Abstract

The structural design codes of the different countries provide engineers with data and procedures for designing different structural components. In this paper, the American AISC, the Egyptian ECP, and the new European Code for Construction of Steel Structures (Eurocode 3) were compared in terms of design principles for bolted connections in steel buildings. This study focuses on the resistance capacity of connections in one of the following loading cases: axial tension, shear and axial tension and shear combinations. Similarities and variations in strength measures were recognized to allow rapid learning of the codes as well as the expressions and limits provided in ECP, EC3, and AISC codes. Analysis using simple tables and curves and design equations indicated that allowable stress and safety variables were directly correlated with one another wherever possible. A general program with Visual Basic.NET programming language was performed for reference. A steel program was created to obtain design connections and present design charts. Several diagrams were drawn.
