Single Plate Connection

A single plate connection is a non-moment transfer connection (hear connection) that is bolted to the body of the profile and welded to the support. Bolt control, weld control and plate control are performed automatically according to the placement of the elements of the connection. Connection design with single plate is made automatically according to the Design AISC 360-16 (ASD and LRFD) regulations and the connection report is generated.

In the connection calculation with single plate, distance control between bolts, horizontal and vertical edge distance control, weld thickness control, mounting stability controls are made as geometry control. As a strength control, checks are made for shear in beam bolts, crushing in beam and plate bolt holes, plate shear yielding, beam and plate shear failure, plate block slip, plate bending buckling, plate bending yield, support welding strength.

Strength Checks

Bolt Shear at Beam

  • Calculation is made using Elastic method, one of the methods selected in the steel analysis settings tab. For the details of this calculation, AISC Manual 14th 7-8 is used as a reference.

  • In this calculation, the operation is performed on half of the symmetry axis and it is calculated to form a force pair with the required force.
