Moment Connection Design for Beam to Weak Axis Column

Designing a moment connection between a beam and a weak axis column based on the AISC 360-10 (American Institute of Steel Construction) involves several steps and considerations. Here’s a general outline of the process: Determine the connection type: Select the appropriate moment connection type based on the project requirements and constraints. Common types include bolted […]

A Moment Connection in structural engineering is a joint that allows the transfer of bending moment forces between a column and beam (or any other two members). If a child member (a beam) has some internal moment, the connection should be able to transmit the load due to that moment.
