Steel frame buildings consist of a number of different types of structural elements. Every element must be attached properly to its neighbouring part of structure. This will involve use of various types of connections. Connections account for more than half the cost of structural steel work. Connection failure is not a ductile failure and hence it should be avoided before member failure. Large uncertainty is there in the design of connections. Connections are usually the most vulnerable part of the structure, failure of which may lead to the failure of whole structure. Thus, design of connection is an important and integral part of design of the steel structure. This MATLAB GUI program developed will be a very useful and user-friendly tool for the design of connections.
