This connection makes the connections with a splice in columns and beams.
With quick drawing mode turned on;
Click on Splice Connection from the Connection menu.
In 3D perspective view, move the mouse pointer closer to the element, close to the support
After this process, the virtual image of the connection will appear.
If the connection is suitable, create the connection by clicking the left mouse button.
The connection will occur with default settings.
Quick drawing mode is off;
Click on Splice Connection from the Connection menu.
Click the column then the beam before the 3D perspective view.
The connection will occur with default settings.
Double-click the connection to change settings. The connection dialog will open.
Type Tab
The splice connection can be selected as welded, bolted or mixed.
Plates Tab
The dimensions of the splice connection can be arranged according to the illustrations in the schematic drawing. If needed, shims can be added to the body and head.
Flange Bolts Tab
Determine the distances between bolts according to the schematic representation given.
Bolt properties: Bolt grade, bolt size and hole properties are set in bolt properties.
Web Bolts Tab
Determine the distances between bolts according to the schematic representation given.
Bolt properties: Bolt grade, bolt size and hole properties are set in bolt properties.
Welds 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".
