TITLE OF THE PROJECT

SIMPLE CONNECTIONS
IN STEEL FRAMED
STRUCTURES
 INTRODUCTION

THIS PROJECT AIMS TO PROVIDE ESSENTIAL GUIDANCE

FOR STRUCTURAL STEELWORK CONNECTIONS FOR USE
IN BUILDINGS . IT WILL BE EXPLICITLY BASED ON THE
IS 800:2007 (LIMIT STATES APPROACH) .

DESIGN PROCEDURES WILL BE PROVIDED FOR :

BEAM TO BEAM AND BEAM TO COLUMN CONNECTIONS
COLUMN SPLICES
COLUMN BASES
BRACING CONNECTIONS
SPECIAL CONNECTIONS

 PROJECT OUTCOME

Provides procedures for designing joints in steel –framed

structures in accordance with IS 800:2007.
This publication is intended to provide guidance for nominally
pinned joints that primarily carry vertical shear.
Worked examples illustrating the design procedures and the
use of resistance tables are included.
The procedure commences with the detailing requirements
(joint geometry),then present the checks for each stage of the
load transfer through the connection including welds ,
plates ,bolts and the section webs or flanges as appropriate.
