A hinged connection with a cleat angle and V.B. (Vertical Bolt) refers to a type of structural connection used in steel construction, typically between a beam and a column. This type of connection allows for rotational movement at the joint while providing stability and load transfer. Here’s a general description of the connection process: Cleat […]

A VL (Vertical-to-Lateral) bracing connection can also be made to the web of a column to provide lateral stability to the structure. The column web acts as the main structural member, while the VL brace provides resistance against lateral loads such as wind or seismic forces. Here’s a general description of the connection process: Determine

A VL (Vertical-to-Lateral) bracing connection can be made to an HL (wide flange) beam to provide lateral stability to the structure. The HL beam acts as the main structural member, while the VL brace provides resistance against lateral loads such as wind or seismic forces. Here’s a general description of the connection process: Preparation: Determine

A VL bracing connection refers to a specific type of connection used in structural engineering for bracing members. It is designed to provide resistance against lateral loads, such as wind or seismic forces, and is commonly used in steel structures. The bearing type VL bracing connection relies on bearing stress transfer between the brace and
