CONNECTION DESIGN - DESIGN REQUIREMENTS CONNECTION DESIGN DESIGN REQUIREMENTS 29 INTRODUCTION Steel sections are manufactured and shipped to some standard lengths, as governed by rolling, transportation and handling restrictions. However, most of the steel structural members used in structures have to span great lengths and enclose large three-dimensional spaces. Hence connections are necessary to synthesize such spatial structures from one- and two-dimensional elements and also to bring about stability of structures under different loads. Thus, connections are essential to create an integral steel structure using discrete linear and two-dimensional (plate) elements.
Residual stresses and strains 2.1 Complexity of connection geometry The geometry of connections is usually more complex than that of the members being joined (Fig.1). The stress analysis of the joint is complicated by the (locally) highly indeterminate nature of the joint, non-linear nature of the behaviour due to lack of fit,
