Explanation:

A framed connection uses angles or plates to connect the web of a beam to the flange or web of a column, usually with bolts or welds.

  • Transfers shear force, with minimal moment resistance.

  • Used in light moment or flexible joints.

  • Allows slight rotation and thus reduces secondary stresses in structures.

 Additional InformationClip angle section 

A clip angle connection uses one or two angles to connect the beam web to the column flange or web, bolted or welded.

  • A form of framed connection.

  • Also designed primarily for shear.

  • Often considered a sub-type of framed connection, may not resist much moment unless specially designed.

Split beam connection

  • A long beam is fabricated or transported in two or more segments.

  • These segments are connected (spliced) at the site using splice plates or bolted/welded joints.

  • Large span beams where single-length transport is not feasible.

  • Splice is placed at locations of minimum moment, typically around the point of contraflexure.

Unstiffened seat connection

An unstiffened seat connection consists of a horizontal angle (seat angle) supporting the bottom flange of the beam, sometimes with a top angle for restraint.

  • Transfers vertical shear.

  • Offers very low moment resistance.

  • Used in simple support conditions where beam end reactions are small.
