There are many types of Steel Connections, each of them has benefits and drawbacks. as a structural engineer is important to understand how to design steel structures and the design of steel framing is all about the connections. This video goes through the common types of Steel connections along with the benefits and drawbacks of each of these steel connection types.
Steel connections fit into different categories pinned, semi-rigid, fixed and bearing.

The thought process behind your craft. I would be very happy if you show us a design example worked out. We need to share our methods and assumptions, so we grow as a stronger and better community.

love your videos, its interesting to see some of the slight differences in connections we use. For the beam or column splice we just do bolted on both members (no shop welding of plates). And bolted moment connections are extremely popular in our steel building design but as another commenter mentioned, as the buildings get larger, the connection design is done by a PE at the company of the steel fabricator and we as EOR just review their design and approve their design during the shop drawing phase. But I do miss designing the connections, it was fun!

Hello Brendan, I commend your effort and zeal in making these vidoes. It is obvious that you are proficient in your job, and you have the passion to pass it on to budding engineers. Nevertheless, I'd suggest having an explanation of each concept (in this case connections) as voice-overs while giving more time to the structural drawings and details. In this case, more time should have been given to the connections than their explanation. This will aid young engineers who lack site experience to visualize the structure more.

Hi Brendan, youtube recommended me your video and here i am watching all. I am a civil engineer and have worked in the construction of Hydroelectric projects in the Himalayan nation of Bhutan for about 7 years. I always had it at the back of my mind to learn and become a structural engineer some day but I could not when back home as it wasn’t a design company I was working with. Now that I am in Perth for the last year and a half for my spouse’s studies. M looking into getting a first hand experience working with design firms and learn the art of designing. How do you see the prospect for a person like me, is it a good go to transition at this juncture of my life. Any place I could get some reliable and adequate resources that are applicable for structural engineers in Australia. M hopeful to hear back from you. Thanks.

Is it possible to have zero weld steel structural connections? for example, for joining two UBs at right angles, could you bolt to both beams with a bracket in between? I remember reading about weldless cleat bolting systems somewhere. Is there also a way to splice beams together without having the weld on one side at the top and the other side at the bottom as your diagram has. I am amazing at how much welding is required even for small steel structures given the added cost and delays it may bring, whereas a structure primarily built with bolts would likely be easier to erect don't you think? anyway, interested to hear your thoughts if you have the time.

@BrendanHasty 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Benjamin, you can make the connections without welding, however it doesn't save any time. As the welding will occur in the factory prior to coming to site. They would also be some secondary actions to be careful of with a connection that I'd fully bolted.
