Bolted Steel Connections
Bolted Steel Connections
(OP)
Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
I am designing a steel portal frame canopy i.e. moment frame with a 15 degree rafter slope.
The column / rafter connection is to be a bolted haunch (tapered member).
I am looking for design guidlines for the column / rafter and connection design in AISC but havent come across any.
Any pointers will be appreciated
Many thanks in anticipation.

I cannot recall which number.
RE: Bolted Steel Connections
AISC Design Guide 4 and 16

RE: Bolted Steel Connections
I'm new to the AISC method of design so please bear with me.
I have the following AISC documents ; a) Steel Construction Manual 13th Edition, b)Standard Code of Practice 2005 and c)Design Examples version 13.
Is the Design Guide something different?
thanks again

Here in England (uk) steel portal frames for industrial sheds are very common. I get the feeling that bolted and haunched knee joints are not how it's done in the USA. If not do you use fabricated welded plates for these joints or something else.
thanks for reading

What you have described is a fairly typical metal building frame configuration.
