EK632
Connections subject to impact or vibration or load reversal (other than that due solely to wind action) should not use bolts in clearance holes.
EK576
Usually angles are connected to gusset plates by bolting or welding only one of the two legs. This leads to eccentric tension in the member, causing non-uniform distribution of stress […]
EK409
Prying action occurs in T-type or butt-type connections with bolts in tension. Bending of the end plate causes the edges of the end plates to bear hard on the mating […]
EK404
With framing systems, consisting of braced frames with rigidly jointed members or unbraced frames (sway frames) with flexibly jointed members, or unbraced (sway) frames with rigidly jointed members, or frames […]
EK403
Framing system which consists of braced frames or trusses with pin-jointed members with rotationally free connections using actual pin connections can be analyzed by simple, first-order analysis as long as […]
EK177
The overall behavior of a precast structure depends to a large extent on the behavior of connections. Apart from the design of force transfer between individual units, there should also […]
EK85
The steel sheeting can also be utilized as a structural element itself. Correct detailing of connections between individual cladding sheets (and their connections to the support steelwork) will induce a […]
EK64
Two failure modes can be identified for hanger-type connections: formation of plastic hinges in the tee flange or angle leg at cross-sections 1 and 2, and tensile failure of the […]
EK54
Cold worked steel members are more affected by increased temperature. Connections should be checked for thread stripping and general soundness. An approximate guide is that connections heated to 450 degrees […]
EK11
When welded or riveted connections are used to join structural members, assume that the connection is a pin joint if the centerlines of the members are concurrent at the joint.
