The Common Types of Steel Connections

[@davidroofier8675]

This is by far the most valuable video out there. You just don't learn these things in university as I've learned these things through dealing with contractors or from a superior. Thanks for sharing your valuable experience with us!

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi David, Glad that you found it valuable. I hope to keep delivering great content

[@stefanstoichev8108]

Great work sir. I can see you are an experienced professional with a lot of knowledge and background. I am a 3 years in to the field working after graduating and personally I am very interested in the philosophy you are using when doing your design and calculations. The thought process behind your craft. I would be very happy if you show us a design example worked out. We need to share our methods and assumptions, so we grow as a stronger and better community.

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Stefan thanks for the support. Hopefully you can pick it up from my future videos, design philosophy would be a good video.

[@vinmi318]

Thank you. I would like to know how a fixed connection can be achieved to when mullion is connected to concrete slab. Kindly request to make some video on the types of facade connections .

[@peet225]

Sir, is there a provision that the location of welded splicing of steel column should not be located at column-girder connection? Thank you.

[@abbas2294]

Phenomenal. I have already been very much confused with the connections of steel design. It would be great if you can provide a few work out examples for better understanding.

[@edidiongedet3984]

Hello Brendan, I commend your effort and zeal in making these vidoes. It is obvious that you are proficient in your job, and you have the passion to pass it on to budding engineers. Nevertheless, I'd suggest having an explanation of each concept (in this case connections) as voice-overs while giving more time to the structural drawings and details. In this case, more time should have been given to the connections than their explanation. This will aid young engineers who lack site experience to visualize the structure more.

[@BrendanHasty]

Thanks for the suggestion for improvement.

[@SpaDerola]

Can I ask, when you say the connections are considered pinned because they transfer no moment, isn't the moment reacted against by the bolts force couple and arrangement? Is this assumption just a simplification?

[@MrPaturick]

Great channel! Where I work, steel connection design is almost always delegated to the steel fabricator and not done by the EOR

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Parrick, connections is where all the fun is in steel design. Have you had a chance to design them?

[@BrendanHasty]

Thanks for your support! I'm working on it.

[@PeterRanieriII]

love your videos, its interesting to see some of the slight differences in connections we use. For the beam or column splice we just do bolted on both members (no shop welding of plates). And bolted moment connections are extremely popular in our steel building design but as another commenter mentioned, as the buildings get larger, the connection design is done by a PE at the company of the steel fabricator and we as EOR just review their design and approve their design during the shop drawing phase. But I do miss designing the connections, it was fun!

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Peter, Designing and detailing the connection in steel is one of the most enjoyable things in steel design.

[@PeterRanieriII]

@@BrendanHasty It is, but placing columns and beams that work within an architectural layout is a puzzle and skill in and of itself, a lot of fun as well!

[@kuldeeps3830]

Very informative video. I'm expecting more about rcc,steel and composite structures design philosophy and how you design. Thanks. Appreciate your efforts sir.

Hi Brandon, What is the tolerance within the steel erection

[@BrendanHasty]

2-3 on a connection between columns that gived you around 6mm.

[@leonardpeposhi5154]

Thanks Brandon, I also wanted to ask, is there any rules for the installation of bolts, example for the columns that have end plate splice should the bolts be on top and the nut at the bottom?

[@bolindo69]

Is it possible to have zero weld steel structural connections? for example, for joining two UBs at right angles, could you bolt to both beams with a bracket in between? I remember reading about weldless cleat bolting systems somewhere. Is there also a way to splice beams together without having the weld on one side at the top and the other side at the bottom as your diagram has. I am amazing at how much welding is required even for small steel structures given the added cost and delays it may bring, whereas a structure primarily built with bolts would likely be easier to erect don't you think? anyway, interested to hear your thoughts if you have the time.

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Benjamin, you can make the connections without welding, however it doesn't save any time. As the welding will occur in the factory prior to coming to site. They would also be some secondary actions to be careful of with a connection that I'd fully bolted.

[@TheSithSiggi]

Great video! Do you have any best practice (or reference) for bolted connections in marine/subsea environments?

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Sigurd, this would really about protecting the steel work. Bolts may be stainless steel, it may also need a maintenance regime. Thanks for watching and the support.

[@kimmypush9898]

Hey Brendan can you suggest me any topic for the thesis (structure engineering ) thanks

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Kimmy I always found structural dynamics interesting, either for slabs or building behaviour(lateral). Shaping building to reduce wind load would also be interesting. But my best recommendation is pick something you find interesting and a lecture you work well with.

Hi Brendan, youtube recommended me your video and here i am watching all. I am a civil engineer and have worked in the construction of Hydroelectric projects in the Himalayan nation of Bhutan for about 7 years. I always had it at the back of my mind to learn and become a structural engineer some day but I could not when back home as it wasn’t a design company I was working with. Now that I am in Perth for the last year and a half for my spouse’s studies. M looking into getting a first hand experience working with design firms and learn the art of designing. How do you see the prospect for a person like me, is it a good go to transition at this juncture of my life. Any place I could get some reliable and adequate resources that are applicable for structural engineers in Australia. M hopeful to hear back from you. Thanks.

Hi Kiran, Engineers Australia has some additional assessments that would help, also getting your IstructE chartership would help. You just need to get your foot in the door; starting at a small firm may be easier.
