connection

 Web cleat angle connection
• A web cleat angle connection is used to transfer secondary beam
reaction through web angles to the web of main beam. Normally,
two web cleat angle on either side of the web of secondary beam are
used.

• The two beams may be connected at the same level or different

level. If the beams are connected at the same level, the flange may
be coped or notched, if required. A clearance of 2 to 5 mm is kept
between webs of two beams to provide sufficient end distance.

• The secondary beam reaction is transferred by shear and
bearing from the web of the secondary beam to the web bolts
and to the single cleats. These are then transferred by the cleat
angle to the bolts of the web of main beam.

• The length of the web angle is decided based on the

number of bolts and pitch and is normally not less than 0.6
times the depth of the beam.

 Web and seat angle connection
• The web angle connection may be combined
with seat angle connection,
when the reaction from the beam is heavy.

• The beam reaction is transferred by bearing,

shear and bending of the horizontal leg of the
seat angle and by vertical shear through the
bolt.

• A beam ISLB – 300 is connected to a flange of column ISHB – 300
to transmit end reaction of 150 kN due to factored loads. Design
web angle connections using M 20 bolts and 4.6 grade and steel Fe
410.

Solution :

For ISLB 300,

tw = 6.7 mm
bf = 150 mm
tf = 9.4 mm

For ISHB 300 @ 63.0

kg/m , tw = 9.4 mm
tf = 10.6 mm bf 9
• Shear capacity of bolt ( in single shear ) : IS : 800 , p.75 , cl.10.3.3

Vdsb = ( fu / 3 ) × ( nn . Anb + ns . Asb ) / ϒmb fu = 400 N/mm2

= ( 400 / 3 ) × ( 1 × 245 + 0 ) / 1.25 nn = 1
= 45.26 kN = 245 mm2
Anb

Connection between cleat angle and web of the

beam :
Two ISA on each side of web of beam , Assume cleat angle,
90 × 90 × 8 mm
Shear capacity of bolt in double shear ,
= 2 × 45.26
= 90.52 kN

10
• Bearing capacity of bolt :
= ( 2.5 x kb x d x t x fu ) / γmb
Vdpb
= ( 2.5 × 1 × 20 × 6.7 × 400 ) / 1.25
= 107.20 kN

Bolt value = 90.52 kN ( smaller of shear and bearing

capacity ) No. of bolts required = 150 / 90.52

= 1.65 say 2 no.

Min. pitch p = 2.5 d = 2.5 × 20 = 50 mm

End distance = 1.7 d0 = 1.7 × 22 = 37.4 say 40 mm

11
• Connection between cleat angle and flange of
column :

Shear capacity of bolt ( single shear ) = 45.26

kN Bearing = ( 2.5 x kb x d x t x fu ) / γmb cleat ;

Vdpb capacity of bolt, 8 mm thick
= ( 2.5 × 1 × 20 × 8 × 400 ) / 1.25
= 128.0 kN
Bolt value = 45.26 kN

No. of bolt required = 150 / 45.26 = 3.31 say 4 bolt

Provide two bolt on each angle ,

Length of cleat angle = 1 pitch + 2 × end distance

= 1 × 50
+ 2 × 40
= 130 mm 12
• Check for shear ( for cleat angle ) :

Vd = Av . Fyw / (3 . γ mo )
= ( 2 × 90 × 8 ) × 250 / (3 × 1.10 )
= 188950 N = 188.95 kN ˃
150…………OK.

Check for moment capacity :

B.M. = 150 / 2 ( 50 +

(6.7/2) )
Moment= 4001.25

Primary Beam: A horizontal beam connecting
columns (simply supported or shear connected.)
Function: It will transfer the load from secondary
beam(if present) to the columns.
Secondary Beam: A horizontal beam connecting
primary beams (simply supported or shear
connected.) Function: It will transfer the load to
the primary beam and not directly connected to
the columns.
Remove/Ignore the secondary beams from your
analysis. If they aren't there to take bear major
loads, then remove them completely and
perform your analysis on the primary beams in
isolation. This could potentially be performed by
reducing the Young's modulus of the secondary
beams, to simulate artificially suppress their
effect on displacements of the primary beams as
a result of loading.
Perform nonlinear contact analysis Set gaps
between the primary and secondary beams.
Load the primary beams and set contact
conditions between the two. The secondary
beams will only start bearing load after the
primary beams have deformed and make
contact with the secondary beams.
