Connections• needed to:
– support beams by columns– connect truss members– splice beams or columns
• transfer load• subjected to
– tension or compression– shear– bending
Connections 3Lecture 26

Bolts• bolted steel connections
Connections 4Lecture 26

Welds• welded steel connections

Fasteners• wood connections

Bolted Connection Design• considerations
– bearing stress• yielding
– shear stress• single & double
– member• rupture
Connections 7Lecture 26

Bolted Connection Design• ASD steel
– shear:
• bolt strengths• single & double
– bolt types• A325-SC, A490-SC• A325-N, A490-N• A325-X, A490-X

Bolted Connection Design• ASD steel
– bearing:• bolts rarely
fail by bearing• other part fails first
Connections 9Lecture 26

Tension Members• steel members can have holes• reduced area• increased stress
Connections 10Lecture 26

F2007abn
Effective Net Area• likely path to “rip” across• bolts divide transferred force too
Connections 11Lecture 26

F2007abn
ASD – Tension Members• non-pin connected members:
– Ft = 0.60Fy on gross area– Ft = 0.50Fu on net area
• pin connected members: – Ft = 0.45Fy on net area
• threaded rods of approved steel: – Ft = 0.33Fu on major diameter – (for static loading only)

Welded Connection Design• considerations
– shear stress– yielding– rupture
Connections 14Lecture 26

Welded Connection Design• weld terms
– butt weld– fillet weld– plug weld– throat
• weld materials– E60XX– E70XX
FEXX = 70 ksi
Connections 15Lecture 26

F2007abn
Welded Connection Design• ASD
– shear• Fv = 0.30Fweld
– throat• T =0.707 x weld size
– area• A = T x length of weld
– weld metal generally stronger than base metal (ex. Fy = 50 ksi)

– bolted– welded

Framed Beam Connections• tables for
standard bolt holes & spacings
• n = # bolts• angle leg
thickness• length needed
Connections 19Lecture 26

Beam Connections• LRFD provisions
– shear yielding– shear rupture– block shear rupture– tension yielding– tension rupture– local web buckling– lateral torsional buckling
