4 Bolts Stiffened End Plate Connection Design
The 4 Bolts Stiffened End Plate Connection is a type of moment-transmitting connection (rigid connection) which is bolted to the columns and welded to the beam and is a stiffening plate. Bolt control, weld control, plate control and connection application limits control are performed automatically according to the placement of the elements of the connection. The 4 Bolts Stiffened End Plate Connection Design 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. Connection detail application limits are checked according to TBDY Table 9B.1.
In the calculation of the 4 Bolts Stiffened End Plate Connection, the horizontal and vertical bolt distances, end plate weld thickness, continuity plate weld thickness and application limits are checked under geometry control. In strength checks, bolt diameter, end plate thickness, end plate shear yield, end plate shear failure, reinforcement plate weld thickness, slip on support bolts, bolt hole crush on end plate, bolt hole crush on column head, butt plate weld thickness, column head thickness, column panel zone slip and slip zone thickness control.
