Steel Connection Pinned r2

This document summarizes the design of a simple pinned steel connection according to BS5950-2000. It specifies the connection parameters such as bolt diameter and grade, plate grades and thicknesses. It then calculates the design capacities for bolt shear, tension and bearing as well as plate bearing capacities. Forces acting on the joint from different load cases are presented and the critical case is identified. Finally, the forces are checked against the capacities to ensure the connection design is adequate.
