This combination is a column-beam connection. After the column and beam are defined;
With quick drawing mode turned on;
From the Steel menu, click on the line for 8 Bolt Joint with Rigid Face Plate.
In 3D perspective view, move the mouse pointer closer to the element, close to the support
After this process, the virtual image of the combination will appear.
If the combination is suitable, create the combination by clicking the left mouse button.
The combination will occur with default settings.
Quick drawing mode is off;
From the Steel menu, click on the line for 8 Bolt Joint with Rigid Face Plate.
Click the column then the beam before the 3D perspective view.
The combination will occur with default settings.
Double-click the combination to change settings. The unification dialog will open.
When the combination settings are changed, the changes can be followed simultaneously in the 3D view drawn in the dialog.
Type and Frontal Plates Tab
The features of the front plate are adjusted according to the schematic information given.
Stiffeners Tab
Determine the dimensions of the plate formed above and below the steel beam according to the schematic figure given.
Bolts Tab
The properties of the bolts connecting the front plate and the column body are set in this tab.
Determine the distances between bolts according to the schematic representation given.
Bolt properties: Bolt class, bolt diameter and hole properties are set in bolt properties.
Retaining Boards Tab
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. The geometric properties of the sheet are adjusted according to the schematic picture given.
If there will be a continuity plate, tick the option and give the dimensions.
Additional Sheets Tab
Body reinforcement board properties are set in this tab. If the column body thickness is insufficient, reinforcement plates are used to meet the shear effect of the panel area. If the body reinforcement plate will be made, the option is marked. The geometric properties of the sheet are adjusted according to the schematic picture given.
Cuts Tab
For easy assembly of the plates in the field, the use of slope, slope type and geometric properties are determined in the joint settings dialog.
Resources Tab
The source properties of the joints given in the schematic representation are set in the Resources tab. Give the thickness, type, angle values and mark the option whether to weld under construction site conditions.
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.
Design Entries Tab
In the design inputs, the plate material and the strength of the welding electrodes are defined. The condition that the main element in the weld joint has less strength than the weld strength is controlled.
If necessary, click the list and define "new plate material". To create the welding electrode, give the information "Name" and "Strength" in the dialog that opens after clicking "Create New".
