' Connection design method ' dependencies: For ' ASD9 ' or ' LRFD3 ': A single-plate shear connection's maximum plate thickness is half the bolt diameter plus 1/16 of an inch ( LRFD, Third Edition, pg. If this box is not checked ( ), connection design applies the AISC design check and fails single-plate shear connections that do not meet it. From this list, you can open individual Beam Review windows. A special Search for Non-AISC Single-Plate Shear Connections can be used to get a list of all beams with non-AISC single-plate shear connections. If this box is checked ( ), the design check for this maximum thickness is turned off so that connection design will not fail shear plates that are thicker than this.

' See below for an explanation of design method dependencies. This applies when ' ASD9 ' or ' LRFD3 ' or ' ASD13 ' or ' ASD14 ' or ' LRFD13 ' or ' LRFD14 ' is the ' Connection design method. ' kip-ft ' indicates that kip-ft are the units that are used for the ' Moment load ' on a beam.ĭesign non-AISC single-plate shear connections: or. This also affects the value (and units) that are shown on the Connection Design Calculations Report or Expanded Connection Design Calculations Report. ' kip-in ' indicates that kip-in are the units that are used for the ' Moment load ' on a beam. This appears as an option here only when the primary dimension ' Units ' are set to one of the choices for ' Imperial. The percentage entered (below) to ' Base beam design moment on % of maximum allowable moment ' is applied to either the beam's ' Elastic ' or ' Plastic ' moment strength, depending on the choice made here. The choice made here affects the calculated design moment applied during connection design of a moment connections when ' Auto ' is selected as the ' Moment load ' on the Beam Edit window. In Modeling in a full-featured SDS2 program. ' The other design methods use the plastic moment capacity. This applies when ' ASD9 ' is the ' Connection design method. This is generally the preferred choice for European users of SDS2 programs.ĭesign method for moment connections: Elastic or Plastic. ' 5 mm ' instructs connection design to round plate lengths and widths up to the nearest 5 millimeter increment. Canadian users of SDS2 programs may prefer this option. ' 1 mm ' instructs connection design to round plate lengths and widths up to the nearest millimeter. It sets the rounding method that connection design will apply when setting the lengths and widths of shear plates, bent plates, end plates, auto base/cap plates, stiffener plates, etc. This applies when the primary dimension ' Units ' are set to ' Metric '. CISC stands for Canadian Institute of Steel Construction. Note: AISC stands for American Institute of Steel Construction.
