CLIP ANGLE SHEAR CONNECTION-CLIP ANGLE-QN-BOLTED

A clip angle shear connection is a type of structural connection used in steel construction. It involves the use of clip angles, which are L-shaped steel members, to connect two structural elements together.

In a clip angle shear connection, one leg of the clip angle is welded or bolted to one structural element, such as a beam or column, while the other leg is connected to the other structural element, typically a column or a gusset plate. The clip angle provides resistance against shear forces and transfers the load between the connected members.

This type of connection is commonly used in applications where two structural elements need to be connected at an angle. Clip angle connections are relatively simple and cost-effective to fabricate and install, making them popular in steel construction projects. They are often used in moment-resisting connections, bracing connections, and other connections requiring shear resistance.
