Simple
Connections

SCI P358: Simple Connections to Eurocode 3

- Beam-to-Beam and Beam-to-Column Connections
- Column Splices
- Column Bases
- Bracing Connections
- Special Connections

Pinned Beam-to-Beam and Beam-to-Column joints with bracing deliver economical and environmentally friendly structures.

Less material and standardised components make simple connection design the most common steel frame solution. Its potential for disassembly and reuse means it is the greenest too.

Although simple in name, applying the right joint design and fabrication approach to maximise advantages for individual projects can be less straightforward. Our structural engineers can guide you to the best design solution.

Moment
Connections

SCIP398 Moment Resisting Connections to Eurocode 3

- Bolted end plate connections between beams and columns, typically used in multi-storey frames.
- Bolted end connections, typically used in portal frames.
- Bolted splice connections.
- Welded connections between beams and columns.
- Column bases

Moment connections resist rotational force and reduce the need for structural bracing.

Moment transfer from beam-to-column is essential for continuous frame single-storey and multi-story structures. This type of connection produces cleaner aesthetic lines as required or where the provision of bracing needs to be avoided.

Our Structural Engineers advise and design across all moment connection techniques to find the right solution for your project.

Complicated
Connections

Need a complex structural solution? We design connections that step outside of the standard code blueprints.

As software modelling becomes more sophisticated, bespoke connection designs are now opening creative design possibilities for both private and commercial applications.

Our structural engineering team works with you and your architect to shape your vision whilst still ensuring structural integrity.

If you are unsure whether your building design is feasible due to potentially complex connections, please get in touch. The team will be happy to review your plans and provide feedback.
