It is crucial to properly erect & assemble the steel connections as they have been assumed in the analytical model.

Further the steel connection should not only satisfy the condition (fixed, pinned) but also factor in the ease on fabrication and assembly at site.

Hence it becomes important to sketch up the connection details as these are intended.

Here are some of the steel connections details (schematic) from one of my recent project.

Building information modeling (BIM) is used to develop the 3D structural model and prepare the fabrication & erection drawings.

Any comments or suggestions are welcomed.
