What type of steel connection is the articulated connection suitable for?

 

articulated connection

The articulated connection is mainly used for the connection of beams and columns in steel structures, especially where it is necessary to allow the two structural members to rotate relative to each other within a certain range. This type of connection is usually used for flexible connections, in contrast to rigid and semi-rigid connections. In an articulated connection, the connecting nodes are not subjected to significant deformation of the connection angle, thus maintaining the overall stability and resistance of the structure.

Articulated structures usually use double angles, end plates, single shear plates and double shear plates as connectors.

In steel structures, it is usually used as a connection structure connecting primary and secondary beams, and can also be applied in the structural splicing of inclined beams. For example, double angles can be welded on both sides of the web of the secondary beam, and at the same time connected with the main beam by bolts to complete the connection between the main beam and the secondary beam. This type of connection can fully improve the load carrying capacity of the member through the design of three-sided welding.

In addition, articulated connection is also commonly used in the connection of devices or parts of machines, vehicles, doors, windows, artifacts and other parts, such as articulated trolley buses, articulated trucks, articulated buses and so on. In these applications, articulated connections allow relative movement between parts while maintaining the overall stability and functionality of the structure.

It should be noted that in actual projects, the selection and application of articulated connections need to be considered comprehensively according to the specific structural design, force characteristics and construction conditions. Therefore, it is recommended to consult professional structural engineers when designing steel structures to ensure that the appropriate connection is selected and meets the engineering requirements.
