Presentation Objectives

Which objective focuses on distinguishing connection types in steel frames?

• Sketch structural steel work connections

• Explain the nature of a steel frame

• Differentiate between a welded and bolted steel frame joint

• Compare steel frames with other frames

Which components primarily make up steel frame buildings as described?

• Horizontal steel beams and vertical columns welded in a rectangular grid

• Timber studs and plywood sheathing

• Reinforced concrete slabs and masonry walls

• Precast concrete panels connected by cables

Based on the image of the partially constructed building, which statement best explains how loads are managed in steel frame construction?

• Loads are carried by non-structural cladding while the frame is for aesthetics

• Horizontal beams transfer loads to vertical columns which carry them to the foundation

• Columns primarily support lateral loads while beams carry vertical loads to the façade

• Loads are distributed equally by the roof panels to the ground

In bolted steel construction, what primary advantage makes it a preferred approach?

• All fabrication must happen on-site, minimizing transport.

• Members are fabricated and painted on-site before lifting.

• Most fabrication can occur off-site in workshops, so on-site work is mainly lifting and bolting, making the process faster.

• It eliminates the need for trucks or trailers to deliver elements.

Which connection method in steel structures relies on threaded fasteners tightened with nuts to clamp members together, as depicted in the rightmost diagram?

• Welding connection

• Rivet connection

• Bolt connection

• Pin connection

In the middle diagram, what mechanical element is primarily used to join the overlapping steel plates?

• Bolts

• Rivets

• Weld beads

• Pins

Which connection method creates a metallurgical bond without mechanical fasteners?

• Bolt connection

• Rivet connection

• Welding connection

• Pin connection

For rapid field assembly and easy disassembly, which steel connection method is most suitable?

• Welding connection

• Rivet connection

• Bolt connection

• Brazing

Which connection method typically requires heating a metal pin and forming heads to secure plates?

• Bolt connection

• Rivet connection

• Welding connection

• Adhesive bonding

Which connection method is generally preferred when avoiding heat-affected zones in members?

• Welding connection

• Rivet connection

• Bolt connection

• Soldering
