Limit states design capacity of standardised steel connections
AbstractThe range of standardised ‘shear’ (i.e. not moment-resisting) steel connections in Australia is described, and a model of each of the relevant limit states capacities is presented, consistent with current practice and with the new Australian Limit States Design Code AS 4100. A computer package developed as a tutor/design program (CT) is used to calculate the capacities predicted by those models for a wide and representative range of members and connection components. Those capacities are contrasted with the working loads given in the previous (Working Stress Design)‡The acronyms LSD and WSD are used throughout this paper to abbreviate Limit States Design and Working Stress Design, respectively; they are sometimes also described as Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD). Code AS 1250; the safe working loads had been published by the Australian Institute of Steel Construction. The ratio of limit states design capacity to working stress design safe working load is in the range 1·25-2·32, which may be compared with the typical range of load factors (1·2-1·5) for design load levels.
