Abstract – Due to advancements in the construction

A connection must be designed for connectivity in order to assure that it won't fail due to the applied load detail. It must also take into account the requirements of fabricators and erectors while creating and putting in place the various components. The method of verifying steel connections must include demonstrating the quality of welds and confirming that the stresses placed on the steel plates, sections, and bolts holding them together are all well within the tolerances of the materials that are specified.

All these members and components are joined by connections, so it becomes important to design the steel junction connections precisely and with utmost care. These connections are responsible for the transference of forces or loads from one member to another. In this project various connection details have been designed manually.

1.1 TYPES OF CONNECTIONS

industry a slow shift from RCC structures to steel structures can be seen. Steel tube structures have started dominating construction industry due to its various advantages like they perform better in twisting and minor direction bending capacity, are better in buckling due to less slenderness ratio, provide better earthquake performance, no shuttering is required in composite columns, Less Construction Time is required.

On the basis of different loads broadly steel connections can be categorized into following types. 1.Tension Connections 2.Compression Connections

Key Words:

Steel connections, Steel tubes, Shear connections, Bolted connection, Fixed welded connection.

3.Shear Connections 4.Moment Connections

1. INTRODUCTION

Steel connections can further be classified on the basis of the restraint they provide. These classifications (in decreasing restraint level are as follows:

Connection design is One of the most important components of steel detailing. It is the essential part of the process which makes sure that the components hold together as they probably should. Dy by day Engineers are developing new ideas and coming up with new and improved challenging designs. Without proper connection designs, the completion of new steel tubes building buildings is not possible. The steel framework, which is concealed under a sleek facade, is put to extreme pressures by the building's tall heights and unusual geometries. There is a great demand for precise steel details and connection design.

1.Fully restrained moment connections 2.Partially restrained moment connections 3.Simple shear connections The fully restrained connections can resist the maximum end moments and it allows minimum amount of end rotation while as simple shear connections supports lower end moments and allows maximum end rotation. Partially restrained connections lie in the middle of fully restrained and the simple shear connections

Producing steel detailing and connecting designs is a difficulty for all buildings, of course. It is also important for less complex construction projects, such as factory structures, apartment complexes with distinctive balconies, and bridges. To ensure that lives aren't put in danger, they all need precise, dependable steel details and connection design

2. AXIAL CONNECTON FOR BRACINGS Grade of Steel, fy = 345 N/mm2 Details of Section (D x B x t) = 250x250x10mm3 Area of Section, Ag = 9600 mm2 Diameter of Bolt = 24 mm Grade of Bolt = 8.8 No. of Bolts Provided = 18 Minimum 31 Bolts No. of Bolts Provided along Width of Plate =3 Provided Thickness of Plate = 32 mm

Fundamentally , the connectivity element of steel detailing is what is used to calculate the transference of forces between sections of steel. Basically, these forces can be categoriesed into : Beam to beam, bracing connections, column to beam, and splice.
