt shear
ii. Bolt bearing
iii. Block tearing

Example 3 : Shear resistance of a welded
end plate to beam connection

Example 4 : Bolted beam-to-column
connection using an end plate
A beam section is connected to the flange of a column 305 x 305 x 97 UC, as shown in Figure 4
below. The beam is welded to an end plate 10 mm thickness and consequently the plate is
bolted to the flange of the column using 6 bolts 20 mm diameter, Grade 8.8.
a) Check positioning of holes for bolts
b) Determine bearing and shear resistance of bolt group
c) Calculate the resistance of welded connection between
beam and end-plate
Example 4 (cont.’)
Assignment 2
Figure 1 shows the beam layout of a floor plan of car park building. All beams are simply
supported and the secondary beam act as lateral restraint on the main beam. Design beam
2/A-D using steel section Grade S275. The design factored loadings are given as follows:
Uniformly distributed load on the slab = 8.0 kN/m2
Uniformly distributed load include its self-weight = 4.0 kN/m
There is a 3.5 m height brick wall on beam B/1-3, its weight (factored) is 4 kN/m2.

• Each student should proposed DIFFERENT SIZE OF SECTION, if not mark will divide equally
• Date of submission 23/05/2017 during lecture time.
