Steel Connection Design

The document is notes from a structural steel and timber design course covering connections. It includes topics on bolted and welded connections based on Eurocode standards. For bolted connections, it discusses bolt classes, categories for shear and tension loading, and design resistance calculations for shear, bearing and slip critical joints. For welded connections, it addresses fillet weld design using the directional and simplified methods, weld types, and design of butt welds and unwelded flanges. Examples of structural connections are also provided.

Bolted connection loaded in shear should be designed as:
Category A: Bearing type
Category B: Slip-resistant at serviceability limit state
Category C: Slip-resistant at ultimate limit state

Bolted connection loaded in tension:


Category D: non-preloaded
Category E: preloaded

WELDED CONNECTIONS
When using metal arc welding, the
mechanical proper,es of weld metal
should be compa,ble with the parent
metal
The material thickness should be at
least 4 mm
Welds are classied as llet welds, bu^
welds, plug welds and are groove
welds
For a llet welds, the throat thickness, a
is dened as below:

Design Resistance of Fillet Weld


Directional method

The internal force is resolved into normal stresses


and shear stresses on the critical plane of the weld
throat.
The design resistance is sufficient if both
conditions below are satisfied:

Simplied method

Independent of the orienta,on of the weld throat plane
to the applied force, the design resistance per unit
