New types of connections

The following types of connections have been implemented:

  • Baseplate with bolted diagonal

This connection allows for the main section to be a rolled or built-up rolled I type, and for a circular hollow section or rectangular tube. The diagonal that is bolted to the haunch can be an angle, U or plate type.

  • Beam-to-column joint with built-up variable sections

This connection allows for the column to be a rolled double I or built-up double I with constant depth, or built-up double I with variable depth, the beam must be a built-up double I reinforced with variable depth. The beam is connected by an end plate bolted to the top of the column.

  • Column-to-beam joint, at the column web with plates bolted to the web and flanges

This connection is applicable to rolled double I-type sections. The beam is connected to the column by an end plate bolted to the column flange or web. The diagonal is joined to the haunch with angles bolted to the flanges and cover plates to the web.

  • Connection between column, beam and diagonal

This connection is applicable to rolled double-I type sections. The beam is connected to the column by an end plate bolted to the column flange or web. The diagonal is joined to the haunch by angles bolted to the flanges and a cover plate bolted to the web.

  • Circular tube splice connections

This connection allows two aligned tubes, of the same or different diameters, to be bolted together using a circular end plate.

  • Baseplate for circular tubes

This baseplate is applicable to circular tubes, the anchor plate is circular, with a radial distribution of stiffeners and bolts.
