Design of Bolted Beam Connections,Design of Welded Beam Connections
Design of Bolted Beam Connections Connection may be 1. Simple connection/flexible connection 2. Moment resistant/rigid connection. 1. Flexible Connection Types (a) Framed connection (b) Unstiffened seated connection (c) Stiffened seated connection. (a) Framed connection If the shear to be transferred is less, the beam may be connected to the main beam or column using cleat angles only. (b) Unstif ened seated connection If shear force is larger the depth of cleat angle required for framed connection may become more than the depth of beam to be connected. In such case seat angle is connected to column over which beam rests. At top nominal cleat angles are provided. (c) Stif ened seated connection If the shear to be transferred is still larger seat angles are stiffened with angles. 2. Rigid/Moment Resistant Connection If moment to be transferred is small clip angle or split beam connection may be made. If moment to be transferred is large, bracket connection may be used.
