Abstract (en)

A steel structural connector, comprising a vertically-oriented connecting body for connecting to columns and a horizontally-oriented connecting body for connecting to beams, where one end of the horizontally-oriented connecting body is connected to the vertically-oriented connecting body. The vertically-oriented connecting body further includes sequentially arranged front sidewall, left sidewall, rear sidewall, and right sidewall. On at least one end of the vertically-oriented connecting body, there are several installation through-holes for connecting to columns. The vertically-oriented connecting body has installation through-holes on one end of each sidewall with an inwardly extending concave portion along the length direction of the vertically-oriented connecting body. The installation through-holes are placed within the concave portion. The present invention enhances the stability and structural strength of connections when used at locations with installation through-holes for external vertical components, while simultaneously connecting both horizontal and vertical components.
