Web Moment Connection - Shear tab

Used to set the set supporting front and back shapes for shear.
Setting Description
Left/ Right/ Both/ Neither Sets the placement of the Shear/ Stiffener Plate(s) relative to the X axis of the connecting member. Thickness disables all settings except the Back Stiffeners.
Values
  • Thickness ? Sets the thickness of the Shear/ Stiffener Plates.
  • Vertical Offset ? Sets the offset distance of the Plate and connecting shape. If neither of the following options are checked, the distance is measured from the Plate centerline to the axis center of the connecting shape. A negative value is not permitted.
  • From Edge ? When checked, the vertical offset is measured from the upper edge of the connecting shape to the upper edge of the Plate.
  • Lower Edge ? When checked, the vertical offset is measured from the lower edge of the connecting shape to the lower edge/boring of the Plate.
  • Up to First Bolt ? When checked, the vertical offset is measured from the upper edge of the connecting shape to the first boring of the Plate.
  • Upper/ Lower Edge Offset ? Sets the edge offset from the end of the Moment Plate.
Upper / Lower Corner
  • Chamfered / Filleted ? Sets one of the types of cut for the upper or lower corner of the Stiffener Plate.
  • Radius / Rise - Run ? Sets the distance relating to the cut. (Rise and Run, in case of Fillet corners).
Bolts
  • Bolt Type ? Sets the bolt style from the drop-down list.
  • Dia / Workloose ? Sets the hole diameter of the selected bolt from the drop-down list of bolt diameter table. The second field sets the clearance between bolt and hole diameter.
  • Additional Length ? Sets an additional length to the bolts extension outside the nut.
  • Bolt Material ? Sets the material to be used for the bolts selected from the drop-down list.
  • Weld ? When checked, the shapes are welded, instead of bolting.
  • Turn ? When checked, the bolt direction is inverted. Available when not welded.
Longitudinal Spacing
  • Number / Slot Length ? Sets the number of bolts to be placed on the X axis, and in the second field, sets the slot length.
  • Inner Distance (w1) ? Sets the distance from the start of the shape to the center of the first bolt.
  • Inner Distance (w2) ? Sets the distance from the end of the shape to the center of the last bolt.
  • Distance Between (w3) ? Sets the distance between the center of the bolts.
Transverse Spacing
  • Number of Bolts ? Sets the number of bolts to be placed on the Y axis.
  • Edge Distance (e1) ? Sets the distance from the edge of the shape to the center of the first bolt.
  • Distance Between (e2) ? Sets the distance between the center of the bolts.
