CONNECTIONS IN STEEL STRUCTURES

Diplomska naloga obravnava dimenzioniranje spojev v jeklenih konstrukcijah v skladu s SIST EN 1993-1-8. Poudarek je predvsem na varjenih in vijačenih spojih, ki se v praksi najpogosteje uporabljajo. Dodatno so predstavljene določene, najbolj uporabne predpostavke za poenostavljeno dimenzioniranje spojev v skladu z Eurocode standardi. Dimenzioniranje spojev je prikazano z izračuni primerov, ki so izbrani tako, da za vsak primer prikažemo dve možni rešitvi spojitve. Na podlagi teh so nato razvidne prednosti in slabosti izbrane tehnike spajanja pri prenosu sil oziroma napetosti.This diploma thesis discusses the dimensioning process for structural steel connections in accordance with reference standards given in SIST EN 1993-1–8. To a large extent, the focus was placed on welded and screw joints, which are most common in practice. Furthermore, specific and the most useful assumptions for the simplified dimensioning of joints in accordance with the Eurocode standards are presented. The dimensioning process for structural steel connections is illustrated with calculations on a case basis, selected in such a way that for every case, two possible joint solutions are presented. Based on these, advantages and disadvantages of the selected joining technique with regard to force and tension distribution are showcased
