Cost-Effective Steel Connection Design Tips by Samet Karataş is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides recommendations for designing economical and fabricator-friendly steel connections. It recommends that the structural engineer provide adequate load information on drawings and communicate well with fabricators. For shear connections, it recommends providing actual beam shear loads rather than overly conservative estimates. It also provides tips for connection design such as using oversized holes, limiting bolt sizes, avoiding field welding when possible, and minimizing weld volumes.
