Fundamentals of Connection Design: Fundamental Concepts, Part 1

This session will provide an overview of basic connection types including tension, compression, framing, and moment connections. How to classify beam-to-column connections will be discussed, followed by a review of limit states in the load path. Bolt-related limit states and detailing will be reviewed, including discussions on different types of bolts, bolt installation, bolt shear strength, and combined shear plus tension strength. Fillet weld-related limit states will also be discussed.

This course is based on a past AISC Live Webinar.
