Connections are an indispensable element of every steel structure because they enable easy and quick assembly of prefabricated structural elements on the construction site. The article covers the initial analysis of non-standard connections of steel I-beams in relation to commonly used connections in steel building structures. An analysis of beams with connections was carried out and a finite element test was performed for two beam mounting schemes: cantilevered and simply supported. The parameters tested were stresses, strains and initial rotational stiffness of the connections. The results showed that two of the four proposed non-standard connections were characterized by high load transfer efficiency and greater rotational stiffness compared to standard connections.
