Steel Connection minimum capacity
Steel Connection minimum capacity
(OP)
Hi all, does anyone know what is the minimum forces or capacity of a steel connection if the forces from the analysis is very low. say less than 30% of the design capacity of the member. I am currently using BS code (BS 5950) and i cant seem to find it on the code.
I know that AISC has a requirement about the minimum capacity that needs to be developed in the connection. i forgot what it the exact figure...
can anyone advice me on this?

Australian standards require a minimum of 30% or 50% of the moment capacity of the member for moment connections (depending on how you interpret the code).
