The following types of connections have been implemented:
- Rectangular tube to stiffener connection
Bolted connection between a rectangular tube and the I-section web stiffener. A cutting angle at the end of the tube is defined to be able to place the bolts inside the tube.
- Column to beam moment connection with plates bolted to the web and flanges
This connection joins I-section columns and beams. It is a moment connection in which the flanges and web of the beam are bolted to plates that are welded to the column. The plates of the flanges are joined to the column using butt welds. The web plate can be connected to the column with fillet or butt welds.
- Column to beam moment connection with bolted side plate and welded to the beam
This connection joins I-section columns and beams. It is a moment connection in which the flanges of the beam are joined to the flange of the column using butt welds. The web of the beam is connected to the column using a side plate that is welded and bolted to the web of the beam.
