DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES

Design of Bolted Connections
 1- Types of connections

Bolted Connection Welded Connection

2- Stresses of connections
3- Clearanceinholes

For simplicity we can use 2 mm clearance

4- Minimum and maximum pitch
5- Arrangement of bolts
6- Shear connections
Design of beam column
General steps of design of beams

1- Calculate design force (RD)

2- Calculate shear strength for bolt (∅𝑅𝑛𝑣)
3- Calculate bearing failure strength of plates (∅𝑅𝑏𝑟)
4- No. of bolts = 𝑅𝐷/ 𝑅 Where (R) the smallest of (∅𝑅𝑛𝑣) , (∅𝑅𝑏𝑟)
