Beam to Column Shear Connection
Introduction Beam-to-column shear connections are among the most frequently used steel connections in industrial buildings, commercial structures, warehouses, and multi-storey buildings. Their primary purpose is to transfer shear force (Fv) from the supported beam to the supporting member while allowing the beam ends to rotate. The figure above illustrates the recommended design procedures for single… Read more
