CONNECTION TYPES • Shear End-Plate • Double Angles • Single Angle • Shear Tab or Single Plate • Tee • Seated – Unstiffened and Stiffened
1 1/4" Minimum Edge Distance End Plate Note : End Plate Thickness Range is 1/4" to 3/8" SHEAR END-PLATE Advantages: • Simple – Few Parts • No Holes in Beam Disadvantages: • Requires Beam to be Cut to Exact Length Comments: • Not commonly used in US; very common in Australia and Europe
Horizontal short slots may be used in angles 2 Angles 2 Angles DOUBLE ANGLES Advantages: • Beam Length can Vary • Weld or Bolt to Beam Disadvantages: • Double Sided Connections into Column Webs are an Erection Problem
Return @ Top Bolted and Welded Alternatives SINGLE ANGLE Advantages: • Eliminates Erection Problem • Fewer Parts Disadvantages: • Larger Angle Required • Larger Bolts or Weld Comment: • Not recommended for laterally unbraced beams.
Single Plate SHEAR TAB or SINGLE PLATE Advantages: • Simple – Few Parts • No Welding on Beam Disadvantages: • Stiffer than Other Types • Requires Careful Design Comments: • Two design models available, with very different results.
4" Stabilizer Clip 2" Alternate Clip Position Return @ Top Seat Angle UNSTIFFENED SEATED CONNECTION Advantages: • Few Parts • Few Bolts Disadvantages: • Requires Stability Angle • Limited strength Comment: • Commonly used to connect to the web of a column.
4" Stabilizer Clip 2" Alternate Clip Position Seat Plate Stiffener Optional Trim Lines STIFFENED SEATED CONNECTION Advantages: • Few Parts • Few Bolts Disadvantages: • Requires Stability Angle • Introduces a Column Web Limit State Comment: • Commonly used to connect to the web of a column.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS • Ductility Considerations • Angle thickness < 5/8 in. • Wide gage • Wide vertical weld spacing with minimum horizontal returns
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS • Beam Length Tolerance +/- 1/4 in. To accommodate: Setbacks in calculations are usually 1/2 in. End edge distances are taken 1/4 in. less than detailed.
