Connection Reference

Connection Reference

(OP)
Are any of you aware of a good, comprehensive (US standard preferably) guide for connection design where multiple beams frame in at one level? Specifically, I am looking for the column checks required with 2 moment connections (col flange) and 2 shear connections (col web). However, I would appreciate a guide that covers many different situations.

RE: Connection Reference

I'm not sure you are going to find a guide that spells everything out for you. The AISC has a design guide for moment connections that is pretty good (design guide 13). Likewise, you then need to figure out how you are going to connect your beam in the weak axis, and what that is going to do to you panel zone shear.

Thanks for the info SteelPE. I have used that DG a fair amount in the past and I agree that it would be a good reference (although I would like to see AISC combine DG 4-Extended End Plates, DG 13-Column Stiffening, and DG 17-Flush and Extended End Plates into one comprehensive DG. Topic for another day though).

RE: Connection Reference

If you want the name of a book, the best I've ever seen is "Handbook of Structural Steel Connection Design and Details" by Akbar R. Tamboli.
