Steel connections
Steel connections
(OP)
I believe that I have always known the steel angles that connect a steel beam to a steel column as "headers angles". But someone is questioning me on this and I am trying to find where this might be defined. Does anyone else use this terminology, and if so, do you know where it might be defined? I did not see it in the CISC Steel Handbook pages on connections, although I do see the word "header" in my 1973 edition of the CISC Steel handbook, in the French-English dictionary therein.

There is a CISC publication (I don't think they update it anymore) called "Standardized Shear Connections" by J.E. Henderson. He refers to this connection as header angles.

Also, an angle that a beam sits on during construction would be referred to as a "seat angle" or "angle seat".

Does that publication also have connections for diagonal brace connections?

In my practice, I've referred to such angles installed vertically on the column as "clip angles" and those installed horizontally on the column as "seats or angle seats" (though more properly, they are "beam seats fabricated from angle"!).
