Kinked Connections -- What Are They And How to Deal With Them

“Kinked connections" are those where loads flowing through the connections follow an eccentric load path, creating secondary moments and stresses.  Kinked connections, if not properly addressed during design, can add unnecessary cost and complexity to a structure, and can lead to problems and headaches for designers, including RFIs and change orders.  This webinar will review the need for engineers to find kinked connections in their models during design, and either eliminate the kinks or deal with them.  Examples of various kinked connection configurations will be reviewed, and the role of the AISC Code of Standard Practice will be discussed.
