Introduction Connections are structural elements used for joining
different members of a structural steel frame work.
Steel Structure is an assemblage of different member such as “BEAMS,COLUMNS” which are connected to one other, usually at member ends fastners,so that it shows a single composite unit.

Riveted Connections
Used for very long time. Made up of:
Round Ductile steel bar called shank.
A head at one end
The length of the rivet should sufficient to form the second head.
Design - very similar to bearing type of bolted connection.
![Page 10: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Installation Heating of the rivet
Inserting it to an oversize hole pressure to the head. Squeezing the plain End by Pneumatic driver Round
head. On Cooling Reduces in
Length–Clamping Force

![Page 12: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Riveting is no longer used…
The introduction of high strength structural bolts. The labour costs associated with large riveting
crews The cost involved in careful inspection and removal
of poorly installed rivets. The high level of noise associated with driving
rivets.
![Page 13: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Bolted Connections Fastened Together primarily by Bolts.
Bolts may be loaded in:
Tension
Shear
Both Tension & Shear
Threads of bolts under shear force:
Excluded - Increased strength
Included - Decreased stregth.
![Page 14: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Types Of Bolts
Bearing type bolts
High strength friction grip bolts (HSFG)
![Page 15: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The most common type is bearing bolts in clearance holes, often referred to as
1. Black Bolts
Ordinary, unfinished, rough, or common bolts. Least Expensive Primarily - Light structures under static load such as
small trusses, purlins etc
![Page 16: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2. Turned Bolts
Similar to unfinished bolts. Shanks - Hexagonal Rods Primarily - Light structures under static load such as
small trusses, purlins etc Expensive – Limited use – Structures with no
Slippage Connections
![Page 17: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. Ribbed Bolts
• Round head similar to Rivets.
• Raised ribs parallel to the shank.
• Actual Diameter - slightly Larger than the hole
• Tightly fit into the hole.
• Popular - Economical in Material & Installation
![Page 18: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
High Strength Friction Grip (HSFG)
Uses when bearing type bolts slips under shear High strength bolts (8G or 10K grade) Pre-tensioned
against the plates to be bolted together so that contact pressure developed between the plates being joined
Prevents relative slip when extra shear is applied Higher Shear Resistance.
![Page 19: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Advantages
1. The bolting operation is very silent
2. Bolting is a cold process hence there is no risk of fire
3. Bolting operation is more quicker than riveting.
4. Less man power is required in making the connections.
Disadvantages1. If subjected to vibratory loads, results in reduction in
strength get loosened.
2. Unfinished bolts have lesser strength because of non uniform diameter
![Page 20: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Welded Connections
whose components are joined together primarily by welds.
Welding Notations were developed by
American Welding Society (AWS).
![Page 21: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Types Of Weld• 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
parts of members together.
![Page 22: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Positions of the welds
Horizontal Vertical Overhead Flat

Advantages
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.
![Page 24: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Disadvantage
No provision for expansion or contraction therefore greater chances of cracking.
Uneven heating and cooling - member may distort - may result in additional stresses.
Inspection is difficult and more costlier than rivets
![Page 25: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Bolted- Welded Connections
Most connections are Shop Welded and Field Bolted types.
More Cost Effective Better Strength &
Ductility characteristics –Fully welded.

According to the type of internal Shear (semi rigid, simple) connections
Moment (rigid) connections
![Page 27: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Shear (semi rigid, simple) connections
Allows the beam end to rotate without a significant restraint.
Transfers shear out of beam Most Common Types:
Double clip
Shear End Plate
Fin Plate
![Page 28: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Moment (rigid) connections
Designed to resist both Moment and Shear. Often referred - rigid or fully restrained connections
• Provide full continuity between the connected members
• Designed to carry the full factored moments.
Principal Reason - buildings has to resist the
effect of lateral forces such as wind and
earthquake.

Single plate angle Connections
Two Step Process A plate is welded to secondary section (beam) An Angle is welded to Primary Section (column or
Beam) single shear plate welded to secondary
beam and bolted to Primary beam or column.
![Page 32: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Double web angle connections
Two angles welded or shop bolted to the web
of a secondary beam. After erection the angles are bolted or site
welded to the primary member (beam or
column).
![Page 33: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Top and seated angle connections
Generally used in case of moment connections. Two angles are provided at top and bottom of
the beam to resist moment. Generally used for lesser moments where
heavy loads are not acting
![Page 34: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Seated beam connections
Generally used in case of shear connections. A seating angle - at bottom of secondary
beam - shop welded to the primary member. Seating angle resists vertical shear coming
from the beam.
![Page 35: Steel connections](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546772d5af795915118b46e8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
