Project 1 - Review of Shear & Moment Connections in RAM Connection

Aim :-

Design and optimize typical shear, moment and Splice joints in RAM Connection for the following structure modelled in Staad Pro. Design and optimize base plate connection.

Structure: A 2D portal frame fixed support spanning 15m with a pitched roof ridge height of 12m, slope of 4 degrees. A uniformly distributed load of 10kN/m is applied on the roof beams. Optimize the beams and columns for 85% utilization and consider splice joints at 6m from base and 4m from beam column joints. Consider a hanger beam shear connected with column support of 4m height from the splice joint with a length of 3m from beam-column corner joint carrying 5kN/m load. Use hot rolled sections.

Procedure :-

* Properties of the sections

* Specifications

* Supports

* Loadings

* Optimized the beams and columns for 85% utilization

Design

* Considered splice joints at 6m from base and 3m from beam column joints.

* Considered a hanger beam shear connected with column support of 4m height at 3m from beam-column corner joint carrying 5kN/m load.

* Designed and optimized all the connections.
