Moment connection types Beam splice Beam to column connection Corner connection
A few principles of connection design • Keep the load path as direct as possible • Connect the loaded fibres • Avoid tension perpendicular to grain stresses • Make use of compression load transfer as much as possible • Use steel elements when tension load transfer is necessary

Corner connection Connection with shear
Corner connection Large moments Connection with shear Embedded rods
Corner connection • A less desirable connection • Causes tension perpendicular to grain • Two connections with eccentricity
Sandwiched corner connection • A less desirable connection • Causes tension perpendicular to grain
