This Connection Series, Part 1 details the method of design and provides capacity tables and detailing parameters for a range of simple connections commonly used for structural steel in Australia. Connections have a major engineering and economic importance in steel structures influencing design, detailing, fabrication and erection costs. Standardisation of design approach integrated with industry detailing is the key to minimum costs at each stage. This Connections Series, Part 1 in conjunction with the future Connection Series, Part 2 for rigid connections (collectively the Structural Steel Connections Series or “Connection Series") replaces and enhances an ASI flagship publication first released in 1978 at which time connection design theories were developed for the purpose of generating and releasing connection capacity tables. The first throe editions wore released in permissible stress format. The fourth edition Design of Structural Connections (often referred to as the Green Book) was released in 1994 in limit state format but there was no subsequent release of a limit state companion document containing connection design capacity tables. Design Guide 5 covers the single and double angle cleat (AC) connection and references Handbook 1, Design of structural steel! connections which is the hub of a new Connection Series expanding and revising the elemental connection theory contained in previous editions of Design of Structural Connections. This allows the single and double angle cleat connection model to remain concise and practical for efficient design assessment. The presentation of the connection model follows a stylised calculation page format with a numbered DESIGN CHECK procedure to simplify the design capacity assessment. This robust connection is returning to favour due to the growth of efficient computer numeric control fabricetion processes. The most significant upgrades in reviewing and consolidating the previous AC design model are the detailing limitations, refinement of block shear assessments and rotation checks. Improvements have been made to local stability of coped beams and local capacity of the supporting member checks. Design Guide 5 includes standardised detailing and design capacity tables for the single and double angle cleat connection designed using the design model in this Guide. The design capacity tables have been rigorously checked firstly by hand calculation, then by spreadsheet and also using the Limcon software for consistency and validity. An ASI connections survey revealed that practising engineers in designing common connections firstly consult their design capacity tables, then if required, follow with hand calculations, spreadsheet formulation and finally detailed computer assessments. Special surveys of the Australian steel industry provided best practice for component and dimensional siandardisation. The results tabulated for each single and double angle cleat configuration are only for the dimensional and geometrical limitations and design actions specified. Any additional loads, load combinations, geometry arrangement beyond the limits specified must be undertaken by a competent professional person and supported by engineering research, theory or principles. The new Connections Series format with separate design guides for individual connection types is intended to facilitate addition to or revision of connection model theory using relevant new local or international research as deemed appropriate by the ASI. Connection models developed using the Handbook 1 theory follow a stylised page format with a numbered DESIGN CHECK procedure to simplify connection capacity assessment. Engineering Systems has worked closely with the Australian Stee! Institute to further develop Limcon as the companion program for this new Connection Design Guide series. The latest version of Limcon fully implements the new connection design models and it was employed in checking the design tables. The Limcon output for one or more of the worked examples is included in an appendix to each Design Guide. The program is an efficient tool covering the full range of structural connections, including those beyond the scope of the Design Guide capacity tables. ‘An apperdix to each Design Guide also contains an ASI comment form.

Background The ASI was formed in 2002 through the merger of Australian Institute of Stee! Construction (AISC) and Steel Institute of Australia (SIA). The former AISC published a design manual giving guidance on the design of structural connections in steel (Ref. 2). ASI is updating Reference 2 by way of the Connection Series including design guides dealing with connection parts and individual connection types. The overall series of Connections Publications will be known as the Connections Series. The former AISC also published a manual containing standardised detailing for simple connections, accompanied by load tables (Ref. 3). Wherever possible each design guide for individual connection types contains standardised detailing and design capacity tables for the connection type covered by that design guide derived using the design models in that design guide. The Connection Series is a specialist series devoted to the design of connections in structural steel in accordance with current Australian Standard AS 4100 (Ref 1.), reflecting the current state of knowledge of connection behaviour from test results. In some instances, the test evidence is sparse and in other instances the evidence is contradictory or clouded. Each design guide in the Connection Series has been written by weighing the evidence to provide recommended design procedures based in part on the design procedures used in equivalent manuals and/or published papers. This Guide is intended to provide a design model for the angle cleat connection (AC) which gives a realistic estimate of connection design capacity and considerable effort has been expended in researching and developing a simplo, yet satisfactory design model which can be ustified on the basis of the available research and current design practice. It is to be emphasised that for this connection, the design model presented is not the only possible model—merely the most representative of the behaviour of an individual connection in the opinion of the ASI. It is therefore not intended to suggest that other models may not result in adequate connection capacity and further reference is made to the Disclaimer on page li of this publication as to the required investigation and verification by a competent professional person or persons in regards to the accuracy, suitability and applicability of the materials provided in this Connections Series. The connection dealt with in this Guide is the single or double angle cleat connection, also known as single or double angle web cleat connection. The angle cleat connection is used as a simple connection in terms of AS 4100 for steel beam ‘0 steel beam or steel column connections. rs design guide oO: angle cleat connections, frst edition 2 DESCRIPTION OF CONNECTION The angle cleat connection consists of either a single angle bolted to a supported member web or two angles bolted each side of a supported member web. The angle or angles are in tun bolted to the supporting member (refer to Figure 1 for typical examples of the connection) The supported member may require to have the flange and/or the web to be coped in order to enable the connection to be effected (refer to Figure 1). Features cf the connection are: — The component is a standard angle, grade 300 (one or two angles). — The bolting category normally used is 8.8/. —The component does not extend to the bottom flange of the supported beam in order to ensure that the beam can rotate without touching the supporting member. — The connection can only be used to hollow section columns if studs or special bolts are used. Such studs or bolts are not considered in this Design Guide (refer Design Guide 1). Flange and web coped as required FIGURE 1 TYPICAL SINGLE AND DOUBLE ANGLE CLEAT CONNECTIONS.

The ‘component is usually cropped or oxy-cut to length and the holes are usually punched. Limitations in AS 4100 Section 14 (Ref. 1) apply to these operations. ‘Skew and raking beams cannot be accommodated. Bolt holes are 2 mm larger than the nominal bolt diameter. Slotted or oversize holes are not used because AS 4100 requires the use of either bolting category 8.8/TF or 8,8/TB for such hole types. In connections to column webs, the beam flange may also need to be coped (removed) to allow the connection to be effected (Figure 8) Fabrication of this type of connection requires close control in cutting the beam ‘o length and adequate consideration must be given to squaring the beam ends such that both angle cleats are parallel and the effect of beam camber does not result in out-cf-square angle cleats which makes erection and field fit-up difficult. The use of this connection for two-sided beam-to-beam connections should be considered carefully. Installation of bolts in the supporting member can cause difficulties in this case. When unequal sized beams are used, special coping of the bottom flange of the smaller beams may be required to prevent it fouling the bolts (Figure 9). Since the angle cleat is intended to behave flexibly, damage of the cleat during transport is not normally of concern and may be rectified on site. The connection has some facility for site adjustment during erection. In a run of teams, a slightly shorter beam may be detailed and supplied with packs of varying thickness in order to take up any accumulation of tolerances. For coped beams, the top of the end plate and the bottom of the top flange cope cut should coincide. Check angle cleat component width to ensure that it will fit between fillets of column section when connecting to column web (Figure 8). In connections to column webs, a check must be made on the length of bolt to be used to ensure sufficient clearance is available between the angle cleat and the inside of the column flange, to permit the bolts to be installed (Figure 8). Erection clearances must be especially considered because of the necessity to angle beams into place during erection. This consideration is most important for the case of a series of beams in the one row, all connected between the same main supporting members. If beams of different web thickness are connected to opposite sides of a supporting member web (column or beam), the difference in web thickness must be kept to 2 mm to allow the bolt gauge to be set to suit both supported member webs. The bolt gauge for double angle cleat connections is usually set at around 140 mm with Sg Set at 65 mm. This will accommodate web thicknesses from 6 mm to 14mm, which caters for most rolled section supported members. The angle cleat is a good connection in terms of its facility for site adjustment. The two sets of bolts are both placed in clearance holes allowing slight adjustment in two directions before the bolts are tightened. In addition to this, packs can be placed between the cleats and the supported member if required. With two sided connections that share a common set of bolts, the shop bolts (or site bolts) should be placed with heads in opposite directions in the webs of the connecting pair of beams and the site bolls placed as shown in Figure 10. In some cases, it may be necessary to place the nut over the hole and turn the bolt into the nut. design guide 5 5 angle clea! conoctons rst eon wo Min, 10 mm radius at corners FIGURE 8 COPING BEAM FLANGE(S) FOR COLUMN WEB CONNECTION ‘Supporting beam ‘Supported beam Flange notched out to clear bolts from cleat on other side FIGURE 9 COPING BEAM BOTTOM FLANGE TO CLEAR BOLTS {after Ref. 5) Bolt heads: Note positions of bolt heads Bolt heads FIGURE 10 TYPICAL BOLT PLACEMENT (after Ref. 5) design guide 5 angle cleat connections, first edition Ww 5 COMPLIANCE WITH AS 4100 REQUIREMENTS FOR CONNECTIONS The angle cleat is notionally a FLEXIBLE CONNECTION within the terms of AS 4100, which is discussed in Section 2.2 of Handbook 1 of this Publication. The requirements for any design model are specified in Clause 9.1.3 of AS 4100 (Ref. 1) which ie discussed in Section 2.3 of Handbook 4 The ductility necessary in the angle cleat connection is provided by the following factors: — deformation of the bolts along their axis; — deformation of the angle cleat by flexing out of plane, pulling in towards the beam and local deformation of the cleat around the bolt (Figure 11); — slippage of the cleat horizontally as the plate deforms, It is considered that the available testing data indicate that sufficient ductility is present from ‘these sources for the angle cleat connection to qualify as suitable for simple construction terms ‘of the requirements of AS 4100, provided that all the requirements of this design mode!— particularly the limitation on supported member rotation and the geometrical limitations ‘specified—are complied with 2 Rotation 4 4 As erected Under load FIGURE 11 DEFORMATION OF THE ANGLE CLEAT (after Ref. 4) PY design guide 5 fw? angle cleat connections, first edition 6 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Research information The following list of references relate to the testing of the angle cleat connection. The reported behaviour and design recommendations contained in these references were considered in formulating the design model used in this Design Guide. —Pram and Mansell (Refs. 6, 7) —Kulak, Fisher and Struik (Ref. 8) —Munse et al (Refs. 9, 10) —Lipson (Refs. 11, 12) Testing of angle cleat connections has been conducted by Munse et al (Refs. 9, 10) and Lipson (Refs. 11, 12). Kulak, Fisher and Struik have summarised this and other work in Reference 8, commenting that ‘experiments have indicated that most of the rotation of the connection comes from the deformation of the angles: fastener deformations play only a minor role. To minimise rotational ‘esistance, the thickness of the angle should be kept to a minimum and a relatively large gauge provided.” Kulak, Fisher and Struik (Ref. 8) comment that ‘most web angle connections are checked only for their shear-carrying capacity, that is, the relatively small amount of moment present is neglected ... Fasteners are assumed to be subject to shear forces only; the tensile forces introduced by deformation of the angles ... are neglected. However, the effect of shear forces acting eccentrically should be included unless distances are small.” The testing by Munse et al and Lipson generally supports the design model recommended, Australian testing of this connection has been reported in Refs. 6 and 7. In these tests, the langle cleat connections were tested in pure shear at the support face. In Ref. 6 it was reported thal the angle cleat distorted appreciably and local distortion occurred around the bolt holes and it was noted that the connection possesses sufficient ductility to justify the type of design model presented herein In Ref. 7, considerable elongation of the bolt holes was also observed with a failure through tear-out at the bottom bolt being reported in two cases (both with end distances in the beam web of 1.50 x bolt diameter) highlighting the importance of the design procedure in the recommended design model to guard against this occurrence. € design guide 5 i angle cleat connections, first edition 7 BASIS OF DESIGN MODEL— DOUBLE ANGLE CLEATS Double angle cleats The recommended design model in this Design Guide treats the angle cleats as an extension of the supported beam web. The American Institute of Steel Construction (Ref. 5) and the British Steel Construction Institute (Ref. 4) adopt a similar design model, with similar assumptions to the recommended design model. The design capacity of the bolt group connecting the angle cleats to the supporting member is based on the assumption that the bolts are loaded in vertical shear only. The design expression 's based on Section 3.6 of Handbook 1 The design capacity of the bolt group connecting the angle cleats to the supported member is based on the assumption that the bolt group is subject to eccentric shear force actirg at the face of the supporting member. The design expression is based on Section 3.9 of Handbook 1, and involves consideration of the following {i) the bolt group being loaded in eccentric shear with the design capacity being derived using the method of Section 3.9 of Handbook 1, this design capacity being limited by the bolt shear capacity, bearing on the component and on the supported member web (even though hole distortion is an inherent part of providing rotational ductility in the connection). iii) end plate tear-out at the most heavily loaded bolt being checked using the component of force in the vertical direction with any end distances (including holes) in the vertical direction and the component of force in the horizonial direction with any end distances in the horizontal direction. The expressions on which the design capacity are based are also derived in Section 3.9 of Handbook 1 The expressions for the design capacities of the angle cleat component in shear and under moment are taken directly from the expressions given in Section 5.4 of Handbook 1, the latter being derived from the design moment capacity (}M,)) divided by the eccentricity (0). Likewise, the expression for the design capacity in block shear is taken from Section 5.4 of Handbook 1 The design capacity of the supported member in shear and in bending for coped supported members use the expressions derived in Section 6.2 to 6.6 of Handbook 1, again assuming that the end reaction acts at the face of the supporting member. The design capacity in block shear is intended to guard against the possibility of that type of failure in the web of a coped supported member. This phenomenon is discussed in detail in Section 6.9 of Handbook 1 In Reference 13, Carrato has compared Australian (Ref. 2) and American (Ref. 14) design methods. He observed that the Australian method gave a lower design capacity and noted that this is primarily due to consideration of horizontal tear-out in the web of the supported member in the Australian design method. Carrato considers such tear-oul as ‘highly unlikely’ for five ferent reasons. The other minor differences between the two design methods noted by Carrato are considered by him not to influence ‘the final design of the connection’. Since the bolts in the supported member web arc considered to be eccentrically loaded in the recommended design model of Reference 2 and this Design Guide, a horizontal component of force is applied to the bolts. AS 4100 requires that tear-out be considered in such a cese. The basis of the recommended design model in this Design Guide is consequently identical to that in Reference 2, and is consistent with that for the web side plate connection in this respect as contained in Handbook 1 & design guide 5 Hs angle cleat connections, first edition 8 BASIS OF DESIGN MODEL— SINGLE ANGLE CLEAT Single angle cleat The recommended design model in this Design Guide treats the angle cleat as an extension of the supported beam web. The American Institute of Stee! Construction (Ref. 5) adopts a similar design model, with similar assumptions to the recommended design model. The British Steel Construction Institute (Ref. 4) does not have a design model for a single angle cleat The design capacity of the bolt group connecting the angle cleat to the supporting member is based on the assumption that the bolts are loaded in eccentric shear force. The design expression is based on Section 3.9 of Handbook 1 for an eccentricity equal to the distance between the centre of the supported member web and the centre of the bolt group. The design capacity of the bolt group connecting the angle cleat to the supported member is based on the assumption that the bolt group is subject to eccentric shear force acting at the face of the supporting member. The design expression is based on Section 3.9 of Handbook 1 The design expressions for both bolt groups involves consideration of the following: (i) the bolt group being loaded in eccentric shear with the design capacity being derived using the method of Section 3.9 of Handbook 1, this design capacity being limited by the bolt shear capacity, bearing on the component and on the supported member web (even though hole distortion is an inherent part of providing rotational ductility in the connection). (ii) end plate tear-out at the most heavily loaded bolt being checked using the component of force in the vertical direction with any end distances (including holes) in the vertical direction and the component of force in the horizontal direction with any end distance in the horizontal direction. The expressions on which the design capacity are based are also derived in Section 3.9 of Handbook 1 The expressions for the design capacities of the angle cleat component in shear and under moment are taken directly from the expressions given in Section 5.4 of Handbook 1, the latter being derived from the design moment capacity (My) divided by the eccentricity (e). Likewise, the expression for the design capacity in block shear is taken from Section 5.4 of Handbook 1 The design capacity of the supported member in shear and in bending for coped supported members use the expressions derived in Section 6.2 to 6.6 of Handbook 1, again assuming that the end reaction acts al the face of the supporling member. The design capacity in block shear is intended to guard against the possibility of that type of failure in the web of a coped supported member. This phenomenon is discussed in detail in Section 6.9 of Handbook 1 e design guide § a «© angle cleat connections, first edition 9 CONNECTION GEOMETRY Angle components are assumed to be oriented such that: one leg of the angle cleat component (leg a) Is attached to the supporting member through bolt group a: {b) the other leg of the angle cleat component (leg f) is attached to the beam web through bolt group B. fa) Sy NOTE: mg total umber = connection nto Ht Beg 17, ~ Double angle cleats - n= 4n, 7 fb aah B leg ‘8 # leg z . bots van f bot rows aire, | ep \ t rp bots 1B Feo a | tHe. @ leg- eof Fes} ‘a leg? & fs Pay n,, = Single angle cleats - ,=3n, i Face of suppor [—Fece of support [Face of support he Su ie, Fe, be | f 1 | sf beet a cA ee ot Bet o4 Uncoped beam ‘SWC coped beam DWC coped bear FIGURE 12 CONNECTION GEOMETRY 1" o design guide 5 w angle cleat connections, first edition 10 RECOMMENDED DESIGN MODEL—DOUBLE ANGLE CLEATS—SUMMARY OF CHECKS Design is based on determining Vises, the design capacity of the connection, which is the minimum of the design capacities Vs, Vo, Ve.

Coping of beam ends may reduce the elastic critical buckling moment of a laterally unsupported flexural member. In AS 4100, no specific guidance is given about the effect of web coping on the buckling capacity of a laterally unrestrained coped beam, but it would be prudent to either perform a buckling analysis (permitted by Clause 5.6.4) or assume only partial restraint at the coped end when calculating the twist restraint factor (k,) and the lateral restraint factor (kz) when using Clause 5.6.3. A k, value of 1.0 should always be used for supported members connected by angle cleats only, whether the members are coped or uncoped due to the lack of restraint to the top flange. ‘Some references relevant to this matter are discussed in Section 6.8 of Handbook 1 Specific guidance is available in Ref. 4. design guide § 36 ‘angle cleat connections, first edition wo 13 13 14 REFERENCES STANDARDS AUSTRALIA, AS 4100—1998 ‘Stee! structures’ AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION, ‘Design of structural connections’, 4" edition, Authors Hogan, T.J. and Thomas, |.R., Editor Syam, A.A, 1994 AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION, ‘Standardized structural connections’, 3" edition, 1985.

Limcon undertakes all DESIGN CHECKS set out in the ASI design model and lists the capacity and capacity ratio for each limit state. A detail diagram is included at the beginning of the Limcon output. A virtual reality image of the connection can be displayed on the computer screen to facilitate checking NOTE: To express the result of each limit state check Limon uses the capacity ratio. This ie the ratio of the design capacity to the design action effect and the minimum capacity ratio for all limit states must not be less than 1.0. ‘1.2 DESIGN CHECKS No. 2 and 3—Bolts In addition to using the special formulae derived in Handbook 1 for each particular type of bolt group, Limcon applies @ generalised procedure independently for the cleat and the connected part. This procedure checks bearing and tearing explicitly for each bolt with the result displayed only for the critical bolt, which is identified by row and column number. 1.3 DESIGN CHECK No. 7—Coped beam bending Limcon reports the estimated maximum permissible cope length. This is the length of cope at which the coped beam bending check becomes critical, other limit states not being considered. 1.4 DESIGN CHECK No. 8—Beam rotation If a non-zero span has been entered, Limcon computes the beam end rotation and the end rotation at contact, assuming that the design shear is due to a uniformly distributed load. The contact rotation capacity is the shear corresponding to the end rotation at contact, 1.5 DESIGN CHECK No. 9—Coped beam buckling Although not required in the ASI design model, a check on the local buckling capacity of coped beams is reported in the Limcon output. The estimated maximum permissible cope length based on the coped section buckling check is reported. design guide § 38 e o angle cleat connections, frst edition APPENDIX A.
