Moment connection types Beam splice Beam to column connection Corner connection
A few principles of connection design • Keep the load path as direct as possible • Connect the loaded fibres • Avoid tension perpendicular to grain stresses • Make use of compression load transfer as much as possible • Use steel elements when tension load transfer is necessary

Corner connection compression web tension web Shear can readily be transferred through bearing plates
Corner connection Connection with shear
Corner connection Large moments Connection with shear Embedded rods
Corner connection • A less desirable connection • Causes tension perpendicular to grain • Two connections with eccentricity
Sandwiched corner connection • A less desirable connection • Causes tension perpendicular to grain
