Braced Frames, Moment Frames and Cantilevers
Presenter: Erik Nelson | Structures Workshop
- Lateral systems and interactions of axial thru forces, collector forces with amplification, and R factors – practical design advice
- Axial and Moment Load paths
- Structural Drawing information for fabricators regarding member axial of collectors vs axial thru forces on braced frames
- Statics on braced frames when collector forces greatly exceed horizontal components of bracing members
- Simple design advice on when axial forces are too high for beam web connections and when moment designation should be used
- Load paths on axial thru forces and moments on stiffener welds within the column web.
- Stiffeners and Doubler plates within moment frames, a discussion
- Larges difference in connection review and design of cantilevers vs lateral moment connections– what to look out for
Top Things You Should Know about HSS Connections
Presenter: Brad Fletcher | Atlas Tube
- Lateral HSS connections often seem mysterious — but they don’t have to.
- While not a how-to guide, this presentation highlights aspects of HSS connection design that are often overlooked or misunderstood
- Attendees will gain a clear understanding of tension, shear, moment and truss connections and how they differ from other types of connections.
Design Detailing and Efficiencies in Steel Design
From a Fabricator's Perspective
Presenters:
Jonathan Hamann, Brock Bessey, and Cary Grant
Cives Steel Company, New England Division
- Fabricators perspectives on cost effective detailing
- Information for effective connection design
- How changes impact production and cost
