Design of steel structure as per is 800(2007)

Types of connections
Based on the rigidity of the joint
1. Simple or flexible
• It does not offer
resistance against
rotation and also termed
as a hinged or pinned
connections.
• It transfers only axial or
shear forces and it is not
designed for moment
• It is generally connected
by single bolt/rivet and
therefore full rotation is
allowed
3. Semi-rigid
• Designed in such a
way that it offers
resistance against
rotation but less than
rigid connections
• Along with axial or
shear forces it partially
transfers moment.
• The rotations are
allowed but the
magnitude is less than
the rigid connections
2. Rigid or moment
resisting
• Designed in such a way that
it offers resistance against
rotation and also termed as
a moment resisting
connections.
• Along with axial or shear
forces it transfers moment.
• It is generally connected by
multiple bolts/rivets and
therefore rotation is not
allowed.
Note: In actual practice, connections are neither simple nor perfectly rigid,
but they can be idealized as simple, rigid and semi-rigid.

Types of connections
Based on the internal forces transferred
2. Axially loaded
connections
•These are assumed to
be hinged
•Ideally, members
should be connected by
one bolt.
•If, connected by two or
more bolts or welds,
results in to the
development of small
partial fixity which can
be ignored.
3. Eccentrically loaded
connections:
I. Connections in which
moment acting in the plane
of joint (i.e. joint subjected to
shear force and torsional
moment)
II. Connections in which
moment acting perpendicular
to the plane of joint (i.e. joint
subjected to shear force and
bending moment)
1. Beam end connections:
I. Framed connections:
Web of the beam is
connected directly to
the column or another
beam
II. Seated connections:
a) Stiffened
b) Unstiffened
flange of the beam is
connected to column
with the help of seating
arrangement

Bolted Bracket Connections Type 2

Welded Bracket Connections Type 1

Welded Bracket Connections Type 2

• Designed more conservatively than members because they are
more complex to analyse and discrepancy between analysis and
design is large
• In case of overloading, failure in member is preferred to
failure in connection
• Connections account for more than half the cost of structural
steel work
• Connection design has influence over member design
• Similar to members, connections are also classified as idealised
types effected through rivets, bolts or weld
• Codal Provisions
Design considerations for connections

Types of Fasteners
Rivets:
• Use of rivets is becoming obsolete as it requires preheating, skilled
supervision, more labour and riveting equipment.
• Therefore, emphasis is given on design of bolts and design of rivets
is similar to design of bolts.

Bolts
Black Bolts: (IS:1363 -Part 1, 2 and 3, – 2002)
• made up of mild steel bars with square of hexagonal
head
• commonly used and less expensive.
• commonly used for light structures
• not recommended for connections subjected to
impact, fatigue and dynamic loads.
Types of Fasteners
Strength of black bolt
Bolt Grade: Grade 4.6 :- fu = 400 N/mm2 and fy = 0.6*400 = 240 N/mm2

Bolts
High strength bolts:
They are made up of bars of
medium carbon steel bars
The bolts of property class 8.8 and
10.9 are commonly used in steel
construction and identified by
‘8.8S’ and ‘10.9S’ marking on the
bolt head. Suffix ‘S’ denotes high
strength bolt.

Types of Fasteners

Bolts
High strength friction grip (HSFG) bolts:
They conform to IS:3757-1985
These are the bolts with induced initial tension.
They do not allow slip between the connected members
Due to the high strength, no. of bolts required are less and size of gusset plate required
is also less.
grades from 8.8 to 10.9
Types of Fasteners

• Grip is the distance from behind the bolt head to the back of the nut or washer
 It is the sum of the thicknesses of all the parts being joined exclusive of washers
• Thread length is the threaded portion of the bolt
• Bolt length is the distance from behind the bolt head to the end of the bolt

• The bolting operation is
very silent.
• Bolting is cold process
hence there is no risk of
fire.
• Bolting operation is more
quicker than riveting.
• Less man power is required
in making the connections.
• If subjected to vibratory
loads, results in reduction in
strength get loosened.
• Unfinished bolts have lesser
strength because of non
uniform diameter.

When torque or twisting moment is in the
plane of onnection the connections may be
termed as a bracket connection type-I This
situation occurs when line of action of load is in
the plane of bolted connection and centre of
gravity of connection is the centre of rotation
Forces on bolts bracket connection type-I
Bracket Connection - Type -1:

The forces due to direct shear F1 and due to torque F2 are given by,

Examples: 6
Determine safe load P that can be carried by a bolted bracket connection
as shown in Fig. The bolts are 20 mm diameter of grade 4.6. The
thickness of the flange of l-section is 10.6 mm and that of bracket plate is 12 mm.

Design a bracket connection using 4.6 grade black bolt of suitable size to
transmit a factored load of 135 kN (applied on a 12 mm thick bracket plate)
to the flange of a column ISHB 225. The load eccentricity is 200 mm
measured from the column axis as shown in figure. (MU 2014, 10 Mark)
Solution
(ii) Design of bolts :
Using M20 black bolts of grade 4.6
Strength of bolt: (cl. 10.3.2, IS 800-2007)
Fub = 400N/mm2
d = 20 mm do = 20 + 2 = 22 mm
emin = 1.5 do = 1.5x22 = 33 mm,
Pmin = 2.5 xd = 2.5x20 = 50mm = 60 mm
(i) Load P for which bracket designed :
The design load P is always considered 50% of
the reaction transferred by the beam. But
in this case P is directly given.
P = 135 kN

When the bending moment of eccentric force
P is in a plane perpendicular to the plane
of connection then the bracket connection is
termed as bracket connection type-II

Bracket Connection Type-ll :

Determine P. Use 2ISA 100 x 100 x 12 mm angle. Use 20 mm dia bolts for
connection. The thickness of bracket plate is 16 mm as shown in
Fig. (MU 2013, 10 Mark)

Figure Find the maximum value of
load P that can safely be applied
on the bracket.
