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

Splice Details for Angles
Steel angle sections are one of the most commonly used structural members in industrial buildings, transmission towers, trusses, pipe racks, conveyors, platforms, staircases, and PEB (Pre-Engineered Buildings). When the available member length is insufficient or transportation limitations exist, splice connections are provided to safely transfer axial forces between two angle members. The drawing shown above… Read more
