6.1 Introduction

5

  • Connections of structural steel members are of critical importance. An inadequate connection, which can be the “weak link” in a structure, has been the cause of numerous failures.
  • Failure of structural members is rare; most structural failures are the result of poorly designed or detailed connections. The problem is compounded by the confusion that sometimes exists regarding responsibility for the design of connections. In many cases, the connections are not designed by the same engineer who designs the rest of the structure, but by someone associated with the steel fabricator who furnishes the material for the project.

6.1 Introduction

6

  • Modern steel structures are connected by welding or bolting (either high-strength or “common” bolts) or by a combination of both.
  • But today the widespread use of high-strength bolts has rendered the rivet obsolete in civil engineering structures. There are several reasons for this change. Two relatively unskilled workers can install high-strength bolts, whereas four skilled workers were required for riveting.

6.1 Introduction

7 In addition, the riveting operation was noisy and somewhat dangerous because of the practice of tossing the heated rivet from the point of heating to the point of installation. Riveted connection design is no longer covered by the AISC Specification, but many existing structures contain riveted joints, and the analysis of these connections is required for the strength evaluation and rehabilitation of older structures

6.2 Bolted Connection

8 6.2.1 Shear Failure Before considering the strength of specific grades of bolts, we need to examine the various modes of failure that are possible in connections with fasteners subjected to shear. There are two broad categories of failure: failure of the fastener and failure of the parts being connected.

6.3 Welded Connection

20 Structural welding is a process whereby the parts to be connected are heated and fused, with supplementary molten metal added to the joint. For example, the tension member lap joint shown in figure can be constructed by welding across the ends of both connected parts.
