Slip-critical joint, from structural engineering, is a joint which relies on friction to hold two things in place. The most common slip-critical joint is where a girder meets a larger beam. Typically, an angle plate joins the two. One beam is welded to the angle plate, the other has holes which are generally oversized or slotted.

  • Slip-critical joint, from structural engineering, is a joint which relies on friction to hold two things in place. The most common slip-critical joint is where a girder meets a larger beam. Typically, an angle plate joins the two. One beam is welded to the angle plate, the other has holes which are generally oversized or slotted. The bolt through the plate doesn't actually take a lateral load as a shear joint or a bearing joint: it simply provides a beam-to-column moment connection with a damping mechanism through creating the friction effect between the two faces. The joint ensures that the load is applied to the structural members and not to the bolt, thus creating more favorable seismic loading conditions .
