INTRODUCTION
Design of connections for steel structures is one of the grey area in the industry. The practice varies from consultant to consultant to a great extent and there are number of ambiguities in the connection design. In India, IS 800:2007 was published before ~15 years and section 10 is included for the connection design. The important areas for the connection design are mentioned briefly in the section 10. However, in absence of the detailed practical handbook, there are number of doubts/ambiguities related to the connection design as per the Indian Standard. Also, there is a possibility of missing out on the important limit states while performing the connection design. The online course STEEL-STR-006 is launched with an aim of increasing the confidence level of engineers related to the connection design and to enable them for developing their own means for the connection design.
The area of connection design is comprehensively covered in EUROCODE 3. Hence, in the course, we will initiate the discussions related to fundamentals & concepts for the connection design based on EUROCODE-3. Thereafter, we will discuss in detail, the connection design as per AISC 360-22. Seismic design requirements for connection design will be discussed as per AISC 358-16. Finally, we will take up the connection design as per IS 800:2007. For more details related to content of the course, please download brochure of the course: Click here
We will discuss design of different types of bolted connections, welded connections, connections for tubular sections, etc. The important limit states for connection design will be covered such as flange bending, block shear, bearing failure, shear failure, web yielding, web crippling, web panel zone shear, web compression buckling, requirements for seismic design, etc. along with the diagrams and worked out examples. For more details related to content of the course, please refer schedule towards end of the document.
We will discuss the connection design along with worked out examples and software RAM connection. It doesn’t matter if you do not have access to the software since the software will be used only for performing the quick calculations for the connection design and to demonstrate the effects of important parameters in the connection design.
For design of connections, generally, a mix approach of Manual calculations + In house developed spreadsheets + Software is preferred. After the course, the participants will have better understanding of the fundamentals and concepts related to the connection design so that they can take the appropriate decisions and utilize engineering judgement, in case of the ambiguities.
