A splice connection design is a moment-transmitting connection formed by bolted or welded connecting plates of beam caps and bodies. It can be used as a beam attachment or column attachment. Bolt control, welding control, and plate control are made automatically according to the placement of the connection elements.
The splice connection design in ideCAD Structural is made automatically according to the Design, Calculation, and Construction Principles of Steel Structures (ÇYTHYEDY) or AISC 360-16 regulations, and the connection report is created.

In the calculation of the splice connection, the distance between the header and the body bolts, the horizontal and vertical edge distance, and the welding control are made under the geometry control. In strength control, heading and body bolts slip, cap and body bolt hole crushing, beam cap and body bolt hole crushing, header plate tensile yield and tensile failure, head plate block slip, beam head block slip, head plate pressure leak, body plate block slip and weld control.
