    Steel Connections

    In present times, the most common way to


    connect structural steel members is to use
    bolts or welds.

    Rivets have historically been used as a


    connecting medium, however they have
    largely been replaced by bolts for a number
    of reasons
    Riveted Connections
    Rivets have a long history as a
    connecting medium for steel
    connections.

    They are made up of a head and a


    ductile shank.

    The process for installation required the


    pre-heating of the rivet, and the
    application of pneumatic pressure. This
    posed a number of disadvantages
    including the need for pre-heating (extra
    energy input and process as well as fire
    risk), high levels of noise during
    installation, and difficulty in replacing
    rivets during maintenance.
    Disadvantages of Riveting

    This posed a number of disadvantages


    including the need for pre-heating (extra
    energy input and process as well as fire risk),
    high levels of noise during installation, and
    difficulty in replacing rivets during
    maintenance.
    Bolting

    Bolts have largely replaced rivets due to their


    lower installation cost, ease of installation and
    maintenance.

    The two types of bolts commonly used in steel


    construction include high strength structural
    steel, and A307 bolts (common bolts).

    Bolts however have the notable disadvantage


    of loosening under vibratory loads resulting in a
    reduction of strength.
    Welded Connections

    Welded connections have the primary advantage of


    being simple in design, requiring fewer parts and
    material.

    Welds however shrink, and this effect needs to be


    considered in the design particularly for large welds.

    In addition, the inspection of welds is more difficult and


    hence costlier and more difficult to maintain. Variability
    exists with the quality of the weld being made by the
    erector.
