Connections in the steel industry are vital. They provide the ability to fabricate steel sub-assemblies of a building in a controlled environment, then erect the fabricated assemblies at the building site. This can provide benefits in the cost, quality and schedule of the building process.
There are several types of steel connections. The main components of a steel connection are the connecting elements (such as shear plates, gusset plates, stiffeners, etc.), connected elements (such as webs and flanges of supporting member or supported member) and a connection mechanism, such as bolts, welds, rivets, etc.
This course is part of a course series related to the design of connections. All courses in the series are independent, and do not require any prerequisites. The following is the list of the courses in the series:
- Design of Structural Welds
- Design of Structural Bolts
- Design of Structural Connection Elements
This course, Design of Bolts, involves a study on the design of bolts according to AISC Construction Manual 14th edition-Parts 7, 8 &9, and also AISC360-10-Chapter J. All equations in the course are presented using ASD and LRFD methods.
