The aim and purpose of this software are to provide various types of connections designs as per various codes and standard practices. In a project life, revisions always occur in layouts, structural arrangements, loading etc. The designs get revised accordingly. Hence the connections need to be revised aptly.

Connections vary as per standard practices of design and detailing. This document presents some typical connections to indicate the overall extent of the software. Any variations can be added and made available as per specific requirements.

All calculations are done as per code requirements, and the report so generated shows detailed calculations with clauses and other references. Suitability of connection is indicated with remarks like OK or REVISE. 3D representation helps to understand the details of the connection and fouling if any of the connected components. The details of similar types of connections can also be obtained in a tabular form under various parameters as applicable.

IS_800

Code: IS_800

Connection: Shear:

These are shear connections with shear tab, & cleat angles. Other variations like connections with channels, single cleat, connection in column web, connection on both sides, with different member depths etc can also be made available.

Code: IS_800

Connection: Base Plate.

 

Other variations like Box columns, Back to back channel columns, fabricated columns; base plate without shear key, shear key as I section, plate section, cross plates etc can be made available.

---

Code: IS_800

Connection: Splice

Other variations like, Columns placed eccentrically, columns flush on one side, with splice plate placed inside of the flange can be made available.

Code: IS_800

• Beam To Beam
  • Welded Splice For Beam

Splices with internal flange plates, a combination of bolted and welded splice also can be made available.

---

Code: IS_800

Connection: Bracing

• Channel Bracing
• Channel Welded To Gusset Plate

Channel bolted to gusset can be included when required.

Any other arrangement of bracings and their combinations with other connections can be added as per specific requirements.

---

Code: IS_800

Connection: Moment

---

Connection: Special

(Non – Standard Connections)

Weld For Fabricated Sections:

This gives the weld size requirements between web plate and flange plates for fabricated sections.

Combination of Moment and a shear connection (A beam and a bracing meeting at a joint) :

This moment connection has an end piece to resist the moment and the beam is connected to it in the web. Also, there is a double angle bracing connected to the end piece at its bottom, which is designed as a bracing connection.

Weld of Fabricated Sections with Flange Plate.

---

These are NON-STANDARD types of connections, mostly used for very heavy types of profiles carrying heavy reactions. They may be developed from case to case basis. Some typical types are available in the software. Any specific project requirements and arrangement of connection can be analyzed and made available.

---

Connection: PEB Structures:

Base plate design are available based on Limit state theory as well as on Working stress method.

This is a bolted end plate moment connection at Top of a column with varying web depth, with cap plate and stiffeners

Other arrangements for Pipe bracings can be provided as per requirements.

---

Connection: Brackets:

Various types of Bracket connections are available, some typical are shown here. Specific arrangement of bracket, welded, bolted or combination of welded & bolted, subjected to various types of loads, with or without knee connection, can be designed and included to meet the requirements.
