Advanced Design for The Bolted Clip-Angle Connection

Abstract:

The main focus of this study is to investigate the clip-angle connections are described the section based on ideal limit states. The connection components are designed in accordance with the 2001 AISC-LRFD Specifications and the 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions. In the suggested clip-angle connection, the structural beam can be connected to the column using six high-strength bolts. The slippage on the shear faying surface contributes to increasing energy dissipated capacity in the connection behavior. The design of the clip-angle connection should include these mechanical characteristics. Therefore, this study presents new design methodology that can be applied to bolted clip-angle connections. Besides, step-by-step procedures for design will be treated herein.
