Connections in the steel industry are vital. They provide the ability to fabricate steel sub-assemblies of a building in a controlled environment, then erect the fabricated assemblies at the building site. This can provide benefits in the cost, quality and schedule of the building process.

There are several types of steel connections. The main components of a steel connection are the connecting elements (such as shear plates, gusset plates, stiffeners, etc.), connected elements (such as webs and flanges of supporting member or supported member) and a connection mechanism, such as bolts, welds, rivets, etc.

This course is part of a course series related to the design of connections. All courses in the series are independent, and do not require any prerequisites. The following is the list of the courses in the series:

1. Design of Structural Welds
2. Design of Structural Bolts
3. Design of Structural Connection Elements

This course, Design of Bolts, involves a study on the design of bolts according to AISC Construction Manual 14th edition-Parts 7, 8 &9, and also AISC360-10-Chapter J. All equations in the course are presented using ASD and LRFD methods.

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Shear, bearing, and tension strengths of bolts
  • Slip critical strength of bolts
  • Minimum and maximum spacing of bolts
  • Minimum and maximum edge distance of bolts
  • Analysis of bolted connections

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 25 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
