 1. Most structural failures are the result of poorly designed or
detailed connections.
2. In many cases, the connections are not designed by the
same engineer who designs the rest of the structure, but by
the steel fabricator who furnishes the material for the
project.
3. Modern steel structures are connected by welding or bolting
or by a combination of both.
4. A welded connection is often simpler in concept and requires
few, if any, holes. However, skilled workers are required for
welding, and inspection can be difficult and costly.
5. Quality welding can be more easily ensured under the
controlled conditions of a fabricating shop.
6. Welds are weak in shear and are usually assumed to fail in
shear, regardless of the direction of loading
