General

Angular joint connection types:

  • Bolted splice joint 1-sided
  • Bolted splice joint 2-sided
  • Column-Beam 1-sided
  • Column-Beam 2-sided

 

It is necessary to select one of the variants for the joint connection creation. The setting of parameters for each of the two structural elements (column, beam, transversal beam) of the created connection:

Description

Section

 

-

List of available sections is dependent on technical modules. Could be extended on request, or by updating a product table. It allows to select the shape and dimensions of the joint connection structure sections. The restrictions and the rules for the different sections are used for design reason

Material

-

Steel material name is using for code check calculation and supported by EN 1993-1-1#Table 3.1 and related national annexes such as NEN-EN 1993-1-1#3.1. Items listed in a Material drop down list depend on chosen code or/and national annex

 

The d [mm] parameter means a distance between the beam and the connected member:
