Continuity plate  The purpose of the continuity plates is to support the column heads in the column-beam joints and to ensure the continuity of the beam head. Continuity plates are used for reinforcement in order to bend the column head and prevent column stem flow / wrinkle. If a continuity plate will be made, the option is marked. Continuity plate is determined by entering values. The values to be entered are shown in the schematic drawing. |

Welds Tab
...
Specifications |
|---|
Welds  The thickness, type and angle values of the welds to be made at the connections are given. The information on whether it will be done on the construction site or not is entered. |
Weld electrode  The strengths of the welding electrodes are defined in the design inputs. The strength of the main element in the weld joint is controlled under the condition that it has less strength than the weld strength. If necessary, click the list and define "Create New…". To create the welding electrode, give the information "Name" and "Weld metal tensile strength" in the dialog that opens after clicking "Create New". Welding geometry is determined automatically by the program. These properties can be changed to easily determine the joint properties. Geometry features are in accordance with industry standards and in the form specified in AISC. |
