Which of the following type of connections can be used in beam to girder connections only when there is sufficient web depth in the girder to provide for the seat angle?
Correct Answer: B — Seated connections (beam to beam)
Explanation:
Explanation: Understanding the Beam to Girder Connection Question Seated connections (beam to beam or beam to girder) are often used when there is a need to transfer loads effectively between beams or girders. In such connections, a seat angle is used to provide support to the beam, ensuring stability. However, the use of seat angles requires sufficient web depth in the girder to accommodate the angle and transfer the loads effectively.
