Moment Connection Design or Rigid Connection design is made automatically according to the Design, Calculation and Construction Principles of Steel Structures (ÇYTHYEDY) (GKT and YDKT) and AISC 360-16 (ASD and LRFD) regulations. Bolt, weld and plate controls, geometry controls and strength controls are done automatically in accordance with the steel connection type.

Moment connection types are listed below.

Design Criteria for Moment Connections

...

  • The Vuc used in the dimensioning of the connection is determined according to the equation in the figure above by summing the shear force determined on the basis of the yielding limit state with the shear force calculated from the combination of 1.2G + 0.5Q + 0.2S on the plastic hinge at the end of the beam.

  • Plastic hinge length is specified separately for each connection in TBDY 2018 and automatic computation is made in accordance with these rules. Details will be given in each connection.

  • The shear strength required for the panel zone is calculated by using the column shear force generated by the possible plastic moments of the beams connecting to the column.
