| Galvanization holes
|
Sets the location of the galvanization holes to add
to the connection:
- None – No holes
are added.
- Web of
the connected beam – Additional holes are drilled in the web of the
connected beam of the Endplate connection.
- Endplate –
Additional holes are drilled in the Endplate.
|
| Galvanization hole type
|
(Active for
Endplate selection only).
Sets the hole pattern used for Endplate galvaniztion
holes.
- Center
hole –Single hole is added to the endplate, at the geometric center
of the connected beam.
- 2
holes – Two holes are added at opposing corners of the endplate.
- 4
holes – Four holes are added, one in each quadrant of the endplate.
|
| Distance from Flange
|
(Active for
Web of Connected Beam only).
Sets the distance from the inside of the connected
beam flange to the center of the galvanization holes in the web.
|
| Distance from Endplate
|
(Active for
Web of Connected Beam only).
Sets the distance from the endplate along the length
of the connected beam to the centerline of the galvanization holes in the web.
|
| X-Distance
|
(Active for
2 holes or
4 holes patterns in
Endplates only).
Sets the horizontal spacing (parallel to beam web)
of the galvanization holes, centered on the beam web. The default is calculated
as the connection beam flange thickness plus two times the hole diameter.
|
| Y-Distance
|
(Active for
2 holes or
4 holes patterns in
Endplates only).
Sets the vertical spacing (parallel to beam
flanges) of the galvanization holes, centered on mid-depth of the beam. The
default value is calculated as the connected beam height minus two times flange
thickness minus two times the hole diameter.
|
| Diameter
|
Sets the diameter of the galvanization holes in the
end plate or web of the connected beam.
Tip: The
standard hole diameter per
DIN EN ISO 1461 is 20 mm.
