  6. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture Steel Connections |Overview • Connections are the glue that holds a steel structuretogether. • Historically, most major structural failures have been due to some form of connectionfailure. • Connections dependon: • Type ofloading • Strength andstiffness • Economy • Difficulty or ease of erection L E E T S 6 Structural Steel Connections |OVERVIEW

  7. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture • Steel connections have a direct influence on the cost of the framingsystem. • While a connection may be efficient in theuse • of material, it may still be very expensive toerect. • Repetitive connection design may savecosts. L E E T S 6 Structural Steel Connections |OVERVIEW

  8. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture • Most connections have the connecting material (plates,angles, …) attached to one member in the fabrication shop and to the other members in thefield. • It is a common practice to weld shop attachments and to bolt fieldattachments. • If the supporting girder and a supported beam have the same depth, the supported beam must be doublecoped. • End-plate connections are always shopwelded. L E E T S 6 Structural Steel Connections |OVERVIEW

  9. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture Steel Connections | BoltedConnections • Bolting is the preferred method of connecting members on the site. Staggered bolt layout allows easier access for tightening with a pneumatic wrench when a connection is all bolted. • High strength bolts may besnug-tightened orslip-critical. • Snug-tightened connections arereferred to as bearingconnections • Bolts in a slip-critical connection act like clamps holding the plies of the material together. L E E T S Structural Steel Connections | BOLTEDCONNECTIONS

  10. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture • Bearing type connections may have threads included ( Type N ) or excluded ( Type X ) from the shearplane(s). • Including the threads in the shearplane reduces the strength of the connection by approximately25%. • Loading along the length of thebolt puts the bolt in axialtension. • If tension failure occurs, it usually takes place at the threadedsection.

  11. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture • Three types of high strength bolts A325, A490 (Hexagonal HeadBolts), and F1852 (Button HeadBolt) • A325 may begalvanized • A490 bolts must not be galvanized F1852 bolts are mechanicallygalvanized • High strength bolts are mostcommonly available in 5/8”– 1 ½”diameters • Bolting requires punching or drilling ofholes Slotted holes allow for thermal expansion /contraction • Holes may be standard size holes, oversize holes, short slotted holes, long slottedholes L E E T Oversize holes allow for tolerance in assembling theframe S Structural Steel Connections | BOLTEDCONNECTIONS

  12. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture Steel Connections | WeldedConnections • Due to high costs of labor, extensive field -welding is the most expensive component in a steelframe. • Welding should be performed on baremetal. • Shop welding is preferred over fieldwelding. • The weld material should have a higher strength than the pieces beingconnected.

  13. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture • Single-pass welds are more economical than multi-passwelds. • The most economical size weld that may be horizontallydeposited in one pass has5/16”. Miller Outdoor Theater Houston .Texas. • Fillet welds and groove welds make up the majority of all structuralwelds. • The strength of a fillet weld is directly proportional to the weld’s throatdimension. • The capacity of a weld depends onthe weld’s throat dimension and itslength L E E Crown Hall at IITCampus Chicago .Illinois Ludwig Mies van derRohe T S Structural Steel Connections | WELDEDCONNECTIONS

  14. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture Steel Connections | ShearConnections • Shear connections are the most prevalent type of connections in a steel framebuilding. • Shear connections are called simple connections – Since they are assumed not to transfer bending moment, thus allowing end rotation of themember. • Shear connections may be made to the web of the supported member while the flanges remainunconnected. L E E T Shear Connections transfer load from beam web to column flange. No moment transfer occurs since the flanges are free torotate Cantilevered Beam with Shearsplice S Structural Steel Connections | SHEARCONNECTIONS

  15. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture The Corning Museum ofGlass Corning . NewYork Smith - Miller +Hawkinson • Seat or hanger connections are the only type of shear connections that connect to the flange of the supportedbeam. • Angles for shear connections may be attached to supporting members by bolting orwelding. • Although single plate connections, are the most economical, they must sometimes be evaluated foreccentricity. • Single angle connections allow end-rotation for flexibleconnections. • Single angle connections tend to have lower load capacities than double-angleconnections. L E E T S Structural Steel Connections | SHEARCONNECTIONS

  16. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture Steel Connections | Moment Connections • Moment connections are also called rigidconnections. • Moment connections carry a portion or the full moment capacity of the supported member thus preventing any end-rotation of themember. • Moment connections are typically designed to also carry the shear component of theload. L E E The Royal OntarioMuseum Toronto .Canada DanielLibeskind T S Structural Steel Connections | MOMENTCONNECTIONS

  17. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture • Moment connections provide continuity between the supported and supportingmembers. • Relative rotation between thesupporting and supported members isnegligible. • The flanges of the supported member are attached to either a connection elementor directly to the supportingmember.

  18. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture Steel Connections | Welding vs.Bolting WELDING BOLTING • Advantages: • Eliminates need for punching ordrilling. • Simplifies complicatedjoints. • Disadvantages: • Greater level of skillrequired for welding thanbolting • More expensive thanbolting. • Weld inspection is required andis expensive. • Advantages: • Easy method of connecting members on thesite. • Field-bolting is cheaperthan field-welding. • Disadvantages: • Requires drilling or punchingthrough allplies. L E E T S Structural Steel Connections | WELDING vs.BOLTING

  19. STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture Shop-Bolted Double Angle | Field-Bolted Beam to Girder orColumn • Double angles are shop-bolted to the web of thebeam. • If the beam and girder have the same depth, then both flanges of the beam are coped to meet flush with the top flange of thegirder. • The double angles are then field-bolted to theweb of thegirder. • The holes on the beam and the girder may beoffset with respect to each other for ease offastening. • Some rotation is possible in the gap between the beam flanges and the column web. This happens by the yielding of the connection material (the outstanding angleleg) • This is a shear connection since the double angles are fastened to the web, and transfer the load inshear. • The bolts on the beam web are in doubleshear. Those on the girder web are in singleshear. L E E T S Structural Steel Connections | SHEAR1

STRUCTURE OF THEEVERYDAY a teaching primer for colleges ofarchitecture Shop-Welded Double Angle | Field-Welded Beam to ColumnWeb • Double angles areshop-welded to the web of thebeam. • If the beam flanges are too wide to fit in between the column flanges, the beam flanges will becoped. • Some rotation is possible in the gapbetween the beam flanges and the column web. This happens by the yielding of the connection material (the outstanding angleleg) • This is a shear connection since the double angles are fastened to the webs of the beam andcolumn. • The vertical segment of the weld transfers the load from the beam web to the columnweb. • Welding all around the outstanding legwill inhibit the flexibility of theconnection. • The weld at the top is limited to aweld-return. • The weld at the bottom isoptional.
