Support (above and below) properties
Depth, width, height, bottom fixity and top fixity define the supports. They can vary span by span.
Strip Wizard interprets a support with a width four or more times the depth as a wall. Otherwise, it is a column.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Depth | The support dimension parallel to the span. |
Width | The support dimension perpendicular to the span (enter zero for round columns). |
Height | The support’s height from its base to mid-depth of the floor. |
Bottom Fixity | The moment connection at the base of the support. |
Top Fixity | The moment connection between the support and the floor. |
