Structural steel bolted connections

Design of structural steel bolted connections, including proposed AS 4100 revision updates

The recent growth in steel framed buildings and similar structures in Australia has emphasised the need for engineers to manage their risk in the design and compliance of structural steelwork. The flexibility for site assembly and fabrication efficiencies developed through the use of bolted connections are a significant component of steel’s success as a building material with CNC beam lining and profile cutting rapidly contributing to more cost-efficient connections. And not to mention ease of de-construction and re-use, supporting sustainable outcomes.

This seminar will establish the solutions possible through pragmatic standardised connection design and explain the cost efficiencies of bolted connections. A particular focus on design and installation to realise this efficiency and provide safe, structurally sound designs underpins the seminar.

Significantly the seminar will introduce and discuss the planned revisions to AS 4100 as regards bolted connection design and specification.

A thorough understanding of connection design and cost efficiencies is a fundamental component of your continuing professional development in structural steel design.

Seminar content:

  • bolt strength fundamentals
  • AS 4100/AS/NZS 1252 context
  • bolted connection design models
  • economical design and detailing
  • recent developments
  • compliance
