Types of Joints in Steel Structures – A Comprehensive Guide


1. Welded Joints

Description: Permanent connections formed by melting and fusing steel components.
Advantages:
✔ High strength & rigidity
✔ Seamless appearance
✔ Ideal for heavy-load structures
Applications: Bridges, high-rise buildings, and industrial plants.

2. Bolted Joints

Description: Components fastened using high-tensile bolts and nuts.
Advantages:
✔ Easy assembly & disassembly
✔ Adjustable for on-site modifications
✔ Cost-effective for large-scale projects
Applications: Prefabricated warehouses, stadiums, and modular buildings.

3. Riveted Joints (Traditional)

Description: Historical method using hot-driven rivets (less common today).
Advantages:
✔ Excellent vibration resistance
✔ Long-term durability
Applications: Heritage structures and heavy machinery supports.

4. Pinned (Hinged) Joints

Description: Allows rotational movement, reducing stress from thermal expansion.
Advantages:
✔ Flexibility under dynamic loads
✔ Prevents structural deformation
Applications: Truss systems, bridges, and seismic-resistant designs.

5. Moment-Resisting Joints

Description: Rigid connections that resist bending forces.
Advantages:
✔ Enhanced structural stability
✔ Used in earthquake-prone zones
Applications: Skyscrapers, industrial frames, and cantilevered structures.
