shear connection vs moment connection
shear connection vs moment connection
(OP)
Friends,
i had to design 6 storey shopping mall in siesmic zone 5 for static analysis only.
c/c spacing btwn columns is 8 mtrs
Now can i design a shear connection by providing vertical cross breacings ?
(or)
shall i go for moment connection ?
among both which is economical and which is better to design?

RE: shear connection vs moment connection
1) The skills and particular equipment of the fabricator.
2) The skills and availability of the field erection crews.
3) How much field welding is required versus shop welding.
4) The number of actual connections to make in the shop and field.
5) How tall the structure is.
6) The relative costs of labor versus materials in your area.
7) The availability of various materials in your area.
And this list doesn't even address any factors that would be important if you were to consider dynamic seismic loads.
