CONNECTIONS
The main material used for the joint connections of this structure is a bolt with metal plate. All
connections are considered to be in double shear.

Theoretical

Actual

BEAM-COLUMN CONNECTION
The types of connection for beam-column depends on the number of beams which receive support
from columns. The figures below show the dimensions of the column and the dimensions to be extracted
from it.
the

The broken lines show the area to be extracted from the column, and to be added to the beam for
connection.

The

first type
shows a column with two beams connected in it, which is usually a corner
column.
The second type is a column with three beams most likely a
side
column. Lastly, the third type is
a column
with
four
beams
connected
which is most of the time an interior column.

FRONT VIEW

SIDE VIEW

The number of bolts is to be solved in the next sections. This figure shows the interaction that will
happen in the face of the column.

This figure shows the 3D view

the beam and column.
Beam-Girder (Beam-Beam)

(X-ray form) of the connection between

The beam-girder connection is almost the same with beam-column. In this structure, there are only
two beam-girder connections and thus no need for type specification.

Truss-Column (Truss-Beam)

This figure shows the connection of an inclined

member of truss to column. Like the other connections, this
is a double shear using bolts. The rafters of the truss will be
bolted to the extended part of the column.

COMPUTATIONS

BEAM-COLUMN, BEAM-BEAM
Process
1. Determine the vertical (shear) forces in the member ends to be connected to other members.
2. Determine the length of bolt in main member, the diameter of the bolt, and the allowable loads the
bolt could carry.
3. Compute for the number of bolts needed and spacing.
