Connections in the steel industry are vital. They provide the ability to fabricate steel sub-assemblies of a building in a controlled environment, then erect the fabricated assemblies at the building site. This can provide benefits in the cost, quality and schedule of the building process.
There are several types of steel connections. The main components of a steel connection are the connecting elements (such as shear plates, gusset plates, stiffeners, etc.), connected elements (such as webs and flanges of supporting member or supported member) and a connection mechanism, such as bolts, welds, rivets, etc.
This course is part of a course series related to the design of connections. All courses in the series are independent, and do not require any prerequisites. The following is the list of the courses in the series:
2. Design of Structural Bolts
3. Design of Structural Connection Elements
This course, Design of Bolts, involves a study on the design of bolts according to AISC Construction Manual 14th edition-Parts 7, 8 & 9, and also AISC360-10-Chapter J. All equations in the course are presented using ASD and LRFD methods.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Welding positions
- Weld symbols
- Minimum and maximum weld thickness
- Minimum and maximum weld length
- Determination of weld strength using Elastic Method
- Determination of weld strength using the Instantaneous Center Method
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 25 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
