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.
