Advance Design Steel Connection o ers a wide variety of steel joints that can be calculated according to the
EC3 norm, in a fast way, e ciently covering many of the situations that can occur in the steel joint
calculation.
The joint library from Advance Design Steel Calculations is divided into 4 categories according to the
connection type or the connected elements structural function.
I. The rst category is Beam to Beam and it contains the following

joints:
↑
I.1. Apex single haunch
I.2. Clip angle
I.3. Clip angle – Skewed
I.4. Double side clip angle

I.5. Moment end plate

I.6. Shear plate
I.7. Single side end plate Select Country
II. The second category is Beam to Column and contains:
II.1. Clip Angle

II.2. Clip Angle – Skewed
II.3. Double Side Clip Angle
II.4. Knee of frame bolted, with haunch
II.5. Moment End Plate
II.6. Shear Plate
II.7. Single Side End Plate
III. The third category is Base Plate and contains:
III.1. Base plate

III.2. Base plate cut
III.3. Tube base plate
IV. The fourth category is Bracings, and contains:
IV.1. Gusset plate at one diagonal

IV.2. Gusset plate for 2 diagonals
IV.3. Gusset plate for 3 diagonals
Select Country
In the following section, each category is detailed and for each joint, a speci c example is provided
I. Beam to Beam category
I.1. "Apex Single Haunch" - usually this connection is used for roof beams. (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1 Apex Single Haunch joint from the Beam to Beam category
I.2. "Clip Angle" - Usually this joint is between a primary beam and a secondary beam. The connection
between the two beams is made through one or two angles.
"Clip Angle" joint is used when the secondary beam is perpendicular to the main beam.
Fig. 2 Clip Angle joint from the Beam to Beam category
I.3. "Clip Angle Skewed" - This joint is similar to the second one, the di erence being that the secondary
beam is not necessarily perpendicular to the main beam. In this joint the connection between the two
beams is not made through bolted angles, it is made through angled plates. The secondary beam can be
in the main beam's plane (Fig.3), or not (Fig. 4).
Fig. 3 Clip Angle Skewed joint from the Beam to Beam category with the secondary beam in the same plane
as the main beam
Select Country
Fig. 4 Clip Angle Skewed joint from the Beam to Beam category with the secondary beam in a di erent plane
than the main beam
I.4. "Double Side Clip Angle" - This joint is created between a main beam and two perpendicular
secondary beams on opposite sides. The connection between the beams is made through bolted angles.
Both secondary beams are connected to the main beam by the same bolts.
Fig. 5 Double Side Clip Angle joint from the Beam to Beam category
I.5. "Moment End Plate" - This joint is made by welding a steel plate perpendicular to the secondary beam
end that is bolted on the main beam ange or web (Fig.6).
Fig. 6 Moment End Plate joint from the Beam to Beam category
I.6. "Shear Plate" - This joint is made by a steel plate welded perpendicular to the main beam web and
bolted along the secondary beam web.
Fig. 7 Shear Plate joint from the Beam to Beam category
I.7. "Single Side End Plate" - This joint is very similar to the "Moment end Plate", the big di erence
between the two joints is that the "Single Side End Plate" is not able to handle the bending moment

from the secondary beam. This joint is calculated like an articulation.
Fig. 8 Single Side End Plate joint from the Beam to Beam category
II. The second category is "Beam to Column"
II.1. "Clip Angle" - Just like in the case of the second joint from the rst category, the beam is connected
to the column by angles (Fig. 10)
Fig. 9 Clip Angle joint from the Beam to Column category
II.2. "Clip Angle Skewed" - The second joint from this category is similar to the rst one, the only
di erence being that this one does not require the perpendicularity between the connected elements.
Fig. 10 Clip Angle Skewed joint from the Beam to Column category
II.3. "Double Side Clip Angle" - This connection is similar to the one with the same name from the rst
category, only with this one the beams are connected to the column, and not to the main beam (Fig. 11).
Select Country
Fig. 11 Double Side Clip Angle joint from the Beam to Column category
II.4. "Knee of Frame, with haunch" - In this joint the beam has a welded haunch and an end plate bolted to
the column (Fig. 12).
Fig. 12 Knee of Frame, with haunch joint from the Beam to Column category
II.5. "Moment End Plate" - This joint is very similar to the fourth one except the connected beam does not
have the welded haunch.
Fig. 13 Moment End Plate joint from the Beam to Column category
II.6. "Shear plate" - This joint is identical to the similar one from the rst category, the only di erence
being the support element; in this case the support element is a column (Fig. 13).
Select Country
Fig. 14 Shear Plate joint from the Beam to Column category
II.7. "Single Side End plate" - This joint is very similar to the "Moment end Plate", the big di erence
between the two joints is that the "Single Side End Plate" is not able to handle the bending moment
from the secondary beam. This joint is calculated like an articulation.
Fig. 15 Single Side End Plate joint from the Beam to Column category
III. The third category is "Base Plates"
III.1. "Base Plate" - This joint is created by welding a steel plate to the bottom end of the column that is
connected to the foundations through bolts or anchors. The joint can include several reinforcement
plates, shim plate or shear anchor.
Select Country
Fig. 16 Base Plate joint from the Base Plate category
III.2. "Base Plate Cut" - For this connection the bottom end of the column must be adjusted (Fig.17).
Fig. 17 Base Plate Cut joint from the Base Plate category
III.3. "Tube Base Plate" - This is a connection for the columns that have a round or rectangular section.
Select Country
Fig. 18 Tube Base Plate joint from the Base Plate category
IV. The last connection category is "Bracings".
IV.1. "Gusset Plate at One Diagonal" - The joint is created using a gusset welded to the beam or column
and bolted or welded to the bracing (Fig. 19).
Fig. 19 Gusset Plate at One Diagonal joint from the Bracings category
IV.2. "Gusset Plate for 2 Diagonals" - a similar joint that connects two bracings using the same gusset (Fig.
20).
Fig. 20 Gusset Plate at 2 Diagonals joint from the Bracings category
IV.3. "Gusset Plate for 3 Diagonals" - This joint connects three bracings using the same gusset (Fig. 21).
