And that means something – IDEA StatiCa is used by over 3500 customers who share more than 4000 unique IDEA StatiCa projects <strong>every month</strong>.</p>\n<p>How did we get from number 10 to 20? The sheer volume of new functionalities seems to justify the “+10,” but the reason is more straightforward – align the numbering with year count. In 2020, we release IDEA StatiCa 20.</p>\n<p>This version brings an exceptional volume of new features and improvements. All that with our focus to enable engineers to work faster, evaluate the requirements of the national code thoroughly, and use the optimal amount of material. Highlights are:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>New online licensing system – no more hassle with installation</li>\n <li>IDEA StatiCa can now generate “sketches” to speed up the detailing process</li>\n <li>110 new connection templates added to the starting wizard</li>\n <li>Steel-to-timber connections can now be designed and checked</li>\n <li>Cross-section databases are now automatically filtered based on your regional settings</li>\n <li>Hong Kong and Indian codes are now supported</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We hope you will enjoy all our new features and improvements and would love to hear your feedback anytime. </p>\n<p>BTW, expect a little break from new features in Steel for the rest of the year. The 2020 autumn release will be focused on Concrete and BIM.</p>\n<p>Calculate yesterday’s estimates!</p>"

"value": "<h3>Introduction</h3>\n<p>Bar members are preferred by engineers when designing steel structures. However, there are many locations on the structure where the theory of members is not valid, e.g., welded joints, bolted connections, footing, holes in walls, the tapering height of cross-section and point loads. The structural analysis in such locations is difficult and it requires special attention. The behavior is non-linear and the nonlinearities must be respected, e.g., yielding of the material of plates, contact between end plates or base plate and concrete block, one-sided actions of bolts and anchors, welds. Design codes, e.g. EN1993-1-8, and also technical literature offer engineering solution methods. Their general feature is derivation for typical structural shapes and simple loadings. The method of components is used very often.</p>\n<h4>Component method</h4>\n<p>The component method (CM) solves the joint as a system of interconnected items – components. The corresponding model is built per each joint type to be able to determine forces and stresses in each component – see the following picture.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"cedfb2e2-64f2-40c2-8fec-92c8ad55a3ed\" data-image-id=\"cedfb2e2-64f2-40c2-8fec-92c8ad55a3ed\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/46167222-5959-469c-8c60-8a14b0148787/General%20introduction%20for%20structural%20design%20of%20steel%20connections.png\" data-asset-id=\"cedfb2e2-64f2-40c2-8fec-92c8ad55a3ed\" data-image-id=\"cedfb2e2-64f2-40c2-8fec-92c8ad55a3ed\" alt=\"IDEA StatiCa Connection theoretical background for the advanced structural design of steel connections.

As the proper model must be created for each joint type, the method usage has limits when solving joints of general shapes and general loads.</p>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa together with a project team of Department of Steel and Timber Structures of Faculty of Civil Engineering in Prague and Institute of Metal and Timber Structures of Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Brno University of Technology, developed a method for advanced design of steel structural joints.</p>\n<p><strong>Component Based Finite Element Model</strong> (<a href=\"https://www.cbfem.com/\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CBFEM</a>) method is:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>General</strong> enough to be usable for most of the joints, footings, and details in engineering practice.</li>\n <li><strong>Simple and fast</strong> enough in daily practice to provide results in a time comparable to current methods and tools.</li>\n <li><strong>Comprehensive</strong> enough to provide structural engineer clear information about joint behavior, stress, strain, and reserves of individual components and about overall safety and reliability.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The CBFEM method is based on the idea that most of the verified and very useful parts of CM should be kept. The weak point of CM – its generality when analyzing stresses of individual components – was replaced by modeling and analysis using the Finite Element Method (FEM).</p>\n<p>FEM is a general method commonly used for structural analysis. The usage of FEM for modeling of joints of any shapes seems to be ideal (Virdi, 1999). The elastic-plastic analysis is required, as the steel ordinarily yields in the structure. In fact, the results of the linear analysis are useless for joint design.</p>\n<p>FEM models are used for research purposes of joint behavior, which usually apply spatial elements and measured values of material properties.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"ea4a8ae4-b44a-4176-a7df-1b27731870ab\" data-image-id=\"ea4a8ae4-b44a-4176-a7df-1b27731870ab\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/f4350bd3-6406-41af-bb2b-ad67a241fade/T-stub-research.png\" data-asset-id=\"ea4a8ae4-b44a-4176-a7df-1b27731870ab\" data-image-id=\"ea4a8ae4-b44a-4176-a7df-1b27731870ab\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>FEM model of a joint for research.

The resultant of forces from all members in the joint is zero – the whole joint is in equilibrium.</p>\n<p>The real shape of a joint is not known in the structural model. The engineer only defines whether the joint is assumed to be rigid or hinged.</p>\n<p>It is necessary to create a trustworthy model of joint, which respect the real state, to design the joint properly. The ends of members with the length of a 2-3 multiple of maximal cross-section height are used in the CBFEM method.

Sextuplets of forces from the theoretical joint are transferred to the end of the segment – the values of forces are kept, but the moments are modified by the actions of forces on corresponding arms.</p>\n<p>The segment ends at the joint are not connected. The connection must be modeled. So-called manufacturing operations are used in the CBFEM method to model the connection. Manufacturing operations are especially: cuts, offsets, holes, stiffeners, ribs, end plates and splices, cleats, gusset plates, and others. Fastening elements (welds and bolts) are also added.</p>\n<p><a data-item-id=\"b0a659df-8f92-4d1f-abb6-2efa02bad946\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Connection</a> can perform two types of analysis:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Geometrically linear analysis with material and contact nonlinearities for stress and strain analysis,</li>\n <li>Eigenvalue analysis to determine the possibility of buckling.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>In the case of connections, the geometrically nonlinear analysis is not necessary unless plates are very slender.

"value": "<p>Increase in number of elements provides more precise results but at the cost of higher computational demand.</p>\n<h4>Plate model</h4>\n<p>Shell elements are recommended for modeling of plates in the FEA of structural connection. 4-node quadrangle shell elements with nodes at its corners are applied. Six degrees of freedom are considered in each node: 3 translations (<em>u</em><sub>x</sub>, <em>u</em><sub>y</sub>, <em>u</em><sub>z</sub>) and 3 rotations (<em>φ</em><sub>x</sub>, <em>φ</em><sub>y</sub>, <em>φ</em><sub>z</sub>). Deformations of the element are divided into the membrane and the flexural components.</p>\n<p>The formulation of the membrane behavior is based on the work by Ibrahimbegovic (1990). Rotations perpendicular to the plane of the element are considered. Complete 3D formulation of the element is provided. The out-of-plane shear deformations are considered in the formulation of the flexural behavior of an element based on Mindlin hypothesis. Our inhouse stabilised variant of Mindlin quad plate element with constat shear deforamtion along edge are applied. The elements are inspired by MITC4 elements; see Dvorkin (1984). The shell is divided into five integration layers through thickness of the plate at each integration point and plastic behavior is analyzed in each point. It is called Gauss–Lobatto integration. The nonlinear elastic-plastic stage of material is analyzed in each layer based on the known strains. Only the maximum stresses and strains of all layers are shown.</p>\n<h4>Mesh convergence</h4>\n<p>There are some criteria for the mesh generation in the connection model. The connection check should be independent of the element size. Mesh generation on a separate plate is problem-free. Attention should be paid to complex geometries such as stiffened panels, T-stubs, and base plates. The sensitivity analysis considering mesh discretization should be performed for complicated geometries.</p>\n<p>All plates of a beam cross-section have a common division into elements. The size of generated finite elements is limited. The minimal element size is set to 10 mm and the maximal element size to 50 mm (can be set in Code setup). Meshes on flanges and webs are independent of each other. The default number of finite elements is set to 8 elements per cross-section height as shown in the following figure. The user can modify the default values in Code setup.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"56b04327-298f-4d82-9f7d-0c066664772c\" data-image-id=\"56b04327-298f-4d82-9f7d-0c066664772c\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/82635179-c288-44ba-bf8d-c12b80a32766/Structural%20design%20of%20a%20steel%20connection%20-%20Plate%20model%20and%20mesh%20convergence.png\" data-asset-id=\"56b04327-298f-4d82-9f7d-0c066664772c\" data-image-id=\"56b04327-298f-4d82-9f7d-0c066664772c\" alt=\"IDEA StatiCa Connection theoretical background for the advanced structural design of steel connections.

"value": "<p>There exist several options for how to treat welds in numerical models. The large deformations make the mechanical analysis more complex, and it is possible to use different mesh descriptions, different kinetic and kinematic variables, and constitutive models. The different types of geometric 2D and 3D models and thereby finite elements with their applicability for different accuracy levels are generally used. The most often used material model is the common rate-independent plasticity model based on the von Mises yield criterion. Two approaches that are used for welds are described. Residual stress and deformation caused by welding are not assumed in the design model.</p>\n<p>The load is transmitted through force-deformation constraints based on the Lagrangian formulation to the opposite plate. The connection is called multi-point constraint (MPC) and relates the finite element nodes of one plate edge to another. The finite element nodes are not connected directly. The advantage of this approach is the ability to connect meshes with different densities. The constraint allows modeling the midline surface of the connected plates with the offset, which respects the real weld configuration and throat thickness. The load distribution in the weld is derived from the MPC, so the stresses are calculated in the throat section. This is important for the stress distribution in the plate under the weld and for modeling of T-stubs.</p>\n<h4>Plastic stress redistribution in welds</h4>\n<p>The model with only multi-point constraints does not respect the stiffness of the weld, and the stress distribution is conservative. Stress peaks that appear at the end of plate edges, in corners, and rounding, govern the resistance along the whole length of the weld. To eliminate the effect, a special elastoplastic element is added between the plates. The element respects the weld throat thickness, position, and orientation. The equivalent weld solid is inserted with the corresponding weld dimensions. The nonlinear material analysis is applied, and elastoplastic behavior in equivalent weld solid is determined. The plasticity state is controlled by stresses in the weld throat section. The stress peaks are redistributed along the longer part of the weld length.</p>\n<p>The elastoplastic model of welds gives real values of stress, and there is no need to average or interpolate the stress. Calculated values at the most stressed weld element are used directly for checks of the weld component. This way, there is no need to reduce the resistance of multi-oriented welds, welds to unstiffened flanges, or long welds.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" data-image-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0bd27c97-ebab-4887-9fc1-d9027cdf3df8/Structural%20design%20of%20a%20steel%20connection%20-%20Welds.png\" data-asset-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" data-image-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" alt=\"IDEA StatiCa Connection theoretical background for the advanced structural design of steel connections.

"value": "<p>It's interesting how different approaches to the same structure we could find throughout the regions, companies, or even between different designers. While some would weld everything together without thinking about a single bolt, others would cut the structure into several parts and connect everything together with dozens of bolts. Both approaches to connecting the structural members have their pros and cons. </p>\n<p>Purely welded connections are stiffer than bolted connections and are thus considered to be safer or can reduce deflections. But then some experienced (meaning expensive) welder has to be somewhere on site, safely hanged in the space, often in inhospitable weather. The weld quality checks are sometimes not even possible, and the less precise work brings obviously higher material costs.</p>\n<p>The workshop welding on the other hand may be more precise, it also requires transporting to the site. And onsite welding is often expensive in implementation and over-usage of welding materials. Read on to learn which approach best suits your projects.</p>\n<p>You already know that IDEA StatiCa can help you calculate not only the stiffness of the weld connections but also estimate the costs of the connection depending on the weld type, etc. That is not something new under the sun. <a data-item-id=\"dc6882ef-317b-417a-b684-943901355f3d\" href=\"\">You can read one of our articles about the connection cost calculation</a>. </p>\n<p>But we also believe that connection designs should be as precise as possible while securing sufficient connection resistance. And one of our features can help you exactly with this. </p>\n<h2>Designing contact between column and base plate</h2>\n<p>Imagine you need to design a steel column welded to its base plate. The load must be transferred from the upper structure to the foundations. In certain countries, it is possible to include the contact between the column and its base plate when evaluating the compressive strength of the connection.</p>\n<p>In most standards, such as Eurocode, the load is assumed to flow through the welds only. Therefore, the welds must be designed so that they resist the full compressive force from the structure above. Nevertheless, you can imagine that there exists a certain contact between the base of the column and its baseplate even before these two are welded together.</p>\n<p>In some regions, the technical guides allow taking this contact into account when evaluating the compressive resistance. Of course, there are certain criteria to be fulfilled so that it is permitted to use this approach. Then, the contact brings an additional resistance to the compressive strength of the base weld which leads to a more economical design of the welds.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"eb79d5c6-d879-4afb-a5c1-5df03982810a\" data-image-id=\"eb79d5c6-d879-4afb-a5c1-5df03982810a\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2a16ecdf-f660-47b6-bb32-9b9aeecf3314/6.png\" data-asset-id=\"eb79d5c6-d879-4afb-a5c1-5df03982810a\" data-image-id=\"eb79d5c6-d879-4afb-a5c1-5df03982810a\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The <a data-item-id=\"68076977-c9aa-4fa5-b726-09433e204c2b\" href=\"\">model of the weld</a> will then be set to have high stiffness. Once it starts to yield (i.e. to deform plastically), the contact is activated and the compression is taken by the contact. This leads to significant values of the stress in the weld even if the contact is applied. However, importantly, the resistance of the weld in shear is not decreased. The weld is not checked in compression anymore as this is taken by the contact but the tension and shear are still assigned to the weld and the appropriate checks are conducted.</p>\n<p>Practically speaking, you will add a contact <strong>and</strong> a weld on the appropriate edges of the member (the column in this instance) at the same time. From the load transfer perspective, the contact will be effective in compression only while the welds will transfer shear and tension forces. Both operations are available under the “Weld or contact” manufacturing operation.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"29614fc0-aa03-499c-b343-7c518253d397\" data-image-id=\"29614fc0-aa03-499c-b343-7c518253d397\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/d7f5114a-1fcd-4da4-9496-44a11d412653/1.png\" data-asset-id=\"29614fc0-aa03-499c-b343-7c518253d397\" data-image-id=\"29614fc0-aa03-499c-b343-7c518253d397\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>This is what you will see in IDEA StatiCa Connection:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>A red line representing the compressive contact is combined with a yellow line used to indicate the welds (when the transparent view is activated)</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"9a6d9cfe-6a47-4004-ac16-16dc15eadf5d\" data-image-id=\"9a6d9cfe-6a47-4004-ac16-16dc15eadf5d\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/6af8d357-08a5-4696-bc89-3f5b3938463a/5.png\" data-asset-id=\"9a6d9cfe-6a47-4004-ac16-16dc15eadf5d\" data-image-id=\"9a6d9cfe-6a47-4004-ac16-16dc15eadf5d\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<ul>\n <li>In the results and reports, a down-facing arrow has been added next to the rectangle symbol of the fillet weld</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"49e646c3-621b-4946-98c5-3330d6b697dc\" data-image-id=\"49e646c3-621b-4946-98c5-3330d6b697dc\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/40b0ff4a-152f-4245-af7e-7424793620db/7.png\" data-asset-id=\"49e646c3-621b-4946-98c5-3330d6b697dc\" data-image-id=\"49e646c3-621b-4946-98c5-3330d6b697dc\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>You can apply any type of fillet weld in combination with the contact (i.e. continuous, partial, or intermittent).

The bolt model used in CBFEM is described and verified to several steel design codes. The load resistance and deformation capacity are also compared to the main experimental research programs.</p>\n<p>In the Component-Based Finite Element Method (CBFEM), bolt with its behavior in tension, shear, and bearing is the component described by the dependent nonlinear springs. The bolt in tension is described by spring with its axial initial stiffness, design resistance, initialization of yielding, and deformation capacity. For the initialization of yielding and deformation capacity, it is assumed that plastic deformation occurs in the threaded part of the bolt shank only.</p>\n<p>In our Theoretical background, you can find <a data-item-id=\"c2cc67f3-4000-4959-a195-b28becf63f2a\" href=\"\">more information on how the CBFEM method describes and verifies bolts</a>.

So far, IDEA StatiCa supports eight design codes where design and/or detailing of bolts and preloaded bolts are being solved. </p>\n<h3>Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to Eurocode</h3>\n<p>The initial stiffness and design resistance of bolts in shear are in CBFEM modeled according to Cl. 3.6 and 6.3.2 in EN 1993-1-8. The spring representing bearing and tension has a bi-linear force-deformation behavior with an initial stiffness and design resistance according to Cl. 3.6 and 6.3.2 in EN 1993-1-8.</p>\n<p><strong>Detailing </strong></p>\n<p>Checks of bolts is performed if the option is selected in Code setup. Dimensions from bolt center to plate edges and between bolts are checked. Edge distance <em>e</em> = 1.2 and spacing between bolts <em>p</em> = 2.2 are recommended in Table 3.3 in EN 1993-1-8. Users can modify both values in the Code setup.</p>\n<h3>Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to AISC</h3>\n<p>The forces in bolts are determined by finite element analysis. The tensile forces include prying forces. The bolt resistances are checked according to AISC 360 - Chapter J3.</p>\n<p><strong>Detailing </strong></p>\n<p>The minimum spacing between bolts and distance to the bolt center to an edge of a connected part is checked. The minimum spacing 2.66 times (editable in Code setup) the nominal bolt diameter between centers of bolts is checked according to AISC 360-16 – J.3.3. The minimum distance to the bolt center to an edge of a connected part is checked according to AISC 360-16 – J.3.4; the values are in Table J3.4 and J3.4M.</p>\n<h3>Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to other standards</h3>\n<ul>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-and-preloaded-bolts-according-to-cisc\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to CISC (Canada)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-and-preloaded-bolts-according-to-chinese-standard\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to Chinese standard (GB)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-according-to-hong-kong-code\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts according to Hong Kong Code (HKG)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-according-to-is-800\">Check of preloaded bolts according to IS 800 (India)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-and-preloaded-bolts-according-to-sp\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to SP (Russia)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-and-preloaded-bolts-according-to-as\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to AS (Australia)</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Bolt detailing </h2>\n<p><strong>How to set the distances</strong></p>\n<p>Edge distances used for bolt bearing resistance must be relevant for general plate geometries, plates with openings, cutouts, etc.</p>\n<p>The algorithm reads the real direction of the resulting shear force vector in a given bolt and then calculates the distances needed for the bearing check.</p>\n<p>The end (<em>e</em><sub>1</sub>) and edge (<em>e</em><sub>2</sub>) distances are determined by dividing the plate contour into three segments. The end segment is indicated by a 60° range in the direction of the force vector. The edge segments are defined by two 65° ranges perpendicular to the force vector.

"value": "<h2>Weld model according to CBFEM</h2>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa has a unique method in its solver, the Component-based Finite Element Method (CBFEM). The weld model used in <a data-item-id=\"6e068636-6a02-5d0e-89ad-6dcff4e21151\" href=\"\">CBFEM</a> is described and verified to several steel design codes. The load resistance and deformation capacity are also compared to the main experimental research programs.</p>\n<p>There are several options on how to treat welds in numerical models. The large deformations make the mechanical analysis more complex and it is possible to use different mesh descriptions, different kinetic and kinematic variables, and constitutive models. Generally, different types of geometric 2D and 3D models and thereby finite elements with their applicability for different accuracy levels are used. The most often applied material model is the common rate-independent plasticity model based on <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Mises_yield_criterion\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">von Mises yield criterion</a>. Residual stress and deformation caused by welding are not assumed in the design model.</p>\n<p>The load is transmitted through force-deformation constraints based on the Lagrangian formulation to the opposite plate. The connection is called multi-point constraint (MPC) and relates the finite element nodes of one plate edge to another edge or surface. The finite element nodes are not connected directly. The advantage of this approach is the ability to connect meshes with different densities. The constraint allows to model midline surface of the connected plates with the offset, which respects the real weld configuration and throat thickness. The load distribution in the weld is derived from the MPC, so the stresses are calculated in the throat section. This is important for the stress distribution in the plate under the weld and for modeling of T-stubs.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" data-image-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0bd27c97-ebab-4887-9fc1-d9027cdf3df8/Structural%20design%20of%20a%20steel%20connection%20-%20Welds.png\" data-asset-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" data-image-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" alt=\"IDEA StatiCa Connection theoretical background for the advanced structural design of steel connections.

The new IDEA StatiCa version 20.1, released in October 2020, brought several improvements to ease the engineer's life and speed up the design process. </p>\n<h3>Export of recommended welds</h3>\n<p>Sometimes, during the modeling process in CAD software, a few welds might be omitted or not imported correctly. For such situations, there is now an option to add recommended welds. When you choose this option, a check for potentially missing welds is performed. Such welds are then added and imported along with the rest of the components. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"66cc6cf4-0454-4973-80d1-c036df7af58d\" data-image-id=\"66cc6cf4-0454-4973-80d1-c036df7af58d\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/e38caf39-0947-4aff-be81-7d3eb57ada99/Screenshot%202020-10-05%20122254.png\" data-asset-id=\"66cc6cf4-0454-4973-80d1-c036df7af58d\" data-image-id=\"66cc6cf4-0454-4973-80d1-c036df7af58d\" alt=\"Export of recommended welds\"></figure>\n<h3>Missing weld check</h3>\n<p>To avoid <a data-item-id=\"9831da0e-b8f1-415e-9654-03ffa0408086\" href=\"\">singularity on your connection</a>, once the connection is transferred to IDEA StatiCa, it is good to check if there are not any missing welds in the joint. For this purpose, we have added another useful tool to automatically help the user to find non-welded parts of the connection.

The validity of results is shown on a set of examples for each design code. The finite element model is being generated automatically, which is a great advantage to general FEM programs. Recently, several improvements were added to speed up the connection import process from CAD software.</p>\n<p>Welds are a great way to assemble steel connections but engineers need an accurate and fast tool for their design and code-check. That is why to use IDEA StatiCa in your projects. </p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n2a3bd364_53ec_01d9_4480_103be7b196bf\"></object>\n<p>If you want to improve your connection design skills, why not try our <a data-item-id=\"3e6d7716-0c0c-4aa5-b3f1-bbc0bededcbc\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Campus</a> online training?</p>"

"value": "<h4>Design model</h4>\n<p>In CBFEM, it is convenient to simplify the concrete block as 2D contact elements. The connection between the concrete and the base plate resists in compression only. Compression is transferred via the Winkler-Pasternak subsoil model, representing deformations of the concrete block. The tension force between the base plate and concrete block is carried by the anchor bolts. The shear force is transferred by friction between a base plate and a concrete block, by shear key and by bending of anchor bolts and friction. The resistance of bolts in shear is assessed analytically. Friction and shear key are modeled as a full single point constraint in the plane of the base plate – concrete contact.</p>\n<h4>Deformation stiffness</h4>\n<p>The stiffness of the concrete block may be predicted for the design of column bases as an elastic hemisphere. A Winkler-Pasternak subsoil model is commonly used for a simplified calculation of foundations. The stiffness of subsoil is determined using modulus of elasticity of concrete and the effective height of a subsoil as:</p>\n<p>\\[ k = \\frac{E_c}{(\\alpha_1 + \\upsilon) \\sqrt{\\frac{A_{eff}}{A_{ref}}}} \\left( \\frac{1}{\\frac{h}{a_2 d} + a_3}+a_4 \\right) \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>k</em> – stiffness of concrete subsoil in compression</li>\n <li><em>E</em><sub>c</sub> – modulus of elasticity of concrete</li>\n <li><em>υ</em> – Poisson's coefficient of the concrete block</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>eff</sub> – effective area in compression</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>ref</sub> = 1 m<sup>2</sup> – reference area</li>\n <li><em>d</em> – base plate width</li>\n <li><em>h</em> – concrete block height</li>\n <li><em>a</em><sub>1</sub> = 1.65; <em>a</em><sub>2</sub> = 0.5; <em>a</em><sub>3</sub> = 0.3; <em>a</em><sub>4</sub> = 1.0 – coefficients</li>\n</ul>\n<p>SI units must be used in the formula, the resulting unit is N/m<sup>3</sup>.</p>\n<h3>Transfer of shear load at the base plate</h3>\n<p>The shear load at the base plate can be transferred by three means:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Friction</li>\n <li>Shear lug</li>\n <li>Anchors</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Users can choose the mean by editing the base plate operation. No combination of means is allowed in the software, however, EN 1993-1-8 – Cl. 6.2.2 and Fib 58 – Chapter 4.2 allows for the combination of shear transfer by anchors and friction under certain conditions. In general, it is conservative to neglect friction in the anchorage design, although it may in some cases lead to an underestimation of concrete cracking at the serviceability level. As a rule, frictional resistance should be neglected if:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>the thickness of the grout layer exceeds one-half the anchor diameter,</li>\n <li>the anchorage capacity is governed by a near-edge condition,</li>\n <li>the anchorage is intended to resist earthquake loads.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The combination with a shear lug should never be allowed due to the deformation compatibility.</p>\n<h4>Transfer of shear load by friction</h4>\n<p>The shear resistance equals the resistance safety factor multiplied by friction coefficient editable in Code setup and compressive load. The compressive load includes all forces, e.g. in case of a column base loaded by compressive force and bending moment, the compressive load used for frictional shear resistance might be higher than the applied compressive force.</p>\n<h4>Transfer of shear load by shear lug</h4>\n<p>The shear lug is simulated as a stub encased in concrete under the base plate. The shear load is estimated to be transferred by uniform load distribution acting on the whole portion of the shear lug embedded in the concrete block, i.e. all nodes of the shear lug below the concrete surface are uniformly loaded. The portion of the shear lug above the concrete surface in grout is not assumed to transfer the shear load.</p>\n<p>Be aware that the lever arm between the applied shear load (at the base plate) and the shear resistance (half-height of the shear lug embedded in concrete) causes a bending moment which must be transferred by compressive force in concrete and tensile forces in anchors.</p>\n<p>The shear lug consists of shell finite elements and is checked as regular plates. Also, the welds of the shear lug to the base plate are checked using standard procedures in <a data-item-id=\"b0a659df-8f92-4d1f-abb6-2efa02bad946\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Connection</a>. Manual calculation usually assumes beam theory for the shear lug, although it is not accurate because the length to width ratio is very small for shear lug. Therefore, there might be a significant difference between IDEA StatiCa Connection and manual calculation.</p>\n<h4>Transfer of shear load by anchors</h4>\n<p>The shear resistance is determined by the shear resistance of anchors. The steel resistance of anchors have elastoplastic load-deformation curve, but the concrete failure modes are considered as perfectly brittle.</p>"

This approach is specifically intended for scenarios where the base plate is perpendicular to the anchored member. When using this operation, anchors are generated automatically. Additionally, the shape of the base plate can be customized in the <strong>Editor</strong>, allowing modifications such as creating base plates with <strong>round edges</strong> to suit specific design needs and specifying <strong>slotted holes</strong> for anchors. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"4fcf31c7-5a06-4d65-a726-5c9dba9ae6ac\" data-image-id=\"4fcf31c7-5a06-4d65-a726-5c9dba9ae6ac\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/cbe53c8a-1766-48c4-985f-cb88e9baa492/Base%20plate%20operation.png\" data-asset-id=\"4fcf31c7-5a06-4d65-a726-5c9dba9ae6ac\" data-image-id=\"4fcf31c7-5a06-4d65-a726-5c9dba9ae6ac\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"292edc1f-9da4-421d-bf45-904209180666\" data-image-id=\"292edc1f-9da4-421d-bf45-904209180666\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/8bc894ba-a42e-4cbc-926a-88e8e59ac46b/Slotted%20holes.png\" data-asset-id=\"292edc1f-9da4-421d-bf45-904209180666\" data-image-id=\"292edc1f-9da4-421d-bf45-904209180666\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>For situations where the base plate is not perpendicular to the anchored member, the modeling process requires a different approach. In these cases, you must use the <strong>Stiffening plate</strong> operation to model the base plate and the <strong>Fastener grid</strong> <strong>or Contact</strong> operation to define the anchors. The stiffening plate is positioned in the required angle and location, and the fastener grid must be adjusted to the <strong>Anchor</strong> type. Then the number of connected items is changed to one and the the stiffening plate is defined as the selected item. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1ad41d64-a5d9-4feb-92dc-c5fa82b12301\" data-image-id=\"1ad41d64-a5d9-4feb-92dc-c5fa82b12301\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/baf203cd-0ec4-4252-92cf-bb4fb347eaf5/Stiffening%20plate%20as%20base%20plate.png\" data-asset-id=\"1ad41d64-a5d9-4feb-92dc-c5fa82b12301\" data-image-id=\"1ad41d64-a5d9-4feb-92dc-c5fa82b12301\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>In cases when the connection is already modeled in CAD software, you can import anchoring design using <a data-item-id=\"48d2251b-1818-4c19-bfa8-f89955c2e64a\" href=\"\">BIM links</a>.</p>\n<h4>Example of general anchoring using the stiffening plate</h4>\n<p>Watch the recording to learn how to design a custom vertical base plate of balcony railing into a concrete slab. </p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n9981410d_1a2b_012c_bc0e_923bc19fa0fb\"></object>\n<h3>Concrete block</h3>\n<p>The <a data-item-id=\"f697f64f-a1d7-4bce-8b21-0e61ad5c4abe\" href=\"\">concrete foundation</a> is limited to a rectangular shape, but its dimensions can be adjusted using offset values for each edge.

The average stress at the effective area determined by EN 1993-1-8 is used for compressive check.</p>\n<p>The resistance of concrete in 3D compression is determined based on EN 1993-1-8 by calculating the design bearing strength of concrete in the joint, <em>f</em><sub>jd</sub>, under the effective area, <em>A</em><sub>eff</sub>, of the base plate. The design bearing strength of the joint, <em>f</em><sub>jd</sub>, is evaluated according to Cl. 6.2.5 in EN 1993-1-8 and Cl. 6.7 in EN 1992-1-1. The grout quality and thickness is introduced by the joint coefficient, <em>β</em><sub>jd</sub>. For grout quality equal or better than the quality of the concrete block, <em>β</em><sub>jd</sub> = 1.0 is expected, EN 1993-1-8 recommends value <em>β</em><sub>jd</sub> = 0.67. The effective area, <em>A</em><sub>eff,cm</sub> under the base plate is estimated to be of the shape of the column cross-section increased by additional bearing width, <em>c</em>.</p>\n<p>\\[ c = t \\sqrt{\\frac{f_y}{3 f_{jd} \\gamma_{M0}}} \\]</p>\n<p>where <em>t</em> is the thickness of the base plate, <em>f</em><sub>y</sub> is the base plate yield strength, and <em>γ</em><sub>M0</sub> is the partial safety factor for steel.</p>\n<p>The effective area is calculated by iteration until the difference between the additional bearing widths of current and previous iteration |<em>c</em><sub>i</sub> – <em>c</em><sub>i–1</sub> | is less than 1 mm.

This area in compression, <em>A</em><sub>eff,FEM</sub>, allows determining the position of the neutral axis. The user can modify this area by editing “Effective area – influence of mesh size” in Code setup. The default value is 0.1 for which the verification studies were made. It is not recommended to decrease this value. Increasing this value makes the assessment of concrete bearing resistance safer. The value in Code setup determines the boundary of the area, <em>A</em><sub>eff,FEM</sub>, e.g. the value of 0.1 takes into account only areas where stress in concrete is higher than 0.1 times the maximum stress in concrete, <em>σ</em><sub>c,max</sub>. The intersection of the area in compression, <em>A</em><sub>eff,FEM</sub>, and the effective area, <em>A</em><sub>eff,cm</sub>, allows to assess the resistance for generally loaded column base of any column shape with any stiffeners and is labeled <em>A</em><sub>eff</sub>.

Two edges in the direction of the shear load are investigated, and the worst case is shown in the results.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"b5679c7f-4b3f-4112-8102-4901eafcd71f\" data-image-id=\"b5679c7f-4b3f-4112-8102-4901eafcd71f\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/a474081e-7cf0-4c58-a894-ab1f9acf233d/Concrete_edge.png\" data-asset-id=\"b5679c7f-4b3f-4112-8102-4901eafcd71f\" data-image-id=\"b5679c7f-4b3f-4112-8102-4901eafcd71f\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Investigated edges in dependence on the direction of the shear force resultant</em></p>\n<p>\\[ V_{Rd,c} = \\frac{V_{Rk,c}}{\\gamma_{Mc}} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>\\( V_{Rk,c}= V_{Rk,c}^0 \\cdot \\frac{A_{c,V}}{A_{c,V}^0} \\cdot \\psi_{s,V} \\cdot \\psi_{h,V} \\cdot \\psi_{ec,V} \\cdot \\psi_{\\alpha,V} \\cdot \\psi_{re,V} \\) – characteristic resistance of a fastener or a group of fasteners loaded towards the edge</li>\n <li>\\( V_{Rk,c}^0 = k_9 \\cdot d_{nom}^\\alpha \\cdot l_f^\\beta \\cdot f_{ck}^{0.5} \\cdot c_1^{1.5}\\) – initial value of the characteristic resistance of a fastener loaded perpendicular to the edge</li>\n <li><em>k</em><sub>9</sub> – factor taking into account concrete condition; <em>k</em><sub>9</sub> = 1.7 for cracked concrete, <em>k</em><sub>9</sub> = 2.4 for non-cracked concrete</li>\n <li>\\( \\alpha = 0.1 \\left ( \\frac{l_f}{c_1} \\right ) ^{0.5} \\)</li>\n <li>\\( \\beta = 0.1 \\left ( \\frac{d_{nom}}{c_1} \\right ) ^{0.2} \\)</li>\n <li><em>l</em><sub>f</sub> = min (<em>h</em><sub>ef</sub>, 12 <em>d</em><sub>nom</sub>) for <em>d</em><sub>nom</sub> ≤ 24 mm; <em>l</em><sub>f</sub> = min [<em>h</em><sub>ef</sub>, max (8 <em>d</em><sub>nom</sub>, 300 mm)] for <em>d</em><sub>nom</sub> > 24 mm – effective length of the anchor in shear</li>\n <li><em>h</em><sub>ef</sub> – embedment depth of the anchor in concrete</li>\n <li><em>c</em><sub>1</sub> – distance from the anchor to the investigated edge; for fastenings in a narrow, thin member, the effective distance \\( c'_1=\\max \\left \\{ \\frac{c_{2,max}}{1.5}, \\, \\frac{h}{1.5}, \\, \\frac{s_{2,max}}{3} \\right \\} \\) is used instead</li>\n <li><em>c</em><sub>2</sub> – smaller distance to the concrete edge perpendicular to the distance <em>c</em><sub>1</sub></li>\n <li><em>d</em><sub>nom</sub> – nominal anchor diameter</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>c,V</sub><sup>0</sup> = 4.5 <em>c</em><sub>1</sub><sup>2</sup> – area of a concrete cone of an individual anchor at the lateral concrete surface not affected by edges</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>c,V</sub> – actual area of the concrete cone of the anchorage at the lateral concrete surface </li>\n <li>\\(\\psi_{s,V} = 0.7+0.3 \\frac{c_2}{1.5 c_1} \\le 1.0 \\) – factor which takes account of the disturbance of the distribution of stresses in the concrete due to further edges of the concrete member on the shear resistance</li>\n <li>\\( \\psi_{h,V} = \\left ( \\frac{1.5 c_1}{h} \\right ) ^ {0.5} \\ge 1.0 \\) – factor which takes account of the fact that the shear resistance does not decrease proportionally to the member thickness as assumed by the ratio <em>A</em><sub>c,V</sub> / <em>A</em><sub>c,V</sub><sup>0</sup></li>\n <li>\\( \\psi_{ec,V} = \\frac{1}{1+2 e_V / (3c_1)} \\le 1 \\) – factor which takes account of a group effect when different shear loads are acting on the individual anchors of a group</li>\n <li>\\( \\psi_{\\alpha,V} = \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{(\\cos \\alpha_V)^2 + (0.5 \\sin \\alpha_V)^2}} \\ge 1 \\) – takes account of the angle <em>α</em><sub>V</sub> between the load applied, <em>V</em>, and the direction perpendicular to the free edge of the concrete member</li>\n <li><em>ψ</em><sub>re,V</sub> = 1.0 – factor takes account of the effect of the type of reinforcement used in cracked concrete</li>\n <li><em>h</em> – concrete block height</li>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>Mc</sub> = <em>γ</em><sub>c</sub> – partial safety factor (EN 1992-4 – Table 4.1, <em>γ</em><sub>inst</sub> = 1.0 for shear loading)</li>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>c</sub> – partial safety factor for concrete (editable in Code setup)</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>Interaction of tension and shear in steel (EN 1993-1-8 – Table 3.4)</h4>\n<p>The interaction of tension and shear for <strong>cast-in anchors</strong> is not necessary because it is implicitly included in the anchor shear check.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.staalsupport.nl/zoeken-detail.asp?pag=499\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Explanation at Steel support from the Netherlands:</a></p>\n<p><em>For checking of normal bolts, Table 3.4 of EN 1993-1-8 includes a formula for the interaction of normal force and shear force. However, this formula only applies to bolts in a normal (steel-steel) connection and not to anchors in a column base plate connection. When checking the shear resistance of the anchor, a tensile force in the bolt equal to the resistance to yielding was already taken into account; see Eq. 6.2 of Cl. 6.2.2 (7) of EN 1993-1-8. The actual tensile stress that occurs in the anchor is therefore not relevant. This calculation method is based on tests carried out at the TU Delft. These calculation rules from the Eurocode are identical to the calculation rules from the TGB series. The explanation of the calculation rule is included in NEN 6772 but not in EN 1993-1-8. For column base plate connections, it is therefore sufficient to only carry out the separate checks for tension and shear.</em></p>\n<h4>Interaction of tension and shear in steel (EN 1992-4 – Table 7.3)</h4>\n<p>The interaction of tension and shear for <strong>post-installed fasteners</strong> is determined separately for steel and concrete failure modes according to Table 7.3. Interaction in steel is checked according to Equation (7.54). The interaction in steel is checked for each anchor separately.</p>\n<p>\\[ \\left ( \\frac{N_{Ed}}{N_{Rd,s}} \\right )^2 + \\left ( \\frac{V_{Ed}}{V_{Rd,s}} \\right )^2 \\le 1.0 \\]</p>\n<h4>Interaction of tension and shear in concrete</h4>\n<p> Interaction in concrete is checked according to Equation (7.55).</p>\n<p>\\[ \\left ( \\frac{N_{Ed}}{N_{Rd,i}} \\right )^{1.5} + \\left ( \\frac{V_{Ed}}{V_{Rd,i}} \\right )^{1.5} \\le 1.0 \\]</p>\n<p>The largest value of \\(N_{Ed} / N_{Rd,i} \\) and \\(V_{Ed} / V_{Rd,i} \\) for the different failure modes shall be taken. Note that values of \\(N_{Ed}\\) and \\(N_{Rd,i}\\) often belong to a group of anchors.</p>\n<h3>Anchors with stand-off</h3>\n<p>An anchor with stand-off is designed as a bar element loaded by shear force, bending moment, and compressive or tensile force. These internal forces are determined by the finite element model. The anchor is fixed on both sides, one side is 0.5×<em>d</em> below the concrete level, and the other side is in the middle of the thickness of the plate. The buckling length is conservatively assumed as twice the length of the bar element. Plastic section modulus is used. The bar element is designed according to EN 1993-1-1. The shear force may decrease the yield strength of the steel according to Cl. 6.2.8 but the minimum length of the anchor to fit the nut under the base plate ensures that the anchor fails in bending before the shear force reaches half the shear resistance. The reduction is therefore not necessary. The interaction of bending moment and compressive or tensile strength is assessed according to Cl. 6.2.1.</p>\n<h4>Shear resistance (EN 1993-1-1 Cl. 6.2.6):</h4>\n<p>\\[ V_{pl,Rd} = \\frac{A_V f_y / \\sqrt{3}}{\\gamma_{M2}} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>V</sub> = 0.844 <em>A</em><sub>s</sub> – shear area</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>s</sub> – bolt area reduced by threads</li>\n <li><em>f</em><sub>y</sub> – bolt yield strength</li>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>M2</sub> – partial safety factor</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>Tensile resistance (EN 1993-1-8 – Cl. 3.6.1):</h4>\n<p>\\[ F_{t,Rd}=\\frac{c k_2 f_{ub} A_s}{\\gamma_{M2}} \\ge F_t \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>c</em> – decrease in tensile resistance of bolts with cut thread according to EN 1993-1-8 – Cl. 3.6.1.

Two factors are assigned to the dissipative item:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>ov</sub> – overstrength factor – EN 1998-1, Cl. 6.2; the recommended value is <em>γ</em><sub>ov</sub> = 1.25; editable in materials</li>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>sh</sub> – strain-hardening factor; the recommended values are <em>γ</em><sub>sh</sub> = 1.2 for beam in moment resisting frame, <em>γ</em><sub>sh</sub> = 1.0 otherwise; editable in operation</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The material diagram is modified according to the following figure:</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"ddc1fc96-f9c5-4d2d-9ca5-5150ad9bce19\" data-image-id=\"ddc1fc96-f9c5-4d2d-9ca5-5150ad9bce19\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/278940a1-f39c-4dc3-baa9-ee0915804701/Steel%20connection%20capacity%20design.png\" data-asset-id=\"ddc1fc96-f9c5-4d2d-9ca5-5150ad9bce19\" data-image-id=\"ddc1fc96-f9c5-4d2d-9ca5-5150ad9bce19\" alt=\"The objective of capacity design is to confirm a building undergoes controlled ductile behavior in order to avoid a collapse in a design-level earthquake.

The verification of buckling resistance based on the obtained FEM results is described in Annex B of EN 1993-1-5. This procedure is used for a wide range of structures except for very slender shells, where geometrically nonlinear analysis with initial imperfections is more suitable (4 and 5).</p>\n<p>The procedure uses load amplifiers <em>α,</em> which are obtained as the results of FEM analysis and allow to predict of the post-buckling resistance of the joints.</p>\n<p>The load coefficient, <em>α</em><sub>ult,k</sub>, is determined by reaching the plastic capacity without considering the geometrical nonlinearity. The check of plastic capacity and the general automatic determination of <em>α</em><sub>ult,k</sub> is implemented into the developed software.</p>\n<p>The critical buckling factor, <em>α</em><sub>cr</sub>, is determined, which is obtained using FEM analysis of linear stability. It is determined automatically in the software using the same FEM model as for the calculation of <em>α</em><sub>ult,k</sub>. It should be noted that the critical point in terms of plastic resistance is not necessarily assessed in the first critical buckling mode. More buckling modes need to be assessed in a complex joint because they are related to different parts of the joint.</p>\n<p>The non-dimensional plate slenderness, \\( \\bar \\lambda_p \\), of the examined buckling mode is determined:</p>\n<p>\\[ \\bar \\lambda_p = \\sqrt{\\frac{\\alpha_{ult,k}}{\\alpha_{cr}}} \\]</p>\n<p>The reduction buckling factor <em>ρ</em> is determined according to Annex B of EN 1993-1-5. The reduction factor depends on the plate slenderness. The used buckling curve shows the influence of the reduction factor on the plate slenderness. The provided buckling factor applicable to non-uniform members is based on the buckling curves of a beam. The verification is based on the von Mises yield criterion and the reduced stress method. Buckling resistance is assessed as</p>\n<p>\\[ \\frac{\\alpha_{ult,k} \\rho}{\\gamma_{M2}} \\ge 1 \\]</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"61037866-4396-4b88-9274-d398651553ee\" data-image-id=\"61037866-4396-4b88-9274-d398651553ee\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/726480bf-8bb6-4215-b469-1cdb3abcc0ff/buckling.png\" data-asset-id=\"61037866-4396-4b88-9274-d398651553ee\" data-image-id=\"61037866-4396-4b88-9274-d398651553ee\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Buckling reduction factor ρ according to EN 1993-1-5 Annex B</em></p>\n<p>Although the process seems trivial, it is general, robust, and easily automated. The advantage of the procedure is the advanced FEM analysis of the whole joint, which can be applied to general geometry. Moreover, it is included in the valid Eurocode standards. The advanced numerical analysis gives a quick overview of the global behavior of the structure and its critical parts and allows fast stiffening to prevent instabilities.</p>\n<p>The limit slenderness, <em>λ</em><sub>p</sub>, is provided in Annex B of EN 1993-1-5 and sets all cases which must be assessed according to the previous procedure. The resistance is limited by buckling for plate slenderness higher than 0.7. With the decreasing slenderness, the resistance is governed by plastic strain. The limit critical buckling factor for plate slenderness equals to 0.7, and buckling resistance equal to the plastic resistance may be obtained as follows</p>\n<p>\\[ \\alpha_{cr} = \\frac{\\alpha_{ult,k}}{\\bar \\lambda_p^2} = \\frac{1}{0.7^2} = 2.04 \\]</p>\n<p>The influence of the plate slenderness on the plastic resistance, <em>M</em><sub>ult,k</sub>, and buckling resistance, <em>M</em><sub>CBFEM</sub>, is shown in the figure below.

These templates are designed to be universally applicable, providing a solid foundation for a wide range of projects.</li>\n <li><strong>Parametric customization</strong>: Through the Developer tab, users can define specific parameters for each template, allowing for a high degree of customization and flexibility in design.</li>\n <li><strong>Template identification</strong>: Parametric templates are easily identifiable by the symbol {p}, ensuring that users can quickly recognize and select them for their projects.</li>\n <li><strong>Enhanced library filtering</strong>: The filter in the Propose window of the Connection Library enables users to efficiently find parametric templates among the library's extensive offering.</li>\n <li><strong>Publication control</strong>: When a connection contains parameters, designers have the option to publish these parametric templates to the Connection Library. This feature offers flexibility in sharing customized templates with the broader user community or keeping them private for individual or internal use.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Impact on workflow</h2>\n<p>The inclusion of parametric templates in the Connection Library represents a significant advancement in the design process for connection designers. This functionality simplifies the design process by providing:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Efficiency</strong>: The use of templates speeds up the design phase, allowing for quicker iterations and modifications.</li>\n <li><strong>Consistency</strong>: Parametric templates ensure design consistency across projects, which is crucial for maintaining standards and quality.</li>\n <li><strong>Collaboration</strong>: The ability to share customized templates enhances collaboration among teams and with the wider design community.</li>\n <li><strong>Customization</strong>: Designers can tailor templates to specific project requirements, enhancing design accuracy and effectiveness.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><em>Released in </em><a data-item-id=\"52afe115-4e0f-4c6a-be42-e82757fdb937\" href=\"\"><em>IDEA StatiCa patch 23.1.5</em></a>.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n421fe254_57b7_01cd_2bc3_0af215b956fb\"></object>\n<h2>Default control sets in the Operations</h2>\n<p>The design of a connection by parameters consists of the setting of very unique parameters specific for every single connection type on one hand. On the other hand, there are parameters that are used almost always due to common engineering practices, such as a set of welds, fasteners, and materials.</p>\n<p>To simplify the creation of parametric templates and to reach this setting anytime, we include these controls as default sets in the operation root.</p>\n<p>When you select Operations, there are, by default, the following settings:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Weld setting: <strong>Weld sizing method</strong> and weld <strong>Material</strong> (24.0.5)</li>\n <li>Bolt setting: <strong>Type</strong>, <strong>Shear plane in thread,</strong> and <strong>Shear force transfer</strong> (24.1.0)</li>\n <li>Plates setting: <strong>Material </strong>(24.1.0)</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"2a3a3db4-b18c-4e2c-a09d-5774aa412487\" data-image-id=\"2a3a3db4-b18c-4e2c-a09d-5774aa412487\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/23570977-6342-4a3e-adc8-2563c3e0028f/common%20properties%201.png\" data-asset-id=\"2a3a3db4-b18c-4e2c-a09d-5774aa412487\" data-image-id=\"2a3a3db4-b18c-4e2c-a09d-5774aa412487\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>These controls set the specific property for the whole connection model to all operations and are shown in the Operations root by default. They do not change the properties of the structural members, only the manufacturing operations.</p>\n<p>In case any of the properties related to the control <strong>is used in any parameter</strong> of the parametric template, the control is automatically disabled. By this behavior, we prevent the possibility of influencing the same property from two places and, thus, ruining the connection detail by loops in parameters.</p>\n<p>As a benefit, these controls are also shown without a parametric template, enabling quick changes and unifying properties of any connection model.</p>\n<h2>What are the benefits?</h2>\n<ul>\n <li>For the <strong>parametric template user</strong> (e.g., junior user), all operations are disabled (read-only). However, <strong>changing the material, bolt class, or plate material</strong> is still a commonly expected action. Although, if there is a single parameter missing in the parametric template, it makes the template unusable. Common properties such as welds, bolts, and material can now be controlled in each parametric template using the default controls shown under the parameters.</li>\n <li>Adding these controls <strong>simplifies the work of the template creator</strong> (e.g., senior user) <strong>in preparing the parametric templates</strong>. Now, it is not necessary to manually create special parameters for modifying common properties such as welds, bolts, and materials.</li>\n <li>Sometimes, you want to <strong>unify bolt grades or plates and weld material</strong> in the whole connection detail even when the <strong>parametric template is not used</strong>. It can be easily done either by multi-selecting in the tree and editing operations of the same type (nevertheless, in this case, it has to be done multiple times for each group of operations separately), or it is now possible <strong>to change the requested property</strong> or just check if the same property is used <strong>in one click</strong>.</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"bb5a4e57-69fe-4255-b4f5-adb95bf8a794\" data-image-id=\"bb5a4e57-69fe-4255-b4f5-adb95bf8a794\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/937c9874-ecb7-4e00-ba25-790f70433722/common%20properties%202.png\" data-asset-id=\"bb5a4e57-69fe-4255-b4f5-adb95bf8a794\" data-image-id=\"bb5a4e57-69fe-4255-b4f5-adb95bf8a794\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Released in </em><a data-item-id=\"17d58b3b-ad50-4d8b-9be5-8c387010e618\" href=\"\"><em>IDEA StatiCa version 24.1</em></a><em>.</em></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n7727e059_a44c_01ce_bd96_40976a9aacc3\"></object>\n<h2>Improvements of the predefined set</h2>\n<p>Several enhancements have been made to <strong>parametric templates created via the Wizard</strong> to improve usability, clarity, and model consistency.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Validation messages have been refined, only functional and relevant messages are now displayed, such as incorrect member type, cross-section compatibility, or load definition issues.</li>\n <li>Message texts have also been rewritten for better readability and technical accuracy.</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"737a4cd3-cdfd-44d9-b4ef-6bdd0ed27699\" data-image-id=\"737a4cd3-cdfd-44d9-b4ef-6bdd0ed27699\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/ae6b21b1-c930-4ad9-859f-f1753f5d321a/25-1%20predefined%20set%202.png\" data-asset-id=\"737a4cd3-cdfd-44d9-b4ef-6bdd0ed27699\" data-image-id=\"737a4cd3-cdfd-44d9-b4ef-6bdd0ed27699\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<ul>\n <li>Templates now correctly retain <strong>cross-section data</strong> for cleats and stiffening members, ensuring accurate geometry generation.</li>\n <li><strong>Custom cross-sections (CSS) stored in the MPRL</strong> are included in templates and automatically applied to new models.</li>\n <li>A new <strong>Workplane operation method, Intersection</strong>, allows templates to be used for members ending in both X+ and X– directions within Checkbot, with adjustable offset and positioning on the near or far edge of the related member.</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"618d872c-8d91-4f63-98b3-d45e7e9c17e2\" data-image-id=\"618d872c-8d91-4f63-98b3-d45e7e9c17e2\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/6c417587-c02f-4a0b-933f-9a3c4071f6ac/25-1%20predefined%20set%203.png\" data-asset-id=\"618d872c-8d91-4f63-98b3-d45e7e9c17e2\" data-image-id=\"618d872c-8d91-4f63-98b3-d45e7e9c17e2\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Thanks to this new function, templates are applicable at both ends in the Checkkbot.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"dfb6b20b-9c5f-46b7-b003-b1ca968c6f89\" data-image-id=\"dfb6b20b-9c5f-46b7-b003-b1ca968c6f89\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/c3991f2a-98fe-4c99-a1b7-a6875607d42d/25-1%20predefined%20set%204.png\" data-asset-id=\"dfb6b20b-9c5f-46b7-b003-b1ca968c6f89\" data-image-id=\"dfb6b20b-9c5f-46b7-b003-b1ca968c6f89\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Parametric templates can also be <a data-item-id=\"e8d3e9e8-0671-460a-bc80-22eb894538ca\" href=\"\">combined with each other or with standard manufacturing operations</a>.</p>\n<p><em>Released in </em><a data-item-id=\"44b90fbb-8348-4643-8966-823b2c71587b\" href=\"\"><em>IDEA StatiCa version 25.1</em></a><em>.</em></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"link\" data-codename=\"untitled_content_item_1085ffa\"></object>"

Often you have to sit down with your colleagues with a pencil and paper to sketch out various possibilities for a column-to-beam connection that looked soooo simple at first glance. </p>\n<p>And here the discussion started: </p>\n<p> \"We've always done it that way.\"</p>\n<p> \"This connection would be too expensive.\"</p>\n<p> \"You can't add bolts here. Welding there would be a much better option\".</p>\n<p> \"It should be rather semi-rigid than rigid.\"</p>\n<p>And then, you start searching for inspiration on how to solve such a connection safely and efficiently. First, within your office with your colleagues, then you start browsing and exploring your past projects. </p>\n<p>Somebody has to solve a similar issue before, right? </p>\n<p>And this is where IDEA StatiCa comes in. </p>\n<h2>Connection Library at your service</h2>\n<p><a data-item-id=\"d462d4fd-c84f-4b3b-8111-c248b270291b\" href=\"\"><strong>Connection Library</strong></a><strong> is a cloud application that provides you with 400,000+ ideas for your connection designs</strong> from all around the world. Saying that, it is by far the world's largest database of steel connections. Available just at your fingertips. And for free... </p>\n<p>With the Connection Library, you can browse examples matching your project and <strong>find inspiration in seconds</strong>! </p>\n<p><strong>The use is pretty easy, just like 1-2-3. </strong></p>\n<h4>1. Define the geometry of your model</h4>\n<p>The whole database is segmented and filterable by a smart system of connection geometries. What does it mean? Using a few setting parameters, you can model your connection members quickly with a predefined set of cross-sections and filters. </p>\n<p>You can play with members, add them or remove, rotate, or adjust them. For each of them, you can select from 8 different types of cross-sections + one general, in case you are not sure yet. </p>\n<p> Do you need to add a hollow section? No problem! </p>\n<p> Did you say \"rectangular\"? Here you are! </p>\n<p> Change it to I-shape? Just click here. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"e1a658ae-4ba2-46d8-ba48-7f8c3a369520\" data-image-id=\"e1a658ae-4ba2-46d8-ba48-7f8c3a369520\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/6a3c1e2d-08d0-4c87-8802-396313c40d21/ConLib-step01-2.5x.gif\" data-asset-id=\"e1a658ae-4ba2-46d8-ba48-7f8c3a369520\" data-image-id=\"e1a658ae-4ba2-46d8-ba48-7f8c3a369520\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>By the way, if you are not sure about your solution yet or you want to see the rich inspiration for the most popular connection types, you can just click on one of the <strong>four preselected models</strong> in the bottom right corner. </p>\n<h4>2. Browse potential candidates</h4>\n<p>Based on your model settings, you can start browsing thousands of connections with the same geometry. Obviously, the more precisely specified geometry, the more accurate the offer of solutions would be. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"60697ce5-4c9f-4b1d-9253-cd19905778d1\" data-image-id=\"60697ce5-4c9f-4b1d-9253-cd19905778d1\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/971c4360-91a6-4b20-b3a5-1857f609ecec/connection-library-v0-03d.PNG\" data-asset-id=\"60697ce5-4c9f-4b1d-9253-cd19905778d1\" data-image-id=\"60697ce5-4c9f-4b1d-9253-cd19905778d1\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>If there are too many options, try to<strong> adjust filtering</strong>, refine your settings, or fine-tune connectors and features. </p>\n<p> Need only welded connections?

Explore details in a 3D view</h4>\n<p>The last step enables you to explore connection details and properties in the 3D view window. You can find similar connections and see how other engineers solved them. </p>\n<p><strong>To access the 3D view</strong>, <strong>you have to either have an IDEA StatiCa account</strong> already (you have the IDEA StatiCa desktop license, no matter if a commercial or free – educational or trial), or you can quickly <a data-item-id=\"0c872071-6a3f-4b99-8cd4-66440db9cc0d\" href=\"\">create a free account</a>, which allows you to explore the connection details.</p>\n<p>Besides the filter settings, you can also see according to which standard the connection had been designed. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"d9678bf1-23da-425d-8e76-561722b61b32\" data-image-id=\"d9678bf1-23da-425d-8e76-561722b61b32\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/06240ec5-08e5-46d4-8c3d-5d74f4353e21/connection-library-v1-04.PNG\" data-asset-id=\"d9678bf1-23da-425d-8e76-561722b61b32\" data-image-id=\"d9678bf1-23da-425d-8e76-561722b61b32\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>If you like the selected solution, get inspired, and you can try to model it in the IDEA StatiCa desktop app on your own.</p>\n<h2>Where are all these connections coming from?</h2>\n<p>As you can imagine, putting together such an extensive database of steel connections was not an easy task. </p>\n<p>Connection Library has been created by structural engineers for the global community of engineers, nurturing inspiration and simplifying their work, much like programmers share code for collective benefit.</p>\n<p>The <strong>Connection Library database comes from data gathered by another IDEA StatiCa cloud app called </strong><a data-item-id=\"509c9953-7d08-4da3-9b0e-1651eb8053ea\" href=\"\"><strong>Viewer</strong></a>, where engineers can share their project files. We took those connection designs, made them anonymous, and kept just the important bits like cross-sections, member geometry, and the building codes. No data from our desktop applications were used to build the Connection Library database.</p>\n<h2>Now it's your turn...</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://connectionlibrary.ideastatica.com/\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IDEA StatiCa Connection Library</a> is an (almost) endless source of inspiration for you. Take the plunge into testing, browse it, change geometries... Just do your best to find out what scenarios it can cover for you, your projects, and designs. </p>\n<p>Connection Library is a new tool, and as for every new project, <strong>we would love to hear your feedback</strong>. </p>\n<p>What do you like or dislike? How can it be improved, or what features should we add to it? Do you miss more advanced filtering? </p>\n<p>If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them with us via a <a href=\"https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/connection-library\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">simple survey form</a>, which you can find in the bottom right corner of the Connection Library screen. </p>\n<p>OK.

"value": "<h2>Introduction</h2>\n<p>When designing the structure to resist the seismic load case combination, the engineer must choose a concept:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Low dissipative structural behavior\n <ul>\n <li><em>q</em> = 1 to 2 (section class 4 → <em>q</em> = 1)</li>\n <li>No special requirements for steel structures</li>\n <li>Ductility class low (DCL)</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Dissipative structural behavior\n <ul>\n <li><em>q</em> ≤ 4 – Ductility class medium (DCM), section class 1, 2</li>\n <li><em>q</em> > 4 – Ductility class high (DCH), section class 1</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n</ul>\n<p>For low dissipative structural behavior, no special requirements are necessary, and usual connection checks are required. However, for high seismic loads, designing a structure resisting remaining in an elastic state is unfeasible, and dissipative structural behavior is necessary. The Member Capacity Design analysis in IDEA StatiCa Connection is meant for such behavior.</p>\n<p>Possible structural types of seismic resisting systems allowed in EN 1998-1 are:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Moment resisting frames (MRF)\n <ul>\n <li>plastic hinges at the ends of beams or in the connections of the beams to columns</li>\n <li>plastic hinges may also be:\n <ul>\n <li>at the column base</li>\n <li>at the top of the column in the upper floor</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Frames with concentric bracings (CBF):\n <ul>\n <li>dissipative zones are located in the diagonals in tension</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Frames with eccentric bracings (EBF):\n <ul>\n <li>dissipative zones in seismic links, mostly in beams</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Inverted pendulum structures</li>\n <li>Steel structures associated with concrete cores or concrete walls</li>\n <li>Dual frames made of moment-resisting frames combined with braced frames\n <ul>\n <li>MRF contributes > 25 % to total strength and stiffness</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Moment-resisting frames combined with reinforced concrete infills</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Determination of seismic load cases</h2>\n<p>Internal forces for seismic load combination may be determined by one of the following methods of structural seismic analysis:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Lateral force method</li>\n <li>Linear modal response spectrum analysis</li>\n <li>Nonlinear static pushover analysis</li>\n <li>Nonlinear time-history dynamic analysis</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Using linear modal response spectrum analysis causes internal forces to “lose signs” due to the method of square root of sum of squares (SRSS). The signs should be reobtained by the lateral force method – the joint in IDEA StatiCa must be in equilibrium. The seismic loads are in the accidental load combination, and the structure is analyzed. The joints are designed using standard Stress, strain analysis (EPS) in IDEA StatiCa Connection.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, non-dissipative members must be able to safely, without significant deformations, transfer forces necessary to create the plastic hinges in dissipative members. This additional check is performed in Member Capacity Design analysis (MC).</p>\n<h2>Capacity design</h2>\n<p>The objective of capacity design is to confirm a building undergoes controlled ductile behavior in order to avoid collapse in a design-level earthquake. This involves designing the structure to allow ductile failure at key predictable locations within the structure and to prevent other failure types occurring near these locations or elsewhere in the structure.</p>\n<p>In other words, in a structure that contains both brittle and ductile elements, capacity design is a method to provide the structure with an overall ductile characteristic.</p>\n<p>Some members are considered as dissipative and others non-dissipative. Connections are usually non-dissipative but in some cases may be dissipative. Dissipative elements are expected to undergo significant plastic deformations during seismic load case, the seismic energy may be depleted at these deformations, and the seismic load is therefore significantly lower. On the other hand, dissipative elements must be able to withstand the cyclic strains without any cracks, and all non-dissipative elements must be able to transfer the load induced by dissipative elements. To ensure the formation of plastic hinge in the dissipative member, the probable yield strength is used instead of nominal yield strength, and sometimes, especially for beams in MRFs, also strain-hardening is taken into account. Thus, the strength of dissipative members is taken as:</p>\n<p>\\(f_{y,max} = \\gamma_{sh} \\cdot \\gamma_{ov} \\cdot f_y \\) (EN)</p>\n<p>\\(F_{y,max}= C_{pr} \\cdot R_y \\cdot F_y \\) (AISC)</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>sh</sub> – strain-hardening factor, equal to 1.1 in EN 1998-1 and 1.2 in EN 1993-1-8; value 1.2 is recommended in ECCS manuals because it corresponds better to steel grades used for seismic applications; editable at dissipative element function</li>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>ov</sub> – overstrength factor, recommended value is 1.25; editable in materials</li>\n <li>\\(C_{pr} = \\frac{F_y + F_u}{2 \\cdot F_y}\\) – strain-hardening factor – AISC 358-16 (2.4-2); may be turned on or off at dissipative element function</li>\n <li><em>R</em><sub>y</sub> – ratio of probable to minimal yield strength – AISC 341-16 – Table A3.1; editable in materials</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Ultimate (tensile) strength is also modified for elements selected as dissipative:</p>\n<p>\\(f_{u,max}= \\gamma_ov \\cdot f_u \\) (EN)</p>\n<p>\\(F_{u,max} = R_t \\cdot F_u \\) (AISC)</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>ov</sub> – overstrength factor, recommended value is 1.25; editable in materials</li>\n <li><em>R</em><sub>u</sub> – ratio of probable to minimal tensile strength – AISC 341-16 – Table A3.1; editable in materials</li>\n</ul>\n<p>All the factors are modifiable allowing user a great degree of freedom. Moreover, multiple overstrength functions may be created with varying properties, but one plate may be selected only once. The strain-hardening factor is typically not used (equal to 1) for the analysis of braced frames. Note that safety (resistance/capacity) factors are not used for dissipative elements (members or plates with applied overstrength function).</p>\n<h2>Case study: Moment resisting frames</h2>\n<p>Typically, the beam is a dissipative member, in which plastic hinge is meant to form, and connection and the column are non-dissipative elements, which must remain without significant deformations. The beam is loaded by the load necessary to form plastic hinge in the beam with probable yield strength and by the corresponding shear force:</p>\n<p>\\[ M_{Ed} = f_{y,max} \\cdot W_{pl} \\]</p>\n<p>\\[V_{Ed} = \\frac{2M_{Ed}}{L_h} + V_{gravity} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>W</em><sub>pl</sub> – plastic section modulus of the beam</li>\n <li><em>L</em><sub>h</sub> – distance between two plastic hinges on the beam</li>\n <li><em>V</em><sub>gravity</sub> – shear force due to gravity loading in the seismic combination</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"60d63b32-e0ab-41e1-b674-903365151edd\" data-image-id=\"60d63b32-e0ab-41e1-b674-903365151edd\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/483ccbcc-0aaf-4302-be41-45b5bf3074b6/plastic%20hinge.png\" data-asset-id=\"60d63b32-e0ab-41e1-b674-903365151edd\" data-image-id=\"60d63b32-e0ab-41e1-b674-903365151edd\" alt=\"Plastic hinge\"></figure>\n<p>Note that if a double-sided beam-to-column joint is used, the forces must be from the same load case with correct directions, e.g.:</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1496a1bc-2d5e-41ef-89e5-4447eeaf64c5\" data-image-id=\"1496a1bc-2d5e-41ef-89e5-4447eeaf64c5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/582bcac7-9ba5-48d1-bc9b-cf153db4dfad/CD_Loads.png\" data-asset-id=\"1496a1bc-2d5e-41ef-89e5-4447eeaf64c5\" data-image-id=\"1496a1bc-2d5e-41ef-89e5-4447eeaf64c5\" alt=\"Loads\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"15fd28dd-c0c2-43bf-95ea-b445526a323c\" data-image-id=\"15fd28dd-c0c2-43bf-95ea-b445526a323c\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/d766deab-f4a5-4454-84cf-39ea37c6773a/CD_two%20members.png\" data-asset-id=\"15fd28dd-c0c2-43bf-95ea-b445526a323c\" data-image-id=\"15fd28dd-c0c2-43bf-95ea-b445526a323c\" alt=\"Capacity design - two members\"></figure>\n<p>The shear forces are typically applied at the node for rigid joints. But the applied corresponding shear force is decreasing the bending moment at the plastic hinge. The moment at the plastic hinge is calculated as \\(M_{Ed} = f_{y,max} \\cdot W_{pl}\\) and the bending moment <em>M</em><sub>y</sub> at the node is increased by the shear force <em>V</em><sub>z</sub> to \\( M_y = f_{y,max} \\cdot W_{pl} + V_z \\cdot s_h \\) where <em>s</em><sub>h</sub> is the distance between the node and the location of the plastic hinge.

FEA programs use an envelope of internal forces from combinations. IDEA StatiCa Connection is a program that resolves steel joint nonlinearly (elastic/plastic material model). Therefore, the envelope combinations cannot be used. IDEA StatiCa searches for extremes of internal forces (<em>N, V</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><em>, V</em><em><sub>z</sub></em><em>, M</em><em><sub>x</sub></em><em>, M</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><em>, M</em><em><sub>z</sub></em>) in all combinations at the ends of all members connected to the joint. For each such extreme value, also all other internal forces from that combination in all remaining members are used. Idea StatiCa determines the worst combination for each component (plate, weld, bolt etc.) in the connection.</p>\n<p>The user can modify this list of load cases. He can work with combinations in the wizard (or BIM), or he can delete some cases directly in <a data-item-id=\"b0a659df-8f92-4d1f-abb6-2efa02bad946\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Connection</a>.</p>\n<p><strong>Warning!</strong></p>\n<p>It is necessary to take into account unbalanced internal forces during the import. This can happen in the following cases:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Nodal force was applied to the position of the investigated node. The software cannot detect which member should transfer this nodal force and, therefore, it is not taken into account in the analysis model. <em>Solution: Do not use nodal forces in global analysis. If necessary, the force must be manually added to a selected member as a normal or shear force.</em></li>\n <li>Loaded, non-steel (usually timber or concrete) member is connected to the investigated node. Such member is not considered in the analysis, and their internal forces are ignored in the analysis. <em>Solution: Replace the concrete member with a concrete block and anchorage.</em></li>\n <li>The node is a part of a slab or a wall (usually from concrete). The slab or the wall is not part of the model, and its internal forces are ignored. <em>Solution: Replace the concrete slab or wall with a concrete block and anchorage.</em></li>\n <li>Some members are connected to the investigated node via rigid links. Such members are not included in the model, and their internal forces are ignored. <em>Solution: Add these members into the list of connected members manually.</em></li>\n <li>Seismic load cases are analyzed in the software. Most FEA software offer the modal analysis to solve seismicity. The results of internal forces of seismic load cases provide usually only internal force envelopes in sections. Due to the evaluation method (square root of the sum of squares – SRSS), the internal forces are all positive and it is not possible to find the forces matching to the selected extreme. It is not possible to achieve a balance of internal forces. <em>Solution: Change the positive sign of some internal forces manually.</em></li>\n</ul>"

Set loads are multiplied and then applied in steps, and the results are plotted in the Stiffness diagram.

In moment-resistant connections, the ductility is achieved by a sufficient rotation capacity <em>φ</em><sub>Cd</sub>. The deformation/rotation capacity is calculated for each connection in the joint separately.</p>\n<p>The software estimates the deformation capacity as a point where one of the following conditions is achieved:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Bolt or anchor resistance in tension, shear, or tension/shear interaction is reached</li>\n <li>Weld resistance is reached</li>\n <li>Plastic strain in plates is 15 %</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The estimation of the rotation capacity is important in connections exposed to <a data-item-id=\"02b63bda-ca02-5270-a15e-ab2642cfbdaf\" href=\"\">seismic</a>, see Gioncu and Mazzolani (2002) and Grecea (2004) and extreme loading, see Sherbourne and Bahaari (1994 and 1996). The deformation capacity of components has been studied from the end of the last century (Foley and Vinnakota, 1995). Faella et al. (2000) carried out tests on T-stubs and derived the analytical expressions for the deformation capacity. Kuhlmann and Kuhnemund (2000) performed tests on the column web subjected to transverse compression at different levels of compression axial force in the column. Da Silva et al. (2002) predicted deformation capacity at different levels of axial force in the connected beam. Based on the test results combined with FE analysis, deformation capacities are established for the basic components by analytical models by Beg et al. (2004). In the work, components are represented by non-linear springs and appropriately combined in order to determine the rotation capacity of the joint for the end-plate connections, with an extended or flush end-plate and welded connections. For these connections, the most important components that may significantly contribute to the rotation capacity were recognized as the web in compression, column web in tension, column web in shear, column flange in bending, and end-plate in bending. Components related to the column web are relevant only when there are no stiffeners in the column that resist compression, tension, or shear forces. The presence of a stiffener eliminates the corresponding component, and its contribution to the rotation capacity of the joint can be therefore neglected. End-plates and column flanges are important only for end-plate connections where the components act as a T-stub, where also the deformation capacity of the bolts in tension is included. The questions and limits of the deformation capacity of connections of high-strength steel were studied by Girao et al. (2004).</p>"

"value": "<p>Buckling is usually not an important issue in joints. However, it should be checked that there are no buckling issues and that the results of strength analysis, which uses only geometrically linear analysis, are correct.</p>\n<p><a data-item-id=\"b0a659df-8f92-4d1f-abb6-2efa02bad946\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Connection</a> can perform linear buckling analysis of a model of a joint. The results are predicted in buckling modes. Critical load, at which buckling of the perfect model occurs, is calculated for each buckling mode. Critical load is presented by multipliers of the load acting on the joint. According to the buckling mode and critical load multiplier, the user can determine the safe buckling design.</p>\n<p>Some codes, e.g. Eurocode (EN 1993-1-1, Chapter 5.2.1), recommend a critical load multiplier higher than 15 for bar models of structures. If the critical load multiplier is higher than 15, the code does not require a buckling check of members.</p>\n<p>For joints, the matter is different, and the code does not provide any specific recommendation. The design of local buckling must be tackled in another way. Generally, the local buckling may be divided into three groups:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Plates connecting individual members</li>\n <li>Stiffening plates in the joint – stiffeners, ribs, short haunches</li>\n <li>Closed sections and thin-walled sections</li>\n</ol>\n<p>The buckling of plates from group 1 affects the buckling shape of the whole member. Therefore, it is recommended to apply the same rules as for these members also to these plates, i.e., consider safe critical load multiplier 15 and higher. The engineer should verify that the real execution of the joint corresponds to the boundary conditions of the model used for buckling analysis of the whole structure.</p>\n<p>Plates from group 2 affect the local buckling of the joint. For such plates, the safe boundary of critical load multiplier 15 is conservative, but specific guidance is missing in codes. The guidance is provided by <a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/all?category=verification_example&label=buckling\" data-new-window=\"true\" title=\"IDEA StatiCa Support Center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">research papers</a> that recommend a safe boundary of critical load multiplier equal to 3.</p>\n<p>Buckling of plates and members from group 3 is very problematic, and individual assessment of each particular case is necessary.</p>\n<p>For plates with a critical load multiplier smaller than suggested values (15 for group 1, 3 for group 2), plastic design cannot be used. Other methods that are not offered by IDEA StatiCa are necessary for their check.</p>\n<p>The result of buckling analysis in IDEA StatiCa Connection is not a definite check. The codes do not give sufficient guidance. The assessment requires engineering judgment and IDEA StatiCa provides unique tools not available in standard design software.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"daa85f66-8e1f-4ad5-9669-b8c24536c88f\" data-image-id=\"daa85f66-8e1f-4ad5-9669-b8c24536c88f\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/1571dacd-fb9b-4c75-9adf-91746be2a52c/Steel%20joint%20buckling%20analysis.png\" data-asset-id=\"daa85f66-8e1f-4ad5-9669-b8c24536c88f\" data-image-id=\"daa85f66-8e1f-4ad5-9669-b8c24536c88f\" alt=\"Gusset plate as an elongation of a truss – example of plate from group 1 for which buckling can be neglected if critical buckling factor is higher than 15\"></figure>\n<p><em>Gusset plate as an elongation of a truss – example of the plate from group 1 for which buckling can be neglected if the critical buckling factor is higher than 15</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"64f50f79-57b5-48a7-8773-6f4a05ecaa2a\" data-image-id=\"64f50f79-57b5-48a7-8773-6f4a05ecaa2a\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/efa05183-1d66-4644-9e09-6d2167ea28c1/buckling2.png\" data-asset-id=\"64f50f79-57b5-48a7-8773-6f4a05ecaa2a\" data-image-id=\"64f50f79-57b5-48a7-8773-6f4a05ecaa2a\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Examples of buckling shapes of plates from group 2 where the buckling can be neglected if the critical buckling factor is higher than 3</em></p>\n<p>The model used for buckling analysis is supported by different supports than set by the user in stress, strain analysis type (EPS).

The limit lateral stiffness where lateral-torsional buckling has an effect up to only 5 % of beam bending resistance is calculated according to EN 1993-1-1 as S<sub>lim</sub> = 8 589 kN. However, the results with torsional restraint are diverging at higher levels of rotational stiffness.

LTBeam provides unrealistically high critical load multipliers for high torsional stiffness. </p>\n<p>To verify this claim, the ABAQUS shell element model was created at ETH university. The beam is again fixed on both ends, made of steel grade S355 and with a length of 6 m. Beam cross-section IPE 240 was used.

The stiffnesses provided by trapezoidal sheets of sandwich panels are much smaller and may be determined by experiments or calculations. Most often, the values of lateral and torsional stiffness would be recommended by manufacturers of sandwich panels or other types of cladding. </p>\n<p>The calculation of lateral stiffness <em>S</em> [N] provided by trapezoidal sheets is provided in EN 1993-1-3, Chapter 10:</p>\n<p>\\[S=1000 \\sqrt{t^3} \\left ( 50+10 \\sqrt[3]{b_{roof}} \\right ) \\frac{s}{h_w} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>t</em> – design thickness of trapezoidal sheeting [mm]</li>\n <li><em>b</em><sub>roof</sub> – roof width, i.e. for gable roof it is the distance between a ridge and an eave [mm]</li>\n <li><em>s</em> – distance between beams [mm]</li>\n <li><em>h</em><sub>w</sub> – trapezoidal sheet profile depth [mm] </li>\n</ul>\n<p>The formula is valid if the trapezoidal sheet is connected to the beam at each rib. If the sheeting is connected to the beam at every second rib only, then <em>S</em> should be substituted by 0.2 <em>S</em>.</p>\n<p>Lateral stiffness of sandwich panels is described in ECCS recommendation. The stiffness of fasteners is essential:</p>\n<p>\\[S=\\frac{k_v}{2B} \\sum_{k=1}^{n_k}c_k^2\\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>k</em><sub>v</sub> – shear stiffness of a fastening</li>\n <li><em>B</em> – width of a sandwich panel</li>\n <li><em>n</em><sub>k</sub> – number of pairs of fasteners per panel and support</li>\n <li><em>c</em><sub>k</sub> – distance between the two fasteners of a pair</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Torsional stiffness is more complicated and can also be estimated by ECCS recommendation.

It is recommended to use more advanced geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis for joints of hollow sections even though the computational time is slightly higher. If GMNA analysis for hollow sections is selected in Code setup, GMNA is used instead of geometrically linear and materially nonlinear analysis (MNA, used as a standard in IDEA Statica Connection) for models with hollow section member as a bearing member.</p>\n<p><em>Note: If the bearing member is not a hollow section, the GMNA solver is disabled for the analysis of the whole connection model regardless of the settings in the code setup (GMNA on or off).</em></p>\n<h4>Cross-section deforms at the end of the shell model</h4>\n<p>The cross-section may deform at the ends of the model consisting of shell elements. Joints of hollow sections require relatively long members – up to 10 times cross-section diameter. Condensed superelement is placed behind the part of the model consisting of shell elements. This allows faster calculation with the same precision as the full model consisting of shell elements. The condensed superelement has only elastic material properties, and that means the plastic strains due to the investigated failure mode should not reach the end of shell element model. For this reason, the shell model spans by default 1.25 times the cross-section height (editable in Code setup) behind the last manufacturing operation. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"d540c6c8-c955-4515-a5cf-538a3eebfb04\" data-image-id=\"d540c6c8-c955-4515-a5cf-538a3eebfb04\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/e7e89119-c6c4-4ec7-a097-48de5018924a/RN%2021%20-%20Solver%202-1200x630.png\" data-asset-id=\"d540c6c8-c955-4515-a5cf-538a3eebfb04\" data-image-id=\"d540c6c8-c955-4515-a5cf-538a3eebfb04\" alt=\"Hollow section with deformed end cross-sections\"></figure>\n<h4>Shell bending resistance reduced for hollow sections (imperfections)</h4>\n<p>Load resistances of hollow section joints in the codes are determined by the Failure Mode Method that uses curve-fitting models determined from experiments and advanced numerical models.

Generally, the size of welds will increase in this order:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>To capacity estimation</li>\n <li>To minimum ductility</li>\n <li>Full strength</li>\n <li>With over-strength</li>\n</ol>\n<p>The methods are described in detail below. </p>\n<h3>To capacity estimation</h3>\n<p>Weld sizing to capacity estimation automatically provides weld sizes that are strong just enough to transfer set loads. </p>\n<p>Weld capacity estimation is the first use of machine learning in IDEA StatiCa. At the moment, it is implemented only in Eurocode. Weld resistance is determined according to the most stressed weld element. Therefore, weld utilization is highly nonlinear. The resistance of the whole length is estimated by a machine-learning algorithm based on the stress distribution along the weld length.</p>\n<p>Weld sizing to capacity estimation requires results. Size of fillet welds is adjusted according to the following formula:</p>\n<p>\\[ a_{new} = a \\cdot Ut_c / Ut_{target} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>\\(a_{new}\\) – adjusted fillet weld size</li>\n <li>\\(a\\) – previously set fillet weld size</li>\n <li>\\(Ut_c\\) – capacity estimation based on machine learning algorithm visible at Weld check </li>\n <li>\\(Ut_{target}\\) – target utilization in Settings → Design → Autodesign → Weld sizing</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Resulting \\(a_{new}\\) is rounded up according to Preferences → Application units → New entity rounding → Weld size. </p>\n<p>Note that weld sizes are limited by detailing rules, e.g. weld size cannot be smaller than 3 mm (EN 1993-1-8 – 4.5.2). These detailing rules are adhered to. Also, keep in mind that multiple welds in IDEA StatiCa are often set by one value. In these cases, the size is set according to the most utilized one.</p>\n<p>Also, a calculation loop is available. When weld sizing method is set to capacity estimation, it:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Sizes the fillet welds to full strength</li>\n <li>Calculates the model</li>\n <li>Sizes the fillet welds to capacity estimation</li>\n <li>Calculates the model</li>\n</ol>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"b32d2f35-98c4-47f2-834f-f5968024303b\" data-image-id=\"b32d2f35-98c4-47f2-834f-f5968024303b\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0e70d6dc-2d15-40e1-9eb6-9d2ed5036c6c/Weld%20sizing%20button.png\" data-asset-id=\"b32d2f35-98c4-47f2-834f-f5968024303b\" data-image-id=\"b32d2f35-98c4-47f2-834f-f5968024303b\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Welds are then set at or below target utilization with just one click.</p>\n<h3>To minimum ductility</h3>\n<p>Weld sizing to minimum ductility automatically provides welded connections that are strong enough to prevent brittle failures. The weld strength allows for the initial yielding of the plate, but ultimately, the weld ruptures.</p>\n<p>The requirement for minimum ductility of welded joints in FprEN 1993-1-8:2023 – 6.9(4). It originates from Dutch national annex of EN 1993-1-8, where the fixed ratio of weld strength to plate strength is 0.8. It is also included in widely-used <a href=\"https://www.steelconstruction.info/images/a/a9/SCI_P358.pdf\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Green books from the UK, namely in Chapters C2 and C3</a>. However, the fixed ratio is suitable only for steel grade S355. In the second generation Eurocode, this is expanded for all steel grades.</p>\n<p>This requirement is checked for double-sided fillet welds by:</p>\n<p>\\[a/t=\\frac{\\beta_w\\gamma_{M2} f_y}{\\sqrt{2} f_u \\gamma_{M0} } \\cdot \\min \\left \\{1.0, 1.1\\frac{f_y}{f_u} \\right \\}\\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>\\(a\\) – weld throat thickness</li>\n <li>\\(t\\) – thickness of the plate connected by edge</li>\n <li>\\(\\beta_w\\) – weld correlation factor </li>\n <li>\\(\\gamma_{M2}\\) – safety factor for bolts and welds; editable in Code setup</li>\n <li>\\(f_y\\) – plate yield strength</li>\n <li>\\(f_u\\) – weld ultimate strength</li>\n <li>\\(\\gamma_{M0}\\) – safety factor for plates; editable in Code setup</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The weld throat thickness for single-sided fillet weld is twice larger than that for double-sided fillet weld.</p>\n<p>Note that the method is useful for transversely loaded welds and works if the plate is connected by its full width.</p>\n<h3>To full strength</h3>\n<p>Weld sizing to full strength automatically provides welds that are stronger than the connected plate. In the calculation, it is assumed that the plates are loaded in tension and welds transversely as the worst case for weld strength and ductility. This design is useful to avoid brittle failures of welds for static loading.</p>\n<p>This approach is also included in widely-used <a href=\"https://www.steelconstruction.info/File:SCI_P358.pdf\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Green books from the UK, namely in Chapter C1</a>.</p>\n<p>This requirement is checked for double-sided fillet welds by:</p>\n<p>\\[a/t=\\frac{\\beta_w\\gamma_{M2} f_y}{\\sqrt{2} f_u \\gamma_{M0} }\\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>\\(a\\) – weld throat thickness</li>\n <li>\\(t\\) – thickness of the plate connected by edge</li>\n <li>\\(\\beta_w\\) – weld correlation factor </li>\n <li>\\(\\gamma_{M2}\\) – safety factor for bolts and welds; editable in Code setup</li>\n <li>\\(f_y\\) – plate yield strength</li>\n <li>\\(f_u\\) – weld ultimate strength</li>\n <li>\\(\\gamma_{M0}\\) – safety factor for plates; editable in Code setup</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Note that the method is useful for transversely loaded welds and works if the plate is connected by its full width.</p>\n<h3>With overstrength</h3>\n<p>Weld sizing with overstrength automatically provides welds that are much stronger than the connected plate. Overstrength factor is specified Settings → Design → Autodesign → Weld sizing. The default value of 1.4 is taken from EN 1993-1-8 – 6.2.3 (5) to form a plastic hinge. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"46affa46-f7a7-4caa-bb19-12d801c4c6f4\" data-image-id=\"46affa46-f7a7-4caa-bb19-12d801c4c6f4\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/d01c2c80-c7bf-4e58-92ae-8769024d89c2/EN%201993-1-8%20-%206.2.3.png\" data-asset-id=\"46affa46-f7a7-4caa-bb19-12d801c4c6f4\" data-image-id=\"46affa46-f7a7-4caa-bb19-12d801c4c6f4\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>In the calculation, it is assumed that the plates are loaded in tension and welds transversely as the worst case for weld strength and ductility.

Consequently, the increase in strength of the breakout in the CCD method is proportional to the embedment depth to the power of 1.5.

Plastic hinge is expected to appear in dissipative item and all non-dissipative items of the joint must be able to safely transfer forces due to the yielding in the dissipative item. The dissipative item is usually a beam in moment resisting frame but it may also be e.g. an end plate. The safety factor is not used for dissipative items. Two factors are assigned to the yield strength of the dissipative item:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>R</em><sub>y</sub> – ratio of probable to minimal yield strength – AISC 341-16 – Table A3.1; editable in materials</li>\n <li>\\( C_{pr}=\\frac{F_y+F_u}{2\\bullet F_y} \\le 1.2 \\) – strain-hardening factor</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The ultimate strength of the dissipative item is increased by factor <em>R</em><sub>t</sub> – ratio of probable to minimal tensile strength – AISC 341-16 – Table A3.1; editable in materials</p>\n<p>The material diagram is modified according to the following figure:</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"a1229dc4-5f3a-4bbf-8b62-6318f14e74f5\" data-image-id=\"a1229dc4-5f3a-4bbf-8b62-6318f14e74f5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/ef4b2114-522c-41f5-bda5-4439f2e20f8e/AISC-dissipative.png\" data-asset-id=\"a1229dc4-5f3a-4bbf-8b62-6318f14e74f5\" data-image-id=\"a1229dc4-5f3a-4bbf-8b62-6318f14e74f5\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The increased strength of the dissipative item allows for the input of loads that cause the plastic hinge to appear in the dissipative item.

From repetitive modeling tasks to late-stage design changes, these connection-related workflows can take up a significant portion of time and resources.</p>\n<p>To address these challenges, many engineering firms are turning to IDEA StatiCa not just for its analysis capabilities but for the workflow optimizations it offers. Three specific tools, <strong>Checkbot grouping and batch design</strong>, <strong>parametric templates</strong>, and the <strong>new connection wizard</strong>,<strong> </strong>are helping teams streamline their processes and maintain efficiency across projects of all sizes.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n93a841d8_f840_0152_922a_77de0d5e2c46\"></object>\n<h2>Checkbot – grouping & batch design</h2>\n<p>When the same connection type appears throughout a structure, whether it’s a base plate at each column or a beam-to-beam shear connection in multiple bays, repeating individual modeling and validation steps can consume valuable hours. <a data-item-id=\"caeb1a6c-2621-446f-8005-4d2799496a39\" href=\"\">Checkbot</a> helps you combine these similar connections so you can focus on one reference design instead of opening dozens of separate files.</p>\n<p>By recognizing patterns in member count and cross-section, <strong>Checkbot lets you work on a single node and then apply that connection model to every matching node</strong>. Once the reference connection is set up, the software performs all required calculations, code checks, and load combinations for the entire group. You’ll also be able to export your connections to BIM via IFC without leaving the Checkbot interface.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"6db33267-4ea8-4414-9c07-a66a17704ddc\" data-image-id=\"6db33267-4ea8-4414-9c07-a66a17704ddc\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/65faa61b-f067-49d5-818b-6307da332e3b/checkbot.png\" data-asset-id=\"6db33267-4ea8-4414-9c07-a66a17704ddc\" data-image-id=\"6db33267-4ea8-4414-9c07-a66a17704ddc\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Here's how it works:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Connections are automatically grouped</strong> by member count and section type.</li>\n <li><strong>Design one reference connection</strong>, and Checkbot applies it across the group.</li>\n <li><strong>Run design checks and analyses</strong> for the group, including all relevant load combinations, without opening each connection individually.</li>\n <li><strong>A single report</strong> summarizes every connection in either a summary or a detailed format.</li>\n <li><strong>IFC export</strong> integrates your results directly into BIM models.</li>\n <li><strong>Everything happens within Checkbot</strong>, no switching between programs.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Firms using Checkbot are seeing time savings of 50–60% over traditional workflows. By cutting down repetitive modeling and centralizing checks, engineers can work faster without sacrificing quality. Checkbot is especially valuable in BIM or FEA models with repeating geometries like beam-to-column connections, where consistency and organization are crucial across dozens of similar connections.</p>\n<p>To prove our words, we've run a small test. </p>\n<p>During our webinar on <a data-item-id=\"f473766d-15da-4182-9f16-ed3bea7d9630\" href=\"\">Complete connection design in IDEA StatiCa Checkbot</a>, we asked attending engineers how long it typically takes them to design joints for a project with approximately 200 connections. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"f1e80b05-15a5-436d-9d23-cee7efe85d28\" data-image-id=\"f1e80b05-15a5-436d-9d23-cee7efe85d28\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/7068e5f7-65a5-40ae-8e83-f3c339ca76d4/Structure.png\" data-asset-id=\"f1e80b05-15a5-436d-9d23-cee7efe85d28\" data-image-id=\"f1e80b05-15a5-436d-9d23-cee7efe85d28\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"a06a21e8-f3a5-4b40-a829-0d36e681f481\" data-image-id=\"a06a21e8-f3a5-4b40-a829-0d36e681f481\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b0ac9c9d-0a1e-49a2-8dba-31e79dd1cef0/poll%20results.png\" data-asset-id=\"a06a21e8-f3a5-4b40-a829-0d36e681f481\" data-image-id=\"a06a21e8-f3a5-4b40-a829-0d36e681f481\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<ul>\n <li>Over 80% said more than 6 hours.</li>\n <li>25% estimated over 24 hours. </li>\n</ul>\n<p>With IDEA StatiCa and the help of Checkbot, it took us exactly <strong>2 hours and 25 minutes</strong>.

With IDEA StatiCa’s parametric templates, it’s easier than ever to handle simple and modular connections, especially when projects include variations of the same base design.</p>\n<p><strong>IDEA StatiCa offers a library of ready-made parametric templates</strong> for common connections like shear tabs, moment end plates, and gusset plates. These templates are fully parametric, allowing engineers to quickly adjust inputs like thicknesses, member sizes, and plate dimensions while maintaining the overall logic of the design.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"4841ab72-8214-4823-be0d-5da39464bfb4\" data-image-id=\"4841ab72-8214-4823-be0d-5da39464bfb4\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0cc53027-53f7-45a0-a88a-1ffce78cad22/parametric%20templates%20image.png\" data-asset-id=\"4841ab72-8214-4823-be0d-5da39464bfb4\" data-image-id=\"4841ab72-8214-4823-be0d-5da39464bfb4\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Even more valuable is the ability to <a data-item-id=\"6c8e336a-172b-461f-ad1d-0ae8e5fdac78\" href=\"\"><strong>create your own parametric templates</strong></a>. If your team regularly works with standardized designs that vary slightly from project to project, this allows you to build a starting point tailored to your needs. Simply select the key parameters you want to control, adjust them as needed, and run the design check, all without needing to build the connection from scratch.</p>\n<p>Parametric templates are a massive time-saver, especially for repeated or modular connections. Where manual modeling can take 20-30 minutes for new users, templates cut that down to just 5-10 minutes by allowing quick adjustments to a few key parameters. They’re not only faster, but they also help maintain consistency across similar connection types.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n6da61a33_deaf_01ab_d0a7_8d99d029fb74\"></object>\n<h2>New Connection Wizard</h2>\n<p>To make it even easier to start your connection design, the new <a data-item-id=\"cc99ba50-ed96-445b-b357-96fbd857ba58\" href=\"\">Connection Wizard</a> provides a guided workflow from the moment you launch IDEA StatiCa Connection.

The offset of concrete block to the base plate is 200 mm upwards and to the left, 300 mm to the right and 0 mm downwards. The height of concrete block is 600 mm. Left and right anchors are 50 mm and 100 mm from the center of the column, respectively. This serves to achieve tensile and shear load eccentricity. All plates are designed to stay in elastic state.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"5027912a-fc67-4fc6-912c-0d88c5d72d7d\" data-image-id=\"5027912a-fc67-4fc6-912c-0d88c5d72d7d\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/463b4317-6fb1-4f67-ab4f-e5061cd590d6/geometry1.png\" data-asset-id=\"5027912a-fc67-4fc6-912c-0d88c5d72d7d\" data-image-id=\"5027912a-fc67-4fc6-912c-0d88c5d72d7d\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"e485e5da-9b4c-47dd-9e6d-67948cd6adc5\" data-image-id=\"e485e5da-9b4c-47dd-9e6d-67948cd6adc5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/214b4ddc-9b9c-4186-8cd7-addce07ec311/geometry2.png\" data-asset-id=\"e485e5da-9b4c-47dd-9e6d-67948cd6adc5\" data-image-id=\"e485e5da-9b4c-47dd-9e6d-67948cd6adc5\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<h2>Applied load</h2>\n<p>The column is loaded by tensile force 10 kN and shear forces in <em>y</em> and <em>z</em> direction, –5 kN and 2 kN. Both tensile and shear forces are acting on an eccentricity due to the position of the anchors.</p>\n<h2>Procedure</h2>\n<p>The anchors are designed according to ACI 318-14 – Chapter 17. Cracked plain concrete is assumed in the design. All loads are considered as static. Anchors are M12 A325M, cast-in headed with circular washer plates with the diameter of 24 mm. Shear forces are transferred via anchors. The strength of plates and welds is sufficient and is not checked here.</p>\n<p>Note: The conversion of imperial units to metric units of nonhomogenous formulas is in Appendix B of ACI 318-14. The formulas give similar but not exactly the same results. To avoid different utilization for imperial and metric units, the imperial units are preferred and the coefficients in nonhomogenous formulas are slightly modified for metric units, e.g. in Equation 17.4.4.1, instead of coefficient 13, the more precise coefficient 13.2855 is used.</p>\n<h2>Manual calculation</h2>\n<p>The check of anchors is provided according to ACI 318-14 – Chapter 17. Steel strength in tension and shear and pullout strength is provided for individual anchors and concrete breakout strength in tension and shear, concrete side-face blowout strength, and concrete pryout strength is provided for group of anchors. It is assumed concrete is plain and in cracked condition.</p>\n<h3>Force distribution</h3>\n<p>The tensile force is transferred via 2 anchors, one is 50 mm from force vector origin, the other is 100 mm. It is presumed that the closer anchor transfers 2/3 of the tensile force and the farther 1/3, i.e. the closer anchor is loaded by tensile force <em>N</em><sub>f1</sub> = 6.67 kN, the farther by <em>N</em><sub>f2</sub> = 3.33 kN. The force eccentricity of the group of anchors is 25 mm.</p>\n<p>The shear force in the direction to the closest edge is transferred via 2 anchors, one is 50 mm from force vector origin, the other is 100 mm. It is presumed that the closer anchor transfers 2/3 of the shear force and the farther 1/3, i.e. the closer anchor is loaded by shear force <em>V</em><sub>fx1</sub> = 3.33 kN, the farther by <em>V</em><sub>fx2</sub> = 1.67 kN. The force eccentricity of the group of anchors is 25 mm. The shear force in the direction parallel to the closest edge, 2 kN, is distributed equally between both anchors. The vector sums of shear forces are <em>V</em><sub>f1</sub> = 3.48 kN, <em>V</em><sub>f2</sub> = 1.94 kN, and for a group of anchors <em>V</em><sub>f</sub> = 5.39 kN.</p>\n<h3>Steel strength of anchor in tension</h3>\n<p>Steel strength of anchor in tension is determined according to ACI 318-14 – 17.4.1 as</p>\n<p><em>ϕN</em><sub>sa</sub> = <em>ϕ A</em><sub>se,N</sub><em>f</em><sub>uta</sub> = 0.7 ⋅ 84 ⋅ 827.4 = 48.7 kN ≥ <em>N</em><sub>f1</sub> = 6.67 kN</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>ϕ</em> = 0.7 – strength reduction factor for anchors in tension according to ACI 318-14 – 17.3.3</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>se,N</sub> = 84 mm<sup>2</sup> – tensile stress area</li>\n <li><em>f</em><sub>uta</sub> = 827.4 MPa – specified tensile strength of anchor steel and shall not be greater than 1.9 <em>f</em><sub>ya</sub> and 120 ksi</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Utilization: <em>N</em><sub>f1</sub> / <em>ϕN</em><sub>sa</sub> = 6.67 / 48.7 = 13.7 %</p>\n<h3>Concrete breakout strength in tension</h3>\n<p>Concrete breakout strength is designed according to the Concrete Capacity Design (CCD) in ACI 318-14 – Chapter 17.4.2.

The column and base plate are deformed and the base plate is in contact with concrete block. The bearing stress increases the forces in anchors. Thus, factors taking into account force eccentricity are slightly different. Concrete side-face blowout strength is in IDEA StatiCa Connection checked for each anchor separately but in manual calculation, it can be checked as a group to achieve slightly higher resistance. Due to these reasons, some individual load resistances are slightly different but only by a few percents. The final utilization – interaction of tensile and shear forces – is nearly identical, 106.2 % in manual assessment and 107.7 % in IDEA StatiCa.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"ef52a2f3_594f_0117_d9f7_0fd515c08564\"></object>"

Bolt strength in bearing (AISC 360-16 – J3.10) and strength of plates in tension (AISC 360-16 – J4.1) are also checked. The bolt threads are intercepted by the shear plane.</p>\n<h2>Manual calculation</h2>\n<h3>Bolt strength</h3>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"a02943eb-f588-437c-9d92-9b867c8019b5\" data-image-id=\"a02943eb-f588-437c-9d92-9b867c8019b5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b263f217-89c6-4f63-9a34-422844ce9180/manual.PNG\" data-asset-id=\"a02943eb-f588-437c-9d92-9b867c8019b5\" data-image-id=\"a02943eb-f588-437c-9d92-9b867c8019b5\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The resistance of one shear plane of one bolt in shear is 27.6 kN. Each bolt has two shear planes and there are 9 bolts at each half of the splice. The resistance is therefore 2 ∙ 9 ∙ 27.6 = 496.7 kN.</p>\n<p>The bearing strength and tearout strength resist the force acting on both shear planes, i.e. 2 ∙ 27.6 = 55.2 kN. The smallest strength is the tearout strength of bolts near the edge of connected plates with the thickness of 10 mm, 121 kN. Other bolts have bearing strength of 128.1 kN and the decisive is the plate with the thickness of 10 mm.

Bolts are utilized at 99.9 % and plates are yielding. From the plastic strain at the connected plate, it can be seen that the reserve is not very high.</p>\n<h2>Comparison</h2>\n<p>The tensile forces in bolts are neglected in manual calculation but they do not affect the shear strength of bolts by much. The load resistance in IDEA StatiCa Connection is 494 kN while in manual calculation, it is 496 kN. In IDEA StatiCa Connection, bolts are decisive and the plates are yielding. In manual calculation, the bolts and plate tensile rupture have the same load resistance. The difference between results provided by software and manual calculation is only 0.4 %.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"b854cfbd_36a1_014e_7dab_1787bca269c6\"></object>"

Two approaches for the design of single plate shear connections are presented in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em>. The first, for “conventional” configurations, offers some simplifications if certain dimensional limitations are met. The second, for “extended” configurations, is more broadly applicable but without the simplifications permitted for the design of conventional configurations. Specifically, conventional configurations must have a single vertical row of between 2 and 12 bolts, the distance between the bolt line and the weld line, <em>a</em>, must be equal to or less than 3.5 in., bolts must be in standard holes or short-slotted holes transverse to the member reaction, the vertical edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em>, must satisfy the minimum edge distance requirements of Table J3.4 of the AISC <em>Specification</em> (2016), the horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em>, must be greater than or equal to 2<em>d</em>, where <em>d</em> is the bolt diameter, and either the thickness of the plate, <em>t</em><em><sub>p</sub></em>, or the thickness of the beam web, <em>t</em><em><sub>w</sub></em>, must satisfy maximum thickness requirements.</p>\n<p>The primary simplification to design for connections that meet these requirements is that bolt group strength may be evaluated as follows: bolt shear strength checked using the eccentricity listed in Table 10-9 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017) and bearing and tearout checked assuming the reaction is applied concentrically. This simplification avoids the need to consider tearout in an eccentrically loaded bolt group. For extended configuration calculations, where tearout is considered when determining the strength of the eccentrically loaded bolt group, two different methods are employed. The first method is a commonly used conservative approximation known as the “poison bolt” method. In this method, the strength of the eccentrically loaded bolt group is obtained by identifying the smallest possible strength for any of the bolts for any direction of force then utilizing that value of strength in conjunction with a value of <em>C</em> from the tables in Part 7 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The values of <em>C</em> listed in the tables are computed from the instantaneous center of rotation (IC) method. The second method is to use the modified instantaneous center of rotation method developed by Denavit et al. (2021) in which tearout is considered explicitly within the iterative procedure for determining the strength of the bolt group.</p>\n<p>Beyond bolt group strength, shear yielding of the plate, shear rupture of the plate, block shear rupture of the plate, and weld shear are also checked for conventional configurations. Additional checks for extended configurations include those for flexural rupture, plate interaction strength, and plate buckling.</p>\n<p>All traditional calculations were performed in accordance with the provisions for load and resistance factor design (LRFD) in the AISC <em>Specification</em> (2016).</p>\n<p>The CBFEM results were obtained from IDEA StatiCa Version 21.0. An example model is shown in Fig. 2. The maximum permitted loads were determined iteratively by adjusting the applied load input to a value that the program deems safe but if increased by a small amount (e.g., 0.1 kip) the program would deem unsafe. In all models, the supported beam was assigned a “N-Vz-My” model type to ensure in-plane behavior. Unless noted otherwise, forces were defined such that the point of zero moment was located at the weld line, matching the assumption of the design methods presented in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017).</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1918512d-44c9-4872-9571-db8e37035389\" data-image-id=\"1918512d-44c9-4872-9571-db8e37035389\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/79ac3744-5239-47e8-b103-9590f9953d52/Single%20plate%20shear2.png\" data-asset-id=\"1918512d-44c9-4872-9571-db8e37035389\" data-image-id=\"1918512d-44c9-4872-9571-db8e37035389\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 2 Single plate shear connection modeled in IDEA StatiCa.</em></p>\n<h2>2 Bolt Group Strength</h2>\n<p>First, connections, where the strength of the bolt group controls the strength of the connection, are investigated.

Bolt shear rupture was the controlling limit state for all values of <em>a</em> and all methods of calculation. The IDEA StatiCa results match well with the traditional calculations for the extended configuration. Where applicable, the traditional calculations for the conventional configuration give somewhat greater shear capacity. The reason for this is that a reduced eccentricity of <em>a</em>/2 is permitted to be assumed for conventional configurations per Table 10-9 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The eccentricity of the bolt group is taken as <em>a</em> for the extended configuration calculations. The eccentricity of the bolt group is also equal to <em>a</em> for IDEA StatiCa because the point of zero moment was defined to be at the weld line. The poison bolt method and the modified IC method provide the same results indicating that tearout did not control for any bolt (i.e., the plate and beam web were sufficiently thick and the bolt spacing and edge distances were sufficiently large).</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1c83acfc-3f77-4f00-bb6e-dc67d76eb290\" data-image-id=\"1c83acfc-3f77-4f00-bb6e-dc67d76eb290\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2a2bc715-a136-4478-84ba-c7a0496e5bd2/Single%20plate%20shear4.png\" data-asset-id=\"1c83acfc-3f77-4f00-bb6e-dc67d76eb290\" data-image-id=\"1c83acfc-3f77-4f00-bb6e-dc67d76eb290\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 4 Shear capacity of single plate shear connection with respect to ‘a’.</em></p>\n<p>Variation of the shear capacity with the distance <em>a</em> is presented in Fig. 5 for connections with the same properties as previously described but with two vertical rows of bolts (Fig. 6) and <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 1.5 in.

For these comparisons the column is a W14x90 and the supported beam, which frames into the flange of the column, is a W18x130. Both conform to ASTM A992 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). The plate is 14 in. tall (<em>s</em> = 3 in., <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em> = 1 in.) and conforms to ASTM A572 Gr. 50 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). The thickness of the plate varies from 3/16 in. to 3/4 in. in these analyses. There is one vertical row of (5) 3/4 in. diameter A490 bolts with threads not excluded from the shear plane and horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 1.5 in. Fillet welds were provided on both sides of the plate with size varying with plate thickness in accordance with the (<sup>5</sup>/<sub>8</sub>)<em>t</em><em><sub>p</sub></em> rule noted in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The distance from the weld line to the bolt line, <em>a</em>, was 3.0 in. These connections satisfy the requirements for the conventional configuration for plate thicknesses less than or equal to 7/16 in.</p>\n<p>Variation of the shear capacity of the connections with plate thickness is presented in Fig. 7 with the controlling limit sates presented in Table 1. The most notable result is that the traditional calculations for the extended configuration using the poison bolt method show far lower strengths than the other methods. The poison bolt method, in which the lowest possible strength for any bolt is taken as the strength of every bolt, can be highly conservative. However, it is used in practice for the evaluation of eccentrically loaded bolt groups where tearout may control. For this connection, the strength of all the bolts is based on the tearout strength of the bottom bolt using an edge distance of <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em> = 1 in. resulting in a clear distance <em>l</em><em><sub>c</sub></em> = 0.594 in. In IDEA StatiCa and the modified IC method, the strength of each individual bolt is based on the clear distance in the direction of force for that individual bolt. For example, at the limiting shear capacity of the connection with 1/4 in. thick plate, the clear distance for the bottom bolt computed by IDEA StatiCa is <em>l</em><em><sub>c</sub></em> = 1.240 in. based on the angle of load in the bolt (Fig. 8b). Tearout strength is proportional to clear distance, so the strength of the bolts per IDEA StatiCa is significantly greater than assumed in the poison bolt method.</p>\n<p>For the connections with the thinner plates, the plate controlled in both IDEA StatiCa and the traditional calculations (other than those using the poison bolt method). However, in IDEA StatiCa, plastic strains were concentrated at the holes of the top and especially the bottom bolts (Fig. 8). This contrasts with the assumed shear rupture failure plane used in the traditional calculations (i.e., a vertical line through the center of the bolts). Despite the differences in behavior, the resulting shear strength was close with IDEA StatiCa providing slightly lower shear capacities for the connections with the thinner plates.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"f53a9d93-44d2-478c-99a2-d061f3cb8a24\" data-image-id=\"f53a9d93-44d2-478c-99a2-d061f3cb8a24\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2869c09b-8eb4-4204-9c27-523a1056385d/Single%20plate%20shear7.png\" data-asset-id=\"f53a9d93-44d2-478c-99a2-d061f3cb8a24\" data-image-id=\"f53a9d93-44d2-478c-99a2-d061f3cb8a24\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 7 Shear Capacity of single plate shear connection with respect to plate thickness.</em></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><em>Table 1.

This section investigates two additional configurations, one where the supported beam frames into the web of a column and another where the supported beam frames into the web of a girder.</p>\n<p>For the case of the supported beam framing into the web of a column (Fig. 9), the column is a W27x114, and the supported beam is a W18x50. For the case of the supported beam framing into the web of a girder (Fig. 11), the girder is a W21x55, and the supported beam is a W18x46. All wide flange shapes conform to ASTM A992 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). For both cases, the plate is 13 in. tall (<em>s</em> = 3 in., <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em> = 2 in.), 3/8 in. thick, and conforms to ASTM A36 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 36 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 58 ksi). The connections have a single vertical row of (4) 3/4 in. diameter A325 bolts with threads not excluded from the shear plane and horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 2 in. The weld was a 5/16 in. fillet weld on both sides of the plate.

Accordingly, all the IDEA StatiCa analyses thus far in this document have utilized an equivalent assumption for the position on the member from the node where the load is applied, <em>X</em>. However, other choices of the location of the point of zero moment could be made, especially if the choice is made consistently with the location of the pin in the structural analysis model of the frame.</p>\n<p>Analyses were performed to investigate the impact of the location of the point of zero moment. For these analyses, the column is a W14x90, and the supported beam, which frames into the flange of the column, is a W18x143. Both conform to ASTM A992 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). The plate is 14 in. tall (<em>s</em> = 3 in., <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em> = 1 in.), 3/8 in. thick, and conforms to ASTM A572 Gr. 50 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). There is one vertical row of (5) 3/4 in. diameter A490 bolts with threads excluded from the shear plane and horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 1 in. Fillet welds were provided on both sides of the plate with size varying with plate thickness in accordance with the (<sup>5</sup>/<sub>8</sub>)<em>t</em><em><sub>p</sub></em> rule noted in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The distance from the weld line to the bolt line, <em>a</em>, was 9 in.</p>\n<p>Variation of the shear capacity with the distance <em>X</em> (measured from the centerline of the column to the location of the point of zero moment) is presented in Fig. 13. The controlling limit state per IDEA StatiCa was bolt tearout for x ≤ 16 in. and weld resistance for greater values of <em>X</em>. The controlling limit states for the traditional calculations using the modified IC method were bolt group strength for x < 17 in. and shear rupture of the plate for greater values of <em>X</em>. The controlling limit state for the traditional calculations using the poison bolt method was bolt group strength for all values of <em>X</em>. It is interesting to note that the IDEA StatiCa results were near those from the poison bolt method for this comparison. For these cases, the direction of the force in the controlling bolt is near that of the worst-case condition used in the poison bolt method (Fig. 14).</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"f8f1b122-82d9-487e-9037-6a37aadf6566\" data-image-id=\"f8f1b122-82d9-487e-9037-6a37aadf6566\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/df624fb8-6c6a-41ba-a529-c7f320de608f/Single%20plate%20shear13.png\" data-asset-id=\"f8f1b122-82d9-487e-9037-6a37aadf6566\" data-image-id=\"f8f1b122-82d9-487e-9037-6a37aadf6566\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 13 Shear capacity of single plate shear connection versus the location of the point of zero moment</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"ca4b343c-7172-4c9e-8c00-eb535caaf1af\" data-image-id=\"ca4b343c-7172-4c9e-8c00-eb535caaf1af\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b0f5dd53-44a8-4400-8876-96667a9585fa/Single%20plate%20shear14.png\" data-asset-id=\"ca4b343c-7172-4c9e-8c00-eb535caaf1af\" data-image-id=\"ca4b343c-7172-4c9e-8c00-eb535caaf1af\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 14 Detailed results for connection the position of the point of zero moment located at the weld line.</em></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"de791749_3c52_01ea_bd94_9ad1a63d8074\"></object>\n<h2>6 Stiffness Analysis</h2>\n<p>In addition to strength requirements, single plate shear connections must also satisfy rotation capacity requirements. Section B3.4a of the AISC <em>Specification</em> (2016) states that “a simple connection shall have sufficient rotation capacity to accommodate the required rotation determined by the analysis of the structure.” For the traditional calculations, this requirement is satisfied by maximum plate and beam web thickness limitations described in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). With IDEA StatiCa, this requirement can be satisfied by performing a stiffness analysis.</p>\n<p>The rotation capacities from a series of analyses on connections with varying plate thickness are presented in Fig. 15. For these analyses, the column is a W14x90, and the supported beam, which frames into the flange of the column, is a W18x130. Both conform to ASTM A992 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi).

There is one vertical row of (5) 7/8 in. diameter A325 bolts with threads not excluded from the shear plane and horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 1.5 in. Fillet welds were provided on both sides of the plate with size varying with plate thickness in accordance with the (<sup>5</sup>/<sub>8</sub>)<em>t</em><em><sub>p</sub></em> rule noted in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The distance from the weld line to the bolt line, <em>a</em>, was 3 in. These connections satisfy the requirements for the conventional configuration and rotation capacity since all plate thicknesses are less than or equal to 1/2 in. (AISC <em>Manual </em>Table 10-9).</p>\n<p>The analyses were performed using the ‘ST’ (stiffness) analysis type. Unlike the previous analyses, these models were loaded with bending moments about the major axis of the beam. The rotational capacity was independent of the magnitude of applied load.</p>\n<p>Per Section B3.4a of the AISC <em>Specification</em> (2016) the required rotation capacity is determined from the structural analysis and depends on the framing and loads. A value of 0.03 rad or 30 mrad is commonly accepted as a reasonable upper bound for beam end rotation and the plate thickness limitations of Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017) were calibrated to meet this upper bound (Muir and Thornton 2011). The rotation capacities shown in Fig. 15 are less than 30 mrad despite meeting the plate thickness requirements. The values may still be acceptable to a wide range of cases which have less beam end rotation than the upper bound, however, it is also possible that the stiffness analysis in IDEA StatiCa is not fully capturing the ductility of the connections. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"7fea45b3-435e-42d2-bfb3-299061967305\" data-image-id=\"7fea45b3-435e-42d2-bfb3-299061967305\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2ff74085-3a3a-4d90-b4ab-9842e0993b74/Single%20plate%20shear15.png\" data-asset-id=\"7fea45b3-435e-42d2-bfb3-299061967305\" data-image-id=\"7fea45b3-435e-42d2-bfb3-299061967305\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 15 Rotation capacity with respect to varying plate thickness.</em></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"d9ab241d_ab2c_0125_7aec_7c0be2ef8566\"></object>\n<h2>7 Summary</h2>\n<p>This study compared the design of single plate shear connections by traditional calculation methods used in US practice and IDEA StatiCa. Key observations from the study include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>The available strength of single plate shear connections per IDEA StatiCa agrees well with traditional calculations using the method for extended configurations.</li>\n <li>The available strength per IDEA StatiCa was found to be conservative in comparison to the traditional calculations using the method for conventional configurations, which assumes a reduced eccentricity in some cases.</li>\n <li>IDEA StatiCa detects the clear distance for each bolt individually for consideration of tearout, resulting in appropriate reductions in strength when edge distances are small.</li>\n <li>IDEA StatiCa allows the investigation of different assumed locations of the point of zero moment.</li>\n <li>Stiffness analysis in IDEA StatiCa can be used to evaluate the rotation capacity requirements of AISC <em>Specification</em> Section B3.4a. However, the results were found to be conservative in comparison to the design rules presented in the AISC <em>Manual</em> for the cases examined.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>8 References</h2>\n<p>AISC. (2016).

Capacity design is missing in Australian standard so New Zealand standard is used instead. Plastic hinge is expected to appear in dissipative item and all non-dissipative items of the joint must be able to safely transfer forces due to the yielding in the dissipative item. The dissipative item is usually a beam in moment resisting frame but it may also be e.g. an end plate. The safety factor is not used for dissipative items. The yield strength of the dissipative item is calculated as <em>F</em><sub>y,max</sub> = 0.9 <em>ϕ</em><sub>os</sub> <em>ϕ</em><sub>om</sub><em>f</em><sub>y</sub>, where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>ϕ</em><sub>os</sub> – strain-hardening factor; the recommended values are <em>ϕ</em><sub>os</sub> = 1.15 for beam in moment resisting frame, <em>γ</em><sub>sh</sub> = 1.0 otherwise; editable in operation</li>\n <li><em>ϕ</em><sub>om</sub> – overstrength factor – EN 1998-1, Cl. 6.2; the recommended value is <em>ϕ</em><sub>om</sub> = 1.3; editable in materials</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The material diagram is modified according to the following figure:</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"5933ab0d-9c8a-4f8c-920c-6f38f68ccea8\" data-image-id=\"5933ab0d-9c8a-4f8c-920c-6f38f68ccea8\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/c2d1b270-d2f2-46fd-ad58-dbd8122b9c17/Capacity_design.PNG\" data-asset-id=\"5933ab0d-9c8a-4f8c-920c-6f38f68ccea8\" data-image-id=\"5933ab0d-9c8a-4f8c-920c-6f38f68ccea8\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The increased strength of the dissipative item allows for the input of loads that cause the plastic hinge to appear in dissipative item. In the case of moment resisting frame and beam as the dissipative item, the beam should be loaded by <em>M</em><em><sub>y</sub></em> = <em>f</em><sub>y,max</sub><em>W</em><sub>pl,</sub><em><sub>y</sub></em> and corresponding shear force<em>V</em><em><sub>z</sub></em> = –2 <em>M</em><em><sub>y</sub></em> / <em>L</em><sub>h</sub>, where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>f</em><sub>y</sub> – characteristic yield strength</li>\n <li><em>W</em><sub>pl,</sub><em><sub>y</sub></em> – plastic section modulus</li>\n <li><em>L</em><sub>h</sub> – distance between plastic hinges on the beam</li>\n</ul>\n<p>In case of asymmetric joint, the beam should be loaded by both sagging and hogging bending moments and their corresponding shear forces.</p>\n<p>The plates of dissipative items are excluded from check.</p>"

Release notes 21 also describe major AISC update with explanations and tips. </p>\n<p>The new 21.0 version of IDEA StatiCa brings another batch of enhancements in Concrete to the engineering community as well. Starting with IDEA StatiCa Member application to be thoroughly verified and taken from BETA, accompanied by a set of improvements to the RCS application, such as fire resistance, or the Detail application, where the main attention has been paid to the CSFM solver.

What did we try to achieve with this version?

Connection Browser can now create company sets of steel connections. Two new BIM links, improved imports to Checkbot for all existing links. New connections modeling tools, better concrete result analysis, improved UI of our applications, and much more.</p>\n<p>Discover all the improvements below and Calculate yesterday's estimates!</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n4b71ac16_e7a2_01eb_34ff_f0e3bb6951af\"></object>\n<h2>News for Steel</h2>\n<p>Although our steel applications for connection and member design are leading the market already, we keep improving them rapidly. Connection Browser now enables you to create and share your connection designs with colleagues in your company. This means your unique company set of connections, synced automatically to all users of your license, ready to be used! </p>\n<p>We have solved the challenging cutting and welding of members going through another member of a hollow section. Moreover, you will be able to simulate the connection of the member to, for example, a slab providing additional support against lateral-torsional buckling. This works both for IDEA StatiCa Connection and IDEA StatiCa Member.</p>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa Connection is now also able to check the contact between a baseplate and a concrete block even without installed anchors. Our focus was also on updating our material library and complementing the code checks based on your design code. We have specified the points of consideration when connecting hollow sections with long bolts going through.</p>\n<p>Analysis of fatigue was supplemented by the checks of the stress directly in the welds as well as in plates next to them. And for better safety, the setup of loads in equilibrium will be the default from now on.</p>\n<p>Last but not least, our Connection Lite free cloud service was updated to comply with the latest desktop application.</p>\n<h3>Enable your team to design thousands of connections:</h3>\n<ul>\n <li>Connection Browser now creates company sets of your steel connection designs</li>\n <li>Improved filters to find and save connections</li>\n <li>Updated the default set of connections</li>\n</ul>\n<p> <a data-item-id=\"f15a7793-7b4f-4714-b8aa-13f6579d95e6\" href=\"\">Read about company sets & Connection Browser</a></p>\n<h3>Connection design and analysis improvements:</h3>\n<ul>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"97f7c92f-a7e8-45a5-978b-3187a9925415\" href=\"\">Surface - all around new cutting method</a> (since 21.1.2 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"3410fe73-5e05-4f0b-9e97-52c983c69bbd\" href=\"\">Lateral-Torsional Restraint at the member with defined stiffness</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"a2f4a486-315f-4571-a9b3-abdcfff0b7a8\" href=\"\">Fatigue analysis improvements</a> (since 21.1.1 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"f89307a5-4bac-4632-bb5f-1a2586f199a3\" href=\"\">Through bolts for hollow sections warning</a> (since 21.1.2 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"0f256907-a887-4488-93c1-a30f11220a33\" href=\"\">Baseplate connection without anchors</a> (since 21.1.4 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"da6f80aa-abfd-4e64-b691-1dc7ea8e3d4c\" href=\"\">Loads in equilibrium as default</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"e2d457a6-b2f9-4721-86be-c748df98ab24\" href=\"\">Material library and code checks update</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"213a6cc5-7041-41ba-b802-0c36bd1d724f\" href=\"\">Curve export to DXF</a></li>\n <li>Connection Lite update</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>News for Concrete and Prestressing</h2>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa Detail has earned a leading position in the design and assessment of concrete structures and details, especially in cases of difficult parts of the structures with openings or abrupt changes in geometry where classical beam theory cannot be applied. We have listened to your requests and developed frequently asked features to IDEA StatiCa Detail. Now engineers can minimize the errors and let IDEA StatiCa calculate the self-weight of the structure automatically. No matter how complex is the geometry, haunches, complex cross-sections, discontinuity regions with different thicknesses. We improved and speed up the CSFM solver and expanded the analysis results. IDEA StatiCa Detail is a powerful, fast, and safe tool for the structural design of concrete structures.</p>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa Member - in the previous version, we implemented the GMNIA nonlinear method. In version 22, we focused on user interface improvements, such as facilitating the input of geometry and loads, and especially on the interpretation of the outputs of the nonlinear analysis. These UI improvements speed up the process of modeling, facilitate the inputs and make your work in IDEA StatiCa Member even more efficient.</p>\n<p>The improvements in Concrete and Prestressing include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"0e81f59d-e89c-424e-8e89-d2b86855097e\" href=\"\">Auto-calculation of self-weight of discontinuity regions</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"e72403d0-17fe-4c34-9f4f-3efe4b71a8fc\" href=\"\">Up to 4-times faster CSFM solver</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"c80ce766-75f2-407b-9dd0-6f06b8f0ee22\" href=\"\">Thorough CSFM results are available</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"ba69d356-8ed7-4fe3-8f66-f74fd6d3a159\" href=\"\">Auto-calculation of short-term losses for post-tensioned tendons in IDEA StatiCa Detail</a> </li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"11428b88-a3f6-4b73-8e0e-3080894c3633\" href=\"\">Bulk import from DXF drawing to IDEA StatiCa Detail</a> (since 21.1.1 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"73df02c3-5ea5-460a-b0e2-0738bca2595f\" href=\"\">Ordering of load cases in IDEA StatiCa Detail</a> (since 21.1.1 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"48a5fe9b-d1ec-4d33-9c74-a5b65cb56026\" href=\"\">Improved result interpretation of concrete members</a> (since 21.1.2 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"bae25668-6a99-45be-955e-c380837b7dd2\" href=\"\">Model management improved, right-click actions and point loads in Member</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"e6864600-b2e4-4368-865f-77dc7bec4f72\" href=\"\">Implementation of the Dutch Annex NEN 1992-1-1 NB 2020 for code-checks of reinforced and prestressed concrete sections</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"293fcced-8994-4a81-a805-88267657c66a\" href=\"\">Update of an eccentricity definition of a normal force for concrete compressed columns</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>News for BIM links</h2>\n<p>Structural engineers use <a data-item-id=\"caeb1a6c-2621-446f-8005-4d2799496a39\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Checkbot</a> a lot - on average, nearly 40,000 steel connections are imported every month worldwide.

And that means something – IDEA StatiCa is used by over 3500 customers who share more than 4000 unique IDEA StatiCa projects <strong>every month</strong>.</p>\n<p>How did we get from number 10 to 20? The sheer volume of new functionalities seems to justify the “+10,” but the reason is more straightforward – align the numbering with year count. In 2020, we release IDEA StatiCa 20.</p>\n<p>This version brings an exceptional volume of new features and improvements. All that with our focus to enable engineers to work faster, evaluate the requirements of the national code thoroughly, and use the optimal amount of material. Highlights are:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>New online licensing system – no more hassle with installation</li>\n <li>IDEA StatiCa can now generate “sketches” to speed up the detailing process</li>\n <li>110 new connection templates added to the starting wizard</li>\n <li>Steel-to-timber connections can now be designed and checked</li>\n <li>Cross-section databases are now automatically filtered based on your regional settings</li>\n <li>Hong Kong and Indian codes are now supported</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We hope you will enjoy all our new features and improvements and would love to hear your feedback anytime. </p>\n<p>BTW, expect a little break from new features in Steel for the rest of the year. The 2020 autumn release will be focused on Concrete and BIM.</p>\n<p>Calculate yesterday’s estimates!</p>"

However, there are many locations on the structure where the theory of members is not valid, e.g., welded joints, bolted connections, footing, holes in walls, the tapering height of cross-section and point loads. The structural analysis in such locations is difficult and it requires special attention. The behavior is non-linear and the nonlinearities must be respected, e.g., yielding of the material of plates, contact between end plates or base plate and concrete block, one-sided actions of bolts and anchors, welds. Design codes, e.g. EN1993-1-8, and also technical literature offer engineering solution methods. Their general feature is derivation for typical structural shapes and simple loadings. The method of components is used very often.</p>\n<h4>Component method</h4>\n<p>The component method (CM) solves the joint as a system of interconnected items – components. The corresponding model is built per each joint type to be able to determine forces and stresses in each component – see the following picture.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"cedfb2e2-64f2-40c2-8fec-92c8ad55a3ed\" data-image-id=\"cedfb2e2-64f2-40c2-8fec-92c8ad55a3ed\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/46167222-5959-469c-8c60-8a14b0148787/General%20introduction%20for%20structural%20design%20of%20steel%20connections.png\" data-asset-id=\"cedfb2e2-64f2-40c2-8fec-92c8ad55a3ed\" data-image-id=\"cedfb2e2-64f2-40c2-8fec-92c8ad55a3ed\" alt=\"IDEA StatiCa Connection theoretical background for the advanced structural design of steel connections. Structural design of welded and bolted steel connections using the Component Based Finite Element Model CBFEM).\"></figure>\n<p>The components of a joint with bolted end plates modeled by springs</p>\n<p>Each component is checked separately using corresponding formulas. As the proper model must be created for each joint type, the method usage has limits when solving joints of general shapes and general loads.</p>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa together with a project team of Department of Steel and Timber Structures of Faculty of Civil Engineering in Prague and Institute of Metal and Timber Structures of Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Brno University of Technology, developed a method for advanced design of steel structural joints.</p>\n<p><strong>Component Based Finite Element Model</strong> (<a href=\"https://www.cbfem.com/\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CBFEM</a>) method is:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>General</strong> enough to be usable for most of the joints, footings, and details in engineering practice.</li>\n <li><strong>Simple and fast</strong> enough in daily practice to provide results in a time comparable to current methods and tools.</li>\n <li><strong>Comprehensive</strong> enough to provide structural engineer clear information about joint behavior, stress, strain, and reserves of individual components and about overall safety and reliability.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The CBFEM method is based on the idea that most of the verified and very useful parts of CM should be kept. The weak point of CM – its generality when analyzing stresses of individual components – was replaced by modeling and analysis using the Finite Element Method (FEM).</p>\n<p>FEM is a general method commonly used for structural analysis. The usage of FEM for modeling of joints of any shapes seems to be ideal (Virdi, 1999). The elastic-plastic analysis is required, as the steel ordinarily yields in the structure. In fact, the results of the linear analysis are useless for joint design.</p>\n<p>FEM models are used for research purposes of joint behavior, which usually apply spatial elements and measured values of material properties.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"ea4a8ae4-b44a-4176-a7df-1b27731870ab\" data-image-id=\"ea4a8ae4-b44a-4176-a7df-1b27731870ab\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/f4350bd3-6406-41af-bb2b-ad67a241fade/T-stub-research.png\" data-asset-id=\"ea4a8ae4-b44a-4176-a7df-1b27731870ab\" data-image-id=\"ea4a8ae4-b44a-4176-a7df-1b27731870ab\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>FEM model of a joint for research.

Modeling of such elements in general FEM programs is difficult because the programs do not offer the required properties. Thus, special FEM components had to be developed to model the welds and bolts behavior in a joint.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"776fe656-ccd3-49b7-aa3f-db4d31162c9c\" data-image-id=\"776fe656-ccd3-49b7-aa3f-db4d31162c9c\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/c37c3b86-71aa-4dd2-9afe-58e25c224a25/CBFEM-bolted_connection.png\" data-asset-id=\"776fe656-ccd3-49b7-aa3f-db4d31162c9c\" data-image-id=\"776fe656-ccd3-49b7-aa3f-db4d31162c9c\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>CBFEM model of bolted connection by end plates</em></p>\n<p>Joints of members are modeled as massless points when analyzing steel frame or girder structure. Equilibrium equations are assembled in joints and internal forces on the ends of beams are determined after solving the whole structure. In fact, the joint is loaded by those forces. The resultant of forces from all members in the joint is zero – the whole joint is in equilibrium.</p>\n<p>The real shape of a joint is not known in the structural model. The engineer only defines whether the joint is assumed to be rigid or hinged.</p>\n<p>It is necessary to create a trustworthy model of joint, which respect the real state, to design the joint properly. The ends of members with the length of a 2-3 multiple of maximal cross-section height are used in the CBFEM method. These segments are modeled using shell elements.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"0b89c581-e70a-4ff4-bb77-7ba3289f5c31\" data-image-id=\"0b89c581-e70a-4ff4-bb77-7ba3289f5c31\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/63f85aa4-522f-4485-8a75-08c0e58c5788/Massless_joint.png\" data-asset-id=\"0b89c581-e70a-4ff4-bb77-7ba3289f5c31\" data-image-id=\"0b89c581-e70a-4ff4-bb77-7ba3289f5c31\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>A theoretical (massless) joint and real shape of the joint without modified member ends</em></p>\n<p>For better precision of the CBFEM model, the end forces on 1D members are applied as loads on the segment ends. Sextuplets of forces from the theoretical joint are transferred to the end of the segment – the values of forces are kept, but the moments are modified by the actions of forces on corresponding arms.</p>\n<p>The segment ends at the joint are not connected. The connection must be modeled. So-called manufacturing operations are used in the CBFEM method to model the connection. Manufacturing operations are especially: cuts, offsets, holes, stiffeners, ribs, end plates and splices, cleats, gusset plates, and others. Fastening elements (welds and bolts) are also added.</p>\n<p><a data-item-id=\"b0a659df-8f92-4d1f-abb6-2efa02bad946\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Connection</a> can perform two types of analysis:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Geometrically linear analysis with material and contact nonlinearities for stress and strain analysis,</li>\n <li>Eigenvalue analysis to determine the possibility of buckling.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>In the case of connections, the geometrically nonlinear analysis is not necessary unless plates are very slender.

"value": "<p>Increase in number of elements provides more precise results but at the cost of higher computational demand.</p>\n<h4>Plate model</h4>\n<p>Shell elements are recommended for modeling of plates in the FEA of structural connection. 4-node quadrangle shell elements with nodes at its corners are applied. Six degrees of freedom are considered in each node: 3 translations (<em>u</em><sub>x</sub>, <em>u</em><sub>y</sub>, <em>u</em><sub>z</sub>) and 3 rotations (<em>φ</em><sub>x</sub>, <em>φ</em><sub>y</sub>, <em>φ</em><sub>z</sub>). Deformations of the element are divided into the membrane and the flexural components.</p>\n<p>The formulation of the membrane behavior is based on the work by Ibrahimbegovic (1990). Rotations perpendicular to the plane of the element are considered. Complete 3D formulation of the element is provided. The out-of-plane shear deformations are considered in the formulation of the flexural behavior of an element based on Mindlin hypothesis. Our inhouse stabilised variant of Mindlin quad plate element with constat shear deforamtion along edge are applied. The elements are inspired by MITC4 elements; see Dvorkin (1984). The shell is divided into five integration layers through thickness of the plate at each integration point and plastic behavior is analyzed in each point. It is called Gauss–Lobatto integration. The nonlinear elastic-plastic stage of material is analyzed in each layer based on the known strains. Only the maximum stresses and strains of all layers are shown.</p>\n<h4>Mesh convergence</h4>\n<p>There are some criteria for the mesh generation in the connection model. The connection check should be independent of the element size. Mesh generation on a separate plate is problem-free. Attention should be paid to complex geometries such as stiffened panels, T-stubs, and base plates. The sensitivity analysis considering mesh discretization should be performed for complicated geometries.</p>\n<p>All plates of a beam cross-section have a common division into elements. The size of generated finite elements is limited. The minimal element size is set to 10 mm and the maximal element size to 50 mm (can be set in Code setup). Meshes on flanges and webs are independent of each other. The default number of finite elements is set to 8 elements per cross-section height as shown in the following figure. The user can modify the default values in Code setup.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"56b04327-298f-4d82-9f7d-0c066664772c\" data-image-id=\"56b04327-298f-4d82-9f7d-0c066664772c\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/82635179-c288-44ba-bf8d-c12b80a32766/Structural%20design%20of%20a%20steel%20connection%20-%20Plate%20model%20and%20mesh%20convergence.png\" data-asset-id=\"56b04327-298f-4d82-9f7d-0c066664772c\" data-image-id=\"56b04327-298f-4d82-9f7d-0c066664772c\" alt=\"IDEA StatiCa Connection theoretical background for the advanced structural design of steel connections.

"value": "<p>There exist several options for how to treat welds in numerical models. The large deformations make the mechanical analysis more complex, and it is possible to use different mesh descriptions, different kinetic and kinematic variables, and constitutive models. The different types of geometric 2D and 3D models and thereby finite elements with their applicability for different accuracy levels are generally used. The most often used material model is the common rate-independent plasticity model based on the von Mises yield criterion. Two approaches that are used for welds are described. Residual stress and deformation caused by welding are not assumed in the design model.</p>\n<p>The load is transmitted through force-deformation constraints based on the Lagrangian formulation to the opposite plate. The connection is called multi-point constraint (MPC) and relates the finite element nodes of one plate edge to another. The finite element nodes are not connected directly. The advantage of this approach is the ability to connect meshes with different densities. The constraint allows modeling the midline surface of the connected plates with the offset, which respects the real weld configuration and throat thickness. The load distribution in the weld is derived from the MPC, so the stresses are calculated in the throat section. This is important for the stress distribution in the plate under the weld and for modeling of T-stubs.</p>\n<h4>Plastic stress redistribution in welds</h4>\n<p>The model with only multi-point constraints does not respect the stiffness of the weld, and the stress distribution is conservative. Stress peaks that appear at the end of plate edges, in corners, and rounding, govern the resistance along the whole length of the weld. To eliminate the effect, a special elastoplastic element is added between the plates. The element respects the weld throat thickness, position, and orientation. The equivalent weld solid is inserted with the corresponding weld dimensions. The nonlinear material analysis is applied, and elastoplastic behavior in equivalent weld solid is determined. The plasticity state is controlled by stresses in the weld throat section. The stress peaks are redistributed along the longer part of the weld length.</p>\n<p>The elastoplastic model of welds gives real values of stress, and there is no need to average or interpolate the stress. Calculated values at the most stressed weld element are used directly for checks of the weld component. This way, there is no need to reduce the resistance of multi-oriented welds, welds to unstiffened flanges, or long welds.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" data-image-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0bd27c97-ebab-4887-9fc1-d9027cdf3df8/Structural%20design%20of%20a%20steel%20connection%20-%20Welds.png\" data-asset-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" data-image-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" alt=\"IDEA StatiCa Connection theoretical background for the advanced structural design of steel connections.

"value": "<p>It's interesting how different approaches to the same structure we could find throughout the regions, companies, or even between different designers. While some would weld everything together without thinking about a single bolt, others would cut the structure into several parts and connect everything together with dozens of bolts. Both approaches to connecting the structural members have their pros and cons. </p>\n<p>Purely welded connections are stiffer than bolted connections and are thus considered to be safer or can reduce deflections. But then some experienced (meaning expensive) welder has to be somewhere on site, safely hanged in the space, often in inhospitable weather. The weld quality checks are sometimes not even possible, and the less precise work brings obviously higher material costs.</p>\n<p>The workshop welding on the other hand may be more precise, it also requires transporting to the site. And onsite welding is often expensive in implementation and over-usage of welding materials. Read on to learn which approach best suits your projects.</p>\n<p>You already know that IDEA StatiCa can help you calculate not only the stiffness of the weld connections but also estimate the costs of the connection depending on the weld type, etc. That is not something new under the sun. <a data-item-id=\"dc6882ef-317b-417a-b684-943901355f3d\" href=\"\">You can read one of our articles about the connection cost calculation</a>. </p>\n<p>But we also believe that connection designs should be as precise as possible while securing sufficient connection resistance. And one of our features can help you exactly with this. </p>\n<h2>Designing contact between column and base plate</h2>\n<p>Imagine you need to design a steel column welded to its base plate. The load must be transferred from the upper structure to the foundations. In certain countries, it is possible to include the contact between the column and its base plate when evaluating the compressive strength of the connection.</p>\n<p>In most standards, such as Eurocode, the load is assumed to flow through the welds only. Therefore, the welds must be designed so that they resist the full compressive force from the structure above. Nevertheless, you can imagine that there exists a certain contact between the base of the column and its baseplate even before these two are welded together.</p>\n<p>In some regions, the technical guides allow taking this contact into account when evaluating the compressive resistance. Of course, there are certain criteria to be fulfilled so that it is permitted to use this approach. Then, the contact brings an additional resistance to the compressive strength of the base weld which leads to a more economical design of the welds.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"eb79d5c6-d879-4afb-a5c1-5df03982810a\" data-image-id=\"eb79d5c6-d879-4afb-a5c1-5df03982810a\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2a16ecdf-f660-47b6-bb32-9b9aeecf3314/6.png\" data-asset-id=\"eb79d5c6-d879-4afb-a5c1-5df03982810a\" data-image-id=\"eb79d5c6-d879-4afb-a5c1-5df03982810a\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The <a data-item-id=\"68076977-c9aa-4fa5-b726-09433e204c2b\" href=\"\">model of the weld</a> will then be set to have high stiffness. Once it starts to yield (i.e. to deform plastically), the contact is activated and the compression is taken by the contact. This leads to significant values of the stress in the weld even if the contact is applied. However, importantly, the resistance of the weld in shear is not decreased. The weld is not checked in compression anymore as this is taken by the contact but the tension and shear are still assigned to the weld and the appropriate checks are conducted.</p>\n<p>Practically speaking, you will add a contact <strong>and</strong> a weld on the appropriate edges of the member (the column in this instance) at the same time. From the load transfer perspective, the contact will be effective in compression only while the welds will transfer shear and tension forces. Both operations are available under the “Weld or contact” manufacturing operation.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"29614fc0-aa03-499c-b343-7c518253d397\" data-image-id=\"29614fc0-aa03-499c-b343-7c518253d397\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/d7f5114a-1fcd-4da4-9496-44a11d412653/1.png\" data-asset-id=\"29614fc0-aa03-499c-b343-7c518253d397\" data-image-id=\"29614fc0-aa03-499c-b343-7c518253d397\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>This is what you will see in IDEA StatiCa Connection:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>A red line representing the compressive contact is combined with a yellow line used to indicate the welds (when the transparent view is activated)</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"9a6d9cfe-6a47-4004-ac16-16dc15eadf5d\" data-image-id=\"9a6d9cfe-6a47-4004-ac16-16dc15eadf5d\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/6af8d357-08a5-4696-bc89-3f5b3938463a/5.png\" data-asset-id=\"9a6d9cfe-6a47-4004-ac16-16dc15eadf5d\" data-image-id=\"9a6d9cfe-6a47-4004-ac16-16dc15eadf5d\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<ul>\n <li>In the results and reports, a down-facing arrow has been added next to the rectangle symbol of the fillet weld</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"49e646c3-621b-4946-98c5-3330d6b697dc\" data-image-id=\"49e646c3-621b-4946-98c5-3330d6b697dc\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/40b0ff4a-152f-4245-af7e-7424793620db/7.png\" data-asset-id=\"49e646c3-621b-4946-98c5-3330d6b697dc\" data-image-id=\"49e646c3-621b-4946-98c5-3330d6b697dc\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>You can apply any type of fillet weld in combination with the contact (i.e. continuous, partial, or intermittent).

The bolt model used in CBFEM is described and verified to several steel design codes. The load resistance and deformation capacity are also compared to the main experimental research programs.</p>\n<p>In the Component-Based Finite Element Method (CBFEM), bolt with its behavior in tension, shear, and bearing is the component described by the dependent nonlinear springs. The bolt in tension is described by spring with its axial initial stiffness, design resistance, initialization of yielding, and deformation capacity. For the initialization of yielding and deformation capacity, it is assumed that plastic deformation occurs in the threaded part of the bolt shank only.</p>\n<p>In our Theoretical background, you can find <a data-item-id=\"c2cc67f3-4000-4959-a195-b28becf63f2a\" href=\"\">more information on how the CBFEM method describes and verifies bolts</a>. If you want to know a bit more about CBFEM in general, the full <a data-item-id=\"d4aa2923-a94a-4c40-8fd8-93608acbf893\" href=\"\">General theoretical background</a> is definitely the best place to start from.</p>\n<h2>Bolts according to design codes</h2>\n<p>Let's take a look at how CBFEM approaches bolts from the point of view of individual design codes. So far, IDEA StatiCa supports eight design codes where design and/or detailing of bolts and preloaded bolts are being solved. </p>\n<h3>Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to Eurocode</h3>\n<p>The initial stiffness and design resistance of bolts in shear are in CBFEM modeled according to Cl. 3.6 and 6.3.2 in EN 1993-1-8. The spring representing bearing and tension has a bi-linear force-deformation behavior with an initial stiffness and design resistance according to Cl. 3.6 and 6.3.2 in EN 1993-1-8.</p>\n<p><strong>Detailing </strong></p>\n<p>Checks of bolts is performed if the option is selected in Code setup. Dimensions from bolt center to plate edges and between bolts are checked. Edge distance <em>e</em> = 1.2 and spacing between bolts <em>p</em> = 2.2 are recommended in Table 3.3 in EN 1993-1-8. Users can modify both values in the Code setup.</p>\n<h3>Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to AISC</h3>\n<p>The forces in bolts are determined by finite element analysis. The tensile forces include prying forces. The bolt resistances are checked according to AISC 360 - Chapter J3.</p>\n<p><strong>Detailing </strong></p>\n<p>The minimum spacing between bolts and distance to the bolt center to an edge of a connected part is checked. The minimum spacing 2.66 times (editable in Code setup) the nominal bolt diameter between centers of bolts is checked according to AISC 360-16 – J.3.3. The minimum distance to the bolt center to an edge of a connected part is checked according to AISC 360-16 – J.3.4; the values are in Table J3.4 and J3.4M.</p>\n<h3>Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to other standards</h3>\n<ul>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-and-preloaded-bolts-according-to-cisc\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to CISC (Canada)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-and-preloaded-bolts-according-to-chinese-standard\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to Chinese standard (GB)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-according-to-hong-kong-code\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts according to Hong Kong Code (HKG)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-according-to-is-800\">Check of preloaded bolts according to IS 800 (India)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-and-preloaded-bolts-according-to-sp\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to SP (Russia)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-and-preloaded-bolts-according-to-as\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to AS (Australia)</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Bolt detailing </h2>\n<p><strong>How to set the distances</strong></p>\n<p>Edge distances used for bolt bearing resistance must be relevant for general plate geometries, plates with openings, cutouts, etc.</p>\n<p>The algorithm reads the real direction of the resulting shear force vector in a given bolt and then calculates the distances needed for the bearing check.</p>\n<p>The end (<em>e</em><sub>1</sub>) and edge (<em>e</em><sub>2</sub>) distances are determined by dividing the plate contour into three segments. The end segment is indicated by a 60° range in the direction of the force vector. The edge segments are defined by two 65° ranges perpendicular to the force vector. The shortest distance from a bolt to a relevant segment is then taken as an end, or an edge distance.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"206cf95d-3010-4d11-ab8a-aceb3f62bdc6\" data-image-id=\"206cf95d-3010-4d11-ab8a-aceb3f62bdc6\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/c166c28a-3f8f-4d50-99ba-857ed9b01e6c/Bolt%20bearing%20distances%201.png\" data-asset-id=\"206cf95d-3010-4d11-ab8a-aceb3f62bdc6\" data-image-id=\"206cf95d-3010-4d11-ab8a-aceb3f62bdc6\" alt=\"Bolt bearing distances (EN)\"></figure>\n<p>The spacing distances between bolt holes (<em>p</em><sub>1</sub>; <em>p</em><sub>2</sub>) are determined by virtually enlarging the surrounding bolt holes by a half of their diameter, then drawing two lines in direction and perpendicular to the shear force vector.

"value": "<h2>Weld model according to CBFEM</h2>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa has a unique method in its solver, the Component-based Finite Element Method (CBFEM). The weld model used in <a data-item-id=\"6e068636-6a02-5d0e-89ad-6dcff4e21151\" href=\"\">CBFEM</a> is described and verified to several steel design codes. The load resistance and deformation capacity are also compared to the main experimental research programs.</p>\n<p>There are several options on how to treat welds in numerical models. The large deformations make the mechanical analysis more complex and it is possible to use different mesh descriptions, different kinetic and kinematic variables, and constitutive models. Generally, different types of geometric 2D and 3D models and thereby finite elements with their applicability for different accuracy levels are used. The most often applied material model is the common rate-independent plasticity model based on <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Mises_yield_criterion\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">von Mises yield criterion</a>. Residual stress and deformation caused by welding are not assumed in the design model.</p>\n<p>The load is transmitted through force-deformation constraints based on the Lagrangian formulation to the opposite plate. The connection is called multi-point constraint (MPC) and relates the finite element nodes of one plate edge to another edge or surface. The finite element nodes are not connected directly. The advantage of this approach is the ability to connect meshes with different densities. The constraint allows to model midline surface of the connected plates with the offset, which respects the real weld configuration and throat thickness. The load distribution in the weld is derived from the MPC, so the stresses are calculated in the throat section. This is important for the stress distribution in the plate under the weld and for modeling of T-stubs.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" data-image-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0bd27c97-ebab-4887-9fc1-d9027cdf3df8/Structural%20design%20of%20a%20steel%20connection%20-%20Welds.png\" data-asset-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" data-image-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" alt=\"IDEA StatiCa Connection theoretical background for the advanced structural design of steel connections.

Such welds are then added and imported along with the rest of the components. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"66cc6cf4-0454-4973-80d1-c036df7af58d\" data-image-id=\"66cc6cf4-0454-4973-80d1-c036df7af58d\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/e38caf39-0947-4aff-be81-7d3eb57ada99/Screenshot%202020-10-05%20122254.png\" data-asset-id=\"66cc6cf4-0454-4973-80d1-c036df7af58d\" data-image-id=\"66cc6cf4-0454-4973-80d1-c036df7af58d\" alt=\"Export of recommended welds\"></figure>\n<h3>Missing weld check</h3>\n<p>To avoid <a data-item-id=\"9831da0e-b8f1-415e-9654-03ffa0408086\" href=\"\">singularity on your connection</a>, once the connection is transferred to IDEA StatiCa, it is good to check if there are not any missing welds in the joint. For this purpose, we have added another useful tool to automatically help the user to find non-welded parts of the connection.

The validity of results is shown on a set of examples for each design code. The finite element model is being generated automatically, which is a great advantage to general FEM programs. Recently, several improvements were added to speed up the connection import process from CAD software.</p>\n<p>Welds are a great way to assemble steel connections but engineers need an accurate and fast tool for their design and code-check. That is why to use IDEA StatiCa in your projects. </p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n2a3bd364_53ec_01d9_4480_103be7b196bf\"></object>\n<p>If you want to improve your connection design skills, why not try our <a data-item-id=\"3e6d7716-0c0c-4aa5-b3f1-bbc0bededcbc\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Campus</a> online training?</p>"

"value": "<h4>Design model</h4>\n<p>In CBFEM, it is convenient to simplify the concrete block as 2D contact elements. The connection between the concrete and the base plate resists in compression only. Compression is transferred via the Winkler-Pasternak subsoil model, representing deformations of the concrete block. The tension force between the base plate and concrete block is carried by the anchor bolts. The shear force is transferred by friction between a base plate and a concrete block, by shear key and by bending of anchor bolts and friction. The resistance of bolts in shear is assessed analytically. Friction and shear key are modeled as a full single point constraint in the plane of the base plate – concrete contact.</p>\n<h4>Deformation stiffness</h4>\n<p>The stiffness of the concrete block may be predicted for the design of column bases as an elastic hemisphere. A Winkler-Pasternak subsoil model is commonly used for a simplified calculation of foundations. The stiffness of subsoil is determined using modulus of elasticity of concrete and the effective height of a subsoil as:</p>\n<p>\\[ k = \\frac{E_c}{(\\alpha_1 + \\upsilon) \\sqrt{\\frac{A_{eff}}{A_{ref}}}} \\left( \\frac{1}{\\frac{h}{a_2 d} + a_3}+a_4 \\right) \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>k</em> – stiffness of concrete subsoil in compression</li>\n <li><em>E</em><sub>c</sub> – modulus of elasticity of concrete</li>\n <li><em>υ</em> – Poisson's coefficient of the concrete block</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>eff</sub> – effective area in compression</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>ref</sub> = 1 m<sup>2</sup> – reference area</li>\n <li><em>d</em> – base plate width</li>\n <li><em>h</em> – concrete block height</li>\n <li><em>a</em><sub>1</sub> = 1.65; <em>a</em><sub>2</sub> = 0.5; <em>a</em><sub>3</sub> = 0.3; <em>a</em><sub>4</sub> = 1.0 – coefficients</li>\n</ul>\n<p>SI units must be used in the formula, the resulting unit is N/m<sup>3</sup>.</p>\n<h3>Transfer of shear load at the base plate</h3>\n<p>The shear load at the base plate can be transferred by three means:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Friction</li>\n <li>Shear lug</li>\n <li>Anchors</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Users can choose the mean by editing the base plate operation. No combination of means is allowed in the software, however, EN 1993-1-8 – Cl. 6.2.2 and Fib 58 – Chapter 4.2 allows for the combination of shear transfer by anchors and friction under certain conditions. In general, it is conservative to neglect friction in the anchorage design, although it may in some cases lead to an underestimation of concrete cracking at the serviceability level. As a rule, frictional resistance should be neglected if:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>the thickness of the grout layer exceeds one-half the anchor diameter,</li>\n <li>the anchorage capacity is governed by a near-edge condition,</li>\n <li>the anchorage is intended to resist earthquake loads.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The combination with a shear lug should never be allowed due to the deformation compatibility.</p>\n<h4>Transfer of shear load by friction</h4>\n<p>The shear resistance equals the resistance safety factor multiplied by friction coefficient editable in Code setup and compressive load. The compressive load includes all forces, e.g. in case of a column base loaded by compressive force and bending moment, the compressive load used for frictional shear resistance might be higher than the applied compressive force.</p>\n<h4>Transfer of shear load by shear lug</h4>\n<p>The shear lug is simulated as a stub encased in concrete under the base plate. The shear load is estimated to be transferred by uniform load distribution acting on the whole portion of the shear lug embedded in the concrete block, i.e. all nodes of the shear lug below the concrete surface are uniformly loaded. The portion of the shear lug above the concrete surface in grout is not assumed to transfer the shear load.</p>\n<p>Be aware that the lever arm between the applied shear load (at the base plate) and the shear resistance (half-height of the shear lug embedded in concrete) causes a bending moment which must be transferred by compressive force in concrete and tensile forces in anchors.</p>\n<p>The shear lug consists of shell finite elements and is checked as regular plates. Also, the welds of the shear lug to the base plate are checked using standard procedures in <a data-item-id=\"b0a659df-8f92-4d1f-abb6-2efa02bad946\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Connection</a>. Manual calculation usually assumes beam theory for the shear lug, although it is not accurate because the length to width ratio is very small for shear lug. Therefore, there might be a significant difference between IDEA StatiCa Connection and manual calculation.</p>\n<h4>Transfer of shear load by anchors</h4>\n<p>The shear resistance is determined by the shear resistance of anchors. The steel resistance of anchors have elastoplastic load-deformation curve, but the concrete failure modes are considered as perfectly brittle.</p>"

This approach is specifically intended for scenarios where the base plate is perpendicular to the anchored member. When using this operation, anchors are generated automatically. Additionally, the shape of the base plate can be customized in the <strong>Editor</strong>, allowing modifications such as creating base plates with <strong>round edges</strong> to suit specific design needs and specifying <strong>slotted holes</strong> for anchors. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"4fcf31c7-5a06-4d65-a726-5c9dba9ae6ac\" data-image-id=\"4fcf31c7-5a06-4d65-a726-5c9dba9ae6ac\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/cbe53c8a-1766-48c4-985f-cb88e9baa492/Base%20plate%20operation.png\" data-asset-id=\"4fcf31c7-5a06-4d65-a726-5c9dba9ae6ac\" data-image-id=\"4fcf31c7-5a06-4d65-a726-5c9dba9ae6ac\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"292edc1f-9da4-421d-bf45-904209180666\" data-image-id=\"292edc1f-9da4-421d-bf45-904209180666\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/8bc894ba-a42e-4cbc-926a-88e8e59ac46b/Slotted%20holes.png\" data-asset-id=\"292edc1f-9da4-421d-bf45-904209180666\" data-image-id=\"292edc1f-9da4-421d-bf45-904209180666\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>For situations where the base plate is not perpendicular to the anchored member, the modeling process requires a different approach. In these cases, you must use the <strong>Stiffening plate</strong> operation to model the base plate and the <strong>Fastener grid</strong> <strong>or Contact</strong> operation to define the anchors. The stiffening plate is positioned in the required angle and location, and the fastener grid must be adjusted to the <strong>Anchor</strong> type. Then the number of connected items is changed to one and the the stiffening plate is defined as the selected item. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1ad41d64-a5d9-4feb-92dc-c5fa82b12301\" data-image-id=\"1ad41d64-a5d9-4feb-92dc-c5fa82b12301\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/baf203cd-0ec4-4252-92cf-bb4fb347eaf5/Stiffening%20plate%20as%20base%20plate.png\" data-asset-id=\"1ad41d64-a5d9-4feb-92dc-c5fa82b12301\" data-image-id=\"1ad41d64-a5d9-4feb-92dc-c5fa82b12301\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>In cases when the connection is already modeled in CAD software, you can import anchoring design using <a data-item-id=\"48d2251b-1818-4c19-bfa8-f89955c2e64a\" href=\"\">BIM links</a>.</p>\n<h4>Example of general anchoring using the stiffening plate</h4>\n<p>Watch the recording to learn how to design a custom vertical base plate of balcony railing into a concrete slab. </p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n9981410d_1a2b_012c_bc0e_923bc19fa0fb\"></object>\n<h3>Concrete block</h3>\n<p>The <a data-item-id=\"f697f64f-a1d7-4bce-8b21-0e61ad5c4abe\" href=\"\">concrete foundation</a> is limited to a rectangular shape, but its dimensions can be adjusted using offset values for each edge.

"value": "<p>Concrete below the base plate is simulated by the Winkler subsoil with uniform stiffness, which provides the contact stresses. The average stress at the effective area determined by EN 1993-1-8 is used for compressive check.</p>\n<p>The resistance of concrete in 3D compression is determined based on EN 1993-1-8 by calculating the design bearing strength of concrete in the joint, <em>f</em><sub>jd</sub>, under the effective area, <em>A</em><sub>eff</sub>, of the base plate. The design bearing strength of the joint, <em>f</em><sub>jd</sub>, is evaluated according to Cl. 6.2.5 in EN 1993-1-8 and Cl. 6.7 in EN 1992-1-1. The grout quality and thickness is introduced by the joint coefficient, <em>β</em><sub>jd</sub>. For grout quality equal or better than the quality of the concrete block, <em>β</em><sub>jd</sub> = 1.0 is expected, EN 1993-1-8 recommends value <em>β</em><sub>jd</sub> = 0.67. The effective area, <em>A</em><sub>eff,cm</sub> under the base plate is estimated to be of the shape of the column cross-section increased by additional bearing width, <em>c</em>.</p>\n<p>\\[ c = t \\sqrt{\\frac{f_y}{3 f_{jd} \\gamma_{M0}}} \\]</p>\n<p>where <em>t</em> is the thickness of the base plate, <em>f</em><sub>y</sub> is the base plate yield strength, and <em>γ</em><sub>M0</sub> is the partial safety factor for steel.</p>\n<p>The effective area is calculated by iteration until the difference between the additional bearing widths of current and previous iteration |<em>c</em><sub>i</sub> – <em>c</em><sub>i–1</sub> | is less than 1 mm. For the first iteration, the area of the base plate is assumed as a bearing area, <em>A</em><sub>c0</sub>.</p>\n<p>The area where the concrete is in compression is taken from results of FEA. This area in compression, <em>A</em><sub>eff,FEM</sub>, allows determining the position of the neutral axis. The user can modify this area by editing “Effective area – influence of mesh size” in Code setup. The default value is 0.1 for which the verification studies were made. It is not recommended to decrease this value. Increasing this value makes the assessment of concrete bearing resistance safer. The value in Code setup determines the boundary of the area, <em>A</em><sub>eff,FEM</sub>, e.g. the value of 0.1 takes into account only areas where stress in concrete is higher than 0.1 times the maximum stress in concrete, <em>σ</em><sub>c,max</sub>. The intersection of the area in compression, <em>A</em><sub>eff,FEM</sub>, and the effective area, <em>A</em><sub>eff,cm</sub>, allows to assess the resistance for generally loaded column base of any column shape with any stiffeners and is labeled <em>A</em><sub>eff</sub>.

However, this formula only applies to bolts in a normal (steel-steel) connection and not to anchors in a column base plate connection. When checking the shear resistance of the anchor, a tensile force in the bolt equal to the resistance to yielding was already taken into account; see Eq. 6.2 of Cl. 6.2.2 (7) of EN 1993-1-8. The actual tensile stress that occurs in the anchor is therefore not relevant. This calculation method is based on tests carried out at the TU Delft. These calculation rules from the Eurocode are identical to the calculation rules from the TGB series. The explanation of the calculation rule is included in NEN 6772 but not in EN 1993-1-8. For column base plate connections, it is therefore sufficient to only carry out the separate checks for tension and shear.</em></p>\n<h4>Interaction of tension and shear in steel (EN 1992-4 – Table 7.3)</h4>\n<p>The interaction of tension and shear for <strong>post-installed fasteners</strong> is determined separately for steel and concrete failure modes according to Table 7.3.

The interaction in steel is checked for each anchor separately.</p>\n<p>\\[ \\left ( \\frac{N_{Ed}}{N_{Rd,s}} \\right )^2 + \\left ( \\frac{V_{Ed}}{V_{Rd,s}} \\right )^2 \\le 1.0 \\]</p>\n<h4>Interaction of tension and shear in concrete</h4>\n<p> Interaction in concrete is checked according to Equation (7.55).</p>\n<p>\\[ \\left ( \\frac{N_{Ed}}{N_{Rd,i}} \\right )^{1.5} + \\left ( \\frac{V_{Ed}}{V_{Rd,i}} \\right )^{1.5} \\le 1.0 \\]</p>\n<p>The largest value of \\(N_{Ed} / N_{Rd,i} \\) and \\(V_{Ed} / V_{Rd,i} \\) for the different failure modes shall be taken. Note that values of \\(N_{Ed}\\) and \\(N_{Rd,i}\\) often belong to a group of anchors.</p>\n<h3>Anchors with stand-off</h3>\n<p>An anchor with stand-off is designed as a bar element loaded by shear force, bending moment, and compressive or tensile force. These internal forces are determined by the finite element model. The anchor is fixed on both sides, one side is 0.5×<em>d</em> below the concrete level, and the other side is in the middle of the thickness of the plate. The buckling length is conservatively assumed as twice the length of the bar element. Plastic section modulus is used. The bar element is designed according to EN 1993-1-1. The shear force may decrease the yield strength of the steel according to Cl. 6.2.8 but the minimum length of the anchor to fit the nut under the base plate ensures that the anchor fails in bending before the shear force reaches half the shear resistance. The reduction is therefore not necessary. The interaction of bending moment and compressive or tensile strength is assessed according to Cl. 6.2.1.</p>\n<h4>Shear resistance (EN 1993-1-1 Cl. 6.2.6):</h4>\n<p>\\[ V_{pl,Rd} = \\frac{A_V f_y / \\sqrt{3}}{\\gamma_{M2}} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>V</sub> = 0.844 <em>A</em><sub>s</sub> – shear area</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>s</sub> – bolt area reduced by threads</li>\n <li><em>f</em><sub>y</sub> – bolt yield strength</li>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>M2</sub> – partial safety factor</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>Tensile resistance (EN 1993-1-8 – Cl. 3.6.1):</h4>\n<p>\\[ F_{t,Rd}=\\frac{c k_2 f_{ub} A_s}{\\gamma_{M2}} \\ge F_t \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>c</em> – decrease in tensile resistance of bolts with cut thread according to EN 1993-1-8 – Cl. 3.6.1.

On the other hand, preloading brings extra demands for safety and code-compliance."

"value": "<p>The load resistance of slender components may be determined by a combination of linear buckling analysis and materially nonlinear analysis.</p>\n<p>There are five categories of finite element structural analysis with the following assumptions:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Linear material, geometrically linear</li>\n <li>Nonlinear material, geometrically linear</li>\n <li>Linear material, linear loss of stability – buckling</li>\n <li>Linear material, geometrically nonlinear using imperfections</li>\n <li>Nonlinear material, geometrically nonlinear using imperfections</li>\n</ol>\n<p>A design procedure that combines approaches 2 and 3 – material nonlinearity and stability analysis – is mentioned in Chapter 8 of EN 1993-1-6. The verification of buckling resistance based on the obtained FEM results is described in Annex B of EN 1993-1-5. This procedure is used for a wide range of structures except for very slender shells, where geometrically nonlinear analysis with initial imperfections is more suitable (4 and 5).</p>\n<p>The procedure uses load amplifiers <em>α,</em> which are obtained as the results of FEM analysis and allow to predict of the post-buckling resistance of the joints.</p>\n<p>The load coefficient, <em>α</em><sub>ult,k</sub>, is determined by reaching the plastic capacity without considering the geometrical nonlinearity. The check of plastic capacity and the general automatic determination of <em>α</em><sub>ult,k</sub> is implemented into the developed software.</p>\n<p>The critical buckling factor, <em>α</em><sub>cr</sub>, is determined, which is obtained using FEM analysis of linear stability. It is determined automatically in the software using the same FEM model as for the calculation of <em>α</em><sub>ult,k</sub>. It should be noted that the critical point in terms of plastic resistance is not necessarily assessed in the first critical buckling mode. More buckling modes need to be assessed in a complex joint because they are related to different parts of the joint.</p>\n<p>The non-dimensional plate slenderness, \\( \\bar \\lambda_p \\), of the examined buckling mode is determined:</p>\n<p>\\[ \\bar \\lambda_p = \\sqrt{\\frac{\\alpha_{ult,k}}{\\alpha_{cr}}} \\]</p>\n<p>The reduction buckling factor <em>ρ</em> is determined according to Annex B of EN 1993-1-5. The reduction factor depends on the plate slenderness. The used buckling curve shows the influence of the reduction factor on the plate slenderness. The provided buckling factor applicable to non-uniform members is based on the buckling curves of a beam. The verification is based on the von Mises yield criterion and the reduced stress method. Buckling resistance is assessed as</p>\n<p>\\[ \\frac{\\alpha_{ult,k} \\rho}{\\gamma_{M2}} \\ge 1 \\]</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"61037866-4396-4b88-9274-d398651553ee\" data-image-id=\"61037866-4396-4b88-9274-d398651553ee\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/726480bf-8bb6-4215-b469-1cdb3abcc0ff/buckling.png\" data-asset-id=\"61037866-4396-4b88-9274-d398651553ee\" data-image-id=\"61037866-4396-4b88-9274-d398651553ee\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Buckling reduction factor ρ according to EN 1993-1-5 Annex B</em></p>\n<p>Although the process seems trivial, it is general, robust, and easily automated. The advantage of the procedure is the advanced FEM analysis of the whole joint, which can be applied to general geometry. Moreover, it is included in the valid Eurocode standards. The advanced numerical analysis gives a quick overview of the global behavior of the structure and its critical parts and allows fast stiffening to prevent instabilities.</p>\n<p>The limit slenderness, <em>λ</em><sub>p</sub>, is provided in Annex B of EN 1993-1-5 and sets all cases which must be assessed according to the previous procedure. The resistance is limited by buckling for plate slenderness higher than 0.7. With the decreasing slenderness, the resistance is governed by plastic strain. The limit critical buckling factor for plate slenderness equals to 0.7, and buckling resistance equal to the plastic resistance may be obtained as follows</p>\n<p>\\[ \\alpha_{cr} = \\frac{\\alpha_{ult,k}}{\\bar \\lambda_p^2} = \\frac{1}{0.7^2} = 2.04 \\]</p>\n<p>The influence of the plate slenderness on the plastic resistance, <em>M</em><sub>ult,k</sub>, and buckling resistance, <em>M</em><sub>CBFEM</sub>, is shown in the figure below.

These templates are designed to be universally applicable, providing a solid foundation for a wide range of projects.</li>\n <li><strong>Parametric customization</strong>: Through the Developer tab, users can define specific parameters for each template, allowing for a high degree of customization and flexibility in design.</li>\n <li><strong>Template identification</strong>: Parametric templates are easily identifiable by the symbol {p}, ensuring that users can quickly recognize and select them for their projects.</li>\n <li><strong>Enhanced library filtering</strong>: The filter in the Propose window of the Connection Library enables users to efficiently find parametric templates among the library's extensive offering.</li>\n <li><strong>Publication control</strong>: When a connection contains parameters, designers have the option to publish these parametric templates to the Connection Library. This feature offers flexibility in sharing customized templates with the broader user community or keeping them private for individual or internal use.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Impact on workflow</h2>\n<p>The inclusion of parametric templates in the Connection Library represents a significant advancement in the design process for connection designers. This functionality simplifies the design process by providing:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Efficiency</strong>: The use of templates speeds up the design phase, allowing for quicker iterations and modifications.</li>\n <li><strong>Consistency</strong>: Parametric templates ensure design consistency across projects, which is crucial for maintaining standards and quality.</li>\n <li><strong>Collaboration</strong>: The ability to share customized templates enhances collaboration among teams and with the wider design community.</li>\n <li><strong>Customization</strong>: Designers can tailor templates to specific project requirements, enhancing design accuracy and effectiveness.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><em>Released in </em><a data-item-id=\"52afe115-4e0f-4c6a-be42-e82757fdb937\" href=\"\"><em>IDEA StatiCa patch 23.1.5</em></a>.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n421fe254_57b7_01cd_2bc3_0af215b956fb\"></object>\n<h2>Default control sets in the Operations</h2>\n<p>The design of a connection by parameters consists of the setting of very unique parameters specific for every single connection type on one hand. On the other hand, there are parameters that are used almost always due to common engineering practices, such as a set of welds, fasteners, and materials.</p>\n<p>To simplify the creation of parametric templates and to reach this setting anytime, we include these controls as default sets in the operation root.</p>\n<p>When you select Operations, there are, by default, the following settings:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Weld setting: <strong>Weld sizing method</strong> and weld <strong>Material</strong> (24.0.5)</li>\n <li>Bolt setting: <strong>Type</strong>, <strong>Shear plane in thread,</strong> and <strong>Shear force transfer</strong> (24.1.0)</li>\n <li>Plates setting: <strong>Material </strong>(24.1.0)</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"2a3a3db4-b18c-4e2c-a09d-5774aa412487\" data-image-id=\"2a3a3db4-b18c-4e2c-a09d-5774aa412487\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/23570977-6342-4a3e-adc8-2563c3e0028f/common%20properties%201.png\" data-asset-id=\"2a3a3db4-b18c-4e2c-a09d-5774aa412487\" data-image-id=\"2a3a3db4-b18c-4e2c-a09d-5774aa412487\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>These controls set the specific property for the whole connection model to all operations and are shown in the Operations root by default. They do not change the properties of the structural members, only the manufacturing operations.</p>\n<p>In case any of the properties related to the control <strong>is used in any parameter</strong> of the parametric template, the control is automatically disabled. By this behavior, we prevent the possibility of influencing the same property from two places and, thus, ruining the connection detail by loops in parameters.</p>\n<p>As a benefit, these controls are also shown without a parametric template, enabling quick changes and unifying properties of any connection model.</p>\n<h2>What are the benefits?</h2>\n<ul>\n <li>For the <strong>parametric template user</strong> (e.g., junior user), all operations are disabled (read-only). However, <strong>changing the material, bolt class, or plate material</strong> is still a commonly expected action. Although, if there is a single parameter missing in the parametric template, it makes the template unusable. Common properties such as welds, bolts, and material can now be controlled in each parametric template using the default controls shown under the parameters.</li>\n <li>Adding these controls <strong>simplifies the work of the template creator</strong> (e.g., senior user) <strong>in preparing the parametric templates</strong>. Now, it is not necessary to manually create special parameters for modifying common properties such as welds, bolts, and materials.</li>\n <li>Sometimes, you want to <strong>unify bolt grades or plates and weld material</strong> in the whole connection detail even when the <strong>parametric template is not used</strong>. It can be easily done either by multi-selecting in the tree and editing operations of the same type (nevertheless, in this case, it has to be done multiple times for each group of operations separately), or it is now possible <strong>to change the requested property</strong> or just check if the same property is used <strong>in one click</strong>.</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"bb5a4e57-69fe-4255-b4f5-adb95bf8a794\" data-image-id=\"bb5a4e57-69fe-4255-b4f5-adb95bf8a794\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/937c9874-ecb7-4e00-ba25-790f70433722/common%20properties%202.png\" data-asset-id=\"bb5a4e57-69fe-4255-b4f5-adb95bf8a794\" data-image-id=\"bb5a4e57-69fe-4255-b4f5-adb95bf8a794\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Released in </em><a data-item-id=\"17d58b3b-ad50-4d8b-9be5-8c387010e618\" href=\"\"><em>IDEA StatiCa version 24.1</em></a><em>.</em></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n7727e059_a44c_01ce_bd96_40976a9aacc3\"></object>\n<h2>Improvements of the predefined set</h2>\n<p>Several enhancements have been made to <strong>parametric templates created via the Wizard</strong> to improve usability, clarity, and model consistency.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Validation messages have been refined, only functional and relevant messages are now displayed, such as incorrect member type, cross-section compatibility, or load definition issues.</li>\n <li>Message texts have also been rewritten for better readability and technical accuracy.</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"737a4cd3-cdfd-44d9-b4ef-6bdd0ed27699\" data-image-id=\"737a4cd3-cdfd-44d9-b4ef-6bdd0ed27699\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/ae6b21b1-c930-4ad9-859f-f1753f5d321a/25-1%20predefined%20set%202.png\" data-asset-id=\"737a4cd3-cdfd-44d9-b4ef-6bdd0ed27699\" data-image-id=\"737a4cd3-cdfd-44d9-b4ef-6bdd0ed27699\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<ul>\n <li>Templates now correctly retain <strong>cross-section data</strong> for cleats and stiffening members, ensuring accurate geometry generation.</li>\n <li><strong>Custom cross-sections (CSS) stored in the MPRL</strong> are included in templates and automatically applied to new models.</li>\n <li>A new <strong>Workplane operation method, Intersection</strong>, allows templates to be used for members ending in both X+ and X– directions within Checkbot, with adjustable offset and positioning on the near or far edge of the related member.</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"618d872c-8d91-4f63-98b3-d45e7e9c17e2\" data-image-id=\"618d872c-8d91-4f63-98b3-d45e7e9c17e2\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/6c417587-c02f-4a0b-933f-9a3c4071f6ac/25-1%20predefined%20set%203.png\" data-asset-id=\"618d872c-8d91-4f63-98b3-d45e7e9c17e2\" data-image-id=\"618d872c-8d91-4f63-98b3-d45e7e9c17e2\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Thanks to this new function, templates are applicable at both ends in the Checkkbot.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"dfb6b20b-9c5f-46b7-b003-b1ca968c6f89\" data-image-id=\"dfb6b20b-9c5f-46b7-b003-b1ca968c6f89\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/c3991f2a-98fe-4c99-a1b7-a6875607d42d/25-1%20predefined%20set%204.png\" data-asset-id=\"dfb6b20b-9c5f-46b7-b003-b1ca968c6f89\" data-image-id=\"dfb6b20b-9c5f-46b7-b003-b1ca968c6f89\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Parametric templates can also be <a data-item-id=\"e8d3e9e8-0671-460a-bc80-22eb894538ca\" href=\"\">combined with each other or with standard manufacturing operations</a>.</p>\n<p><em>Released in </em><a data-item-id=\"44b90fbb-8348-4643-8966-823b2c71587b\" href=\"\"><em>IDEA StatiCa version 25.1</em></a><em>.</em></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"link\" data-codename=\"untitled_content_item_1085ffa\"></object>"

Often you have to sit down with your colleagues with a pencil and paper to sketch out various possibilities for a column-to-beam connection that looked soooo simple at first glance. </p>\n<p>And here the discussion started: </p>\n<p> \"We've always done it that way.\"</p>\n<p> \"This connection would be too expensive.\"</p>\n<p> \"You can't add bolts here. Welding there would be a much better option\".</p>\n<p> \"It should be rather semi-rigid than rigid.\"</p>\n<p>And then, you start searching for inspiration on how to solve such a connection safely and efficiently. First, within your office with your colleagues, then you start browsing and exploring your past projects. </p>\n<p>Somebody has to solve a similar issue before, right? </p>\n<p>And this is where IDEA StatiCa comes in. </p>\n<h2>Connection Library at your service</h2>\n<p><a data-item-id=\"d462d4fd-c84f-4b3b-8111-c248b270291b\" href=\"\"><strong>Connection Library</strong></a><strong> is a cloud application that provides you with 400,000+ ideas for your connection designs</strong> from all around the world. Saying that, it is by far the world's largest database of steel connections. Available just at your fingertips. And for free... </p>\n<p>With the Connection Library, you can browse examples matching your project and <strong>find inspiration in seconds</strong>! </p>\n<p><strong>The use is pretty easy, just like 1-2-3. </strong></p>\n<h4>1. Define the geometry of your model</h4>\n<p>The whole database is segmented and filterable by a smart system of connection geometries. What does it mean? Using a few setting parameters, you can model your connection members quickly with a predefined set of cross-sections and filters. </p>\n<p>You can play with members, add them or remove, rotate, or adjust them. For each of them, you can select from 8 different types of cross-sections + one general, in case you are not sure yet. </p>\n<p> Do you need to add a hollow section? No problem! </p>\n<p> Did you say \"rectangular\"? Here you are! </p>\n<p> Change it to I-shape? Just click here. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"e1a658ae-4ba2-46d8-ba48-7f8c3a369520\" data-image-id=\"e1a658ae-4ba2-46d8-ba48-7f8c3a369520\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/6a3c1e2d-08d0-4c87-8802-396313c40d21/ConLib-step01-2.5x.gif\" data-asset-id=\"e1a658ae-4ba2-46d8-ba48-7f8c3a369520\" data-image-id=\"e1a658ae-4ba2-46d8-ba48-7f8c3a369520\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>By the way, if you are not sure about your solution yet or you want to see the rich inspiration for the most popular connection types, you can just click on one of the <strong>four preselected models</strong> in the bottom right corner. </p>\n<h4>2. Browse potential candidates</h4>\n<p>Based on your model settings, you can start browsing thousands of connections with the same geometry. Obviously, the more precisely specified geometry, the more accurate the offer of solutions would be. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"60697ce5-4c9f-4b1d-9253-cd19905778d1\" data-image-id=\"60697ce5-4c9f-4b1d-9253-cd19905778d1\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/971c4360-91a6-4b20-b3a5-1857f609ecec/connection-library-v0-03d.PNG\" data-asset-id=\"60697ce5-4c9f-4b1d-9253-cd19905778d1\" data-image-id=\"60697ce5-4c9f-4b1d-9253-cd19905778d1\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>If there are too many options, try to<strong> adjust filtering</strong>, refine your settings, or fine-tune connectors and features. </p>\n<p> Need only welded connections?

Explore details in a 3D view</h4>\n<p>The last step enables you to explore connection details and properties in the 3D view window. You can find similar connections and see how other engineers solved them. </p>\n<p><strong>To access the 3D view</strong>, <strong>you have to either have an IDEA StatiCa account</strong> already (you have the IDEA StatiCa desktop license, no matter if a commercial or free – educational or trial), or you can quickly <a data-item-id=\"0c872071-6a3f-4b99-8cd4-66440db9cc0d\" href=\"\">create a free account</a>, which allows you to explore the connection details.</p>\n<p>Besides the filter settings, you can also see according to which standard the connection had been designed. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"d9678bf1-23da-425d-8e76-561722b61b32\" data-image-id=\"d9678bf1-23da-425d-8e76-561722b61b32\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/06240ec5-08e5-46d4-8c3d-5d74f4353e21/connection-library-v1-04.PNG\" data-asset-id=\"d9678bf1-23da-425d-8e76-561722b61b32\" data-image-id=\"d9678bf1-23da-425d-8e76-561722b61b32\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>If you like the selected solution, get inspired, and you can try to model it in the IDEA StatiCa desktop app on your own.</p>\n<h2>Where are all these connections coming from?</h2>\n<p>As you can imagine, putting together such an extensive database of steel connections was not an easy task. </p>\n<p>Connection Library has been created by structural engineers for the global community of engineers, nurturing inspiration and simplifying their work, much like programmers share code for collective benefit.</p>\n<p>The <strong>Connection Library database comes from data gathered by another IDEA StatiCa cloud app called </strong><a data-item-id=\"509c9953-7d08-4da3-9b0e-1651eb8053ea\" href=\"\"><strong>Viewer</strong></a>, where engineers can share their project files. We took those connection designs, made them anonymous, and kept just the important bits like cross-sections, member geometry, and the building codes. No data from our desktop applications were used to build the Connection Library database.</p>\n<h2>Now it's your turn...</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://connectionlibrary.ideastatica.com/\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IDEA StatiCa Connection Library</a> is an (almost) endless source of inspiration for you. Take the plunge into testing, browse it, change geometries... Just do your best to find out what scenarios it can cover for you, your projects, and designs. </p>\n<p>Connection Library is a new tool, and as for every new project, <strong>we would love to hear your feedback</strong>. </p>\n<p>What do you like or dislike? How can it be improved, or what features should we add to it? Do you miss more advanced filtering? </p>\n<p>If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them with us via a <a href=\"https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/connection-library\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">simple survey form</a>, which you can find in the bottom right corner of the Connection Library screen. </p>\n<p>OK.

"value": "<h2>Introduction</h2>\n<p>When designing the structure to resist the seismic load case combination, the engineer must choose a concept:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Low dissipative structural behavior\n <ul>\n <li><em>q</em> = 1 to 2 (section class 4 → <em>q</em> = 1)</li>\n <li>No special requirements for steel structures</li>\n <li>Ductility class low (DCL)</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Dissipative structural behavior\n <ul>\n <li><em>q</em> ≤ 4 – Ductility class medium (DCM), section class 1, 2</li>\n <li><em>q</em> > 4 – Ductility class high (DCH), section class 1</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n</ul>\n<p>For low dissipative structural behavior, no special requirements are necessary, and usual connection checks are required. However, for high seismic loads, designing a structure resisting remaining in an elastic state is unfeasible, and dissipative structural behavior is necessary. The Member Capacity Design analysis in IDEA StatiCa Connection is meant for such behavior.</p>\n<p>Possible structural types of seismic resisting systems allowed in EN 1998-1 are:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Moment resisting frames (MRF)\n <ul>\n <li>plastic hinges at the ends of beams or in the connections of the beams to columns</li>\n <li>plastic hinges may also be:\n <ul>\n <li>at the column base</li>\n <li>at the top of the column in the upper floor</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Frames with concentric bracings (CBF):\n <ul>\n <li>dissipative zones are located in the diagonals in tension</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Frames with eccentric bracings (EBF):\n <ul>\n <li>dissipative zones in seismic links, mostly in beams</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Inverted pendulum structures</li>\n <li>Steel structures associated with concrete cores or concrete walls</li>\n <li>Dual frames made of moment-resisting frames combined with braced frames\n <ul>\n <li>MRF contributes > 25 % to total strength and stiffness</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Moment-resisting frames combined with reinforced concrete infills</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Determination of seismic load cases</h2>\n<p>Internal forces for seismic load combination may be determined by one of the following methods of structural seismic analysis:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Lateral force method</li>\n <li>Linear modal response spectrum analysis</li>\n <li>Nonlinear static pushover analysis</li>\n <li>Nonlinear time-history dynamic analysis</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Using linear modal response spectrum analysis causes internal forces to “lose signs” due to the method of square root of sum of squares (SRSS). The signs should be reobtained by the lateral force method – the joint in IDEA StatiCa must be in equilibrium. The seismic loads are in the accidental load combination, and the structure is analyzed. The joints are designed using standard Stress, strain analysis (EPS) in IDEA StatiCa Connection.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, non-dissipative members must be able to safely, without significant deformations, transfer forces necessary to create the plastic hinges in dissipative members. This additional check is performed in Member Capacity Design analysis (MC).</p>\n<h2>Capacity design</h2>\n<p>The objective of capacity design is to confirm a building undergoes controlled ductile behavior in order to avoid collapse in a design-level earthquake. This involves designing the structure to allow ductile failure at key predictable locations within the structure and to prevent other failure types occurring near these locations or elsewhere in the structure.</p>\n<p>In other words, in a structure that contains both brittle and ductile elements, capacity design is a method to provide the structure with an overall ductile characteristic.</p>\n<p>Some members are considered as dissipative and others non-dissipative. Connections are usually non-dissipative but in some cases may be dissipative. Dissipative elements are expected to undergo significant plastic deformations during seismic load case, the seismic energy may be depleted at these deformations, and the seismic load is therefore significantly lower. On the other hand, dissipative elements must be able to withstand the cyclic strains without any cracks, and all non-dissipative elements must be able to transfer the load induced by dissipative elements. To ensure the formation of plastic hinge in the dissipative member, the probable yield strength is used instead of nominal yield strength, and sometimes, especially for beams in MRFs, also strain-hardening is taken into account. Thus, the strength of dissipative members is taken as:</p>\n<p>\\(f_{y,max} = \\gamma_{sh} \\cdot \\gamma_{ov} \\cdot f_y \\) (EN)</p>\n<p>\\(F_{y,max}= C_{pr} \\cdot R_y \\cdot F_y \\) (AISC)</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>sh</sub> – strain-hardening factor, equal to 1.1 in EN 1998-1 and 1.2 in EN 1993-1-8; value 1.2 is recommended in ECCS manuals because it corresponds better to steel grades used for seismic applications; editable at dissipative element function</li>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>ov</sub> – overstrength factor, recommended value is 1.25; editable in materials</li>\n <li>\\(C_{pr} = \\frac{F_y + F_u}{2 \\cdot F_y}\\) – strain-hardening factor – AISC 358-16 (2.4-2); may be turned on or off at dissipative element function</li>\n <li><em>R</em><sub>y</sub> – ratio of probable to minimal yield strength – AISC 341-16 – Table A3.1; editable in materials</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Ultimate (tensile) strength is also modified for elements selected as dissipative:</p>\n<p>\\(f_{u,max}= \\gamma_ov \\cdot f_u \\) (EN)</p>\n<p>\\(F_{u,max} = R_t \\cdot F_u \\) (AISC)</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>ov</sub> – overstrength factor, recommended value is 1.25; editable in materials</li>\n <li><em>R</em><sub>u</sub> – ratio of probable to minimal tensile strength – AISC 341-16 – Table A3.1; editable in materials</li>\n</ul>\n<p>All the factors are modifiable allowing user a great degree of freedom. Moreover, multiple overstrength functions may be created with varying properties, but one plate may be selected only once. The strain-hardening factor is typically not used (equal to 1) for the analysis of braced frames. Note that safety (resistance/capacity) factors are not used for dissipative elements (members or plates with applied overstrength function).</p>\n<h2>Case study: Moment resisting frames</h2>\n<p>Typically, the beam is a dissipative member, in which plastic hinge is meant to form, and connection and the column are non-dissipative elements, which must remain without significant deformations. The beam is loaded by the load necessary to form plastic hinge in the beam with probable yield strength and by the corresponding shear force:</p>\n<p>\\[ M_{Ed} = f_{y,max} \\cdot W_{pl} \\]</p>\n<p>\\[V_{Ed} = \\frac{2M_{Ed}}{L_h} + V_{gravity} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>W</em><sub>pl</sub> – plastic section modulus of the beam</li>\n <li><em>L</em><sub>h</sub> – distance between two plastic hinges on the beam</li>\n <li><em>V</em><sub>gravity</sub> – shear force due to gravity loading in the seismic combination</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"60d63b32-e0ab-41e1-b674-903365151edd\" data-image-id=\"60d63b32-e0ab-41e1-b674-903365151edd\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/483ccbcc-0aaf-4302-be41-45b5bf3074b6/plastic%20hinge.png\" data-asset-id=\"60d63b32-e0ab-41e1-b674-903365151edd\" data-image-id=\"60d63b32-e0ab-41e1-b674-903365151edd\" alt=\"Plastic hinge\"></figure>\n<p>Note that if a double-sided beam-to-column joint is used, the forces must be from the same load case with correct directions, e.g.:</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1496a1bc-2d5e-41ef-89e5-4447eeaf64c5\" data-image-id=\"1496a1bc-2d5e-41ef-89e5-4447eeaf64c5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/582bcac7-9ba5-48d1-bc9b-cf153db4dfad/CD_Loads.png\" data-asset-id=\"1496a1bc-2d5e-41ef-89e5-4447eeaf64c5\" data-image-id=\"1496a1bc-2d5e-41ef-89e5-4447eeaf64c5\" alt=\"Loads\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"15fd28dd-c0c2-43bf-95ea-b445526a323c\" data-image-id=\"15fd28dd-c0c2-43bf-95ea-b445526a323c\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/d766deab-f4a5-4454-84cf-39ea37c6773a/CD_two%20members.png\" data-asset-id=\"15fd28dd-c0c2-43bf-95ea-b445526a323c\" data-image-id=\"15fd28dd-c0c2-43bf-95ea-b445526a323c\" alt=\"Capacity design - two members\"></figure>\n<p>The shear forces are typically applied at the node for rigid joints.

The given value can be compared with the values recommended in design codes.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"7f4258bd-3c6c-4724-853f-a141b761564e\" data-image-id=\"7f4258bd-3c6c-4724-853f-a141b761564e\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/7b265bed-2ef8-4271-b2a1-ba058b80e6df/CD_ductility.png\" data-asset-id=\"7f4258bd-3c6c-4724-853f-a141b761564e\" data-image-id=\"7f4258bd-3c6c-4724-853f-a141b761564e\" alt=\"Ductility\"></figure>\n<h2>Summary</h2>\n<p>The joint intended as a part of a seismic resisting system with dissipative structural behavior has to be checked against:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>standard load combinations (EPS analysis)</li>\n <li>accidental seismic load combination (EPS analysis)</li>\n <li>load necessary to form a plastic hinge in the dissipative member (MC analysis)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Code specified detailing rules must be followed.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n3e5360ff_d1e3_018e_2faf_8b625157c3c6\"></object>\n<h2>References:</h2>\n<ul>\n <li>EN 1998-1 Chapter 6: Specific rules for steel buildings</li>\n <li>EN 1993-1-8</li>\n <li>ACI 341-16 <a href=\"https://www.aisc.org/globalassets/aisc/publications/standards/seismic-provisions-for-structural-steel-buildings-ansi-aisc-341-16.pdf\">https://www.aisc.org/globalassets/aisc/publications/standards/seismic-provisions-for-structural-steel-buildings-ansi-aisc-341-16.pdf</a></li>\n <li>ACI 358-18 <a href=\"https://www.aisc.org/globalassets/aisc/publications/standards/a358-18w.pdf\">https://www.aisc.org/globalassets/aisc/publications/standards/a358-18w.pdf</a></li>\n <li>ACI 360-16 <a href=\"https://www.aisc.org/globalassets/aisc/publications/standards/a360-16-spec-and-commentary.pdf\">https://www.aisc.org/globalassets/aisc/publications/standards/a360-16-spec-and-commentary.pdf</a></li>\n <li>CSA S16-14</li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"link\" data-codename=\"take_idea_statica_24_0_for_a_test_drive_today\"></object>"

The length of a member should be at least 1× the height of the member after the last manufacturing operation (weld, opening, stiffener etc.) due to the correct deformations after the rigid links connecting the cut end of a member to the connection node.</p>\n<p><br></p>"

FEA programs use an envelope of internal forces from combinations. IDEA StatiCa Connection is a program that resolves steel joint nonlinearly (elastic/plastic material model). Therefore, the envelope combinations cannot be used. IDEA StatiCa searches for extremes of internal forces (<em>N, V</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><em>, V</em><em><sub>z</sub></em><em>, M</em><em><sub>x</sub></em><em>, M</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><em>, M</em><em><sub>z</sub></em>) in all combinations at the ends of all members connected to the joint. For each such extreme value, also all other internal forces from that combination in all remaining members are used. Idea StatiCa determines the worst combination for each component (plate, weld, bolt etc.) in the connection.</p>\n<p>The user can modify this list of load cases. He can work with combinations in the wizard (or BIM), or he can delete some cases directly in <a data-item-id=\"b0a659df-8f92-4d1f-abb6-2efa02bad946\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Connection</a>.</p>\n<p><strong>Warning!</strong></p>\n<p>It is necessary to take into account unbalanced internal forces during the import. This can happen in the following cases:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Nodal force was applied to the position of the investigated node. The software cannot detect which member should transfer this nodal force and, therefore, it is not taken into account in the analysis model. <em>Solution: Do not use nodal forces in global analysis. If necessary, the force must be manually added to a selected member as a normal or shear force.</em></li>\n <li>Loaded, non-steel (usually timber or concrete) member is connected to the investigated node. Such member is not considered in the analysis, and their internal forces are ignored in the analysis. <em>Solution: Replace the concrete member with a concrete block and anchorage.</em></li>\n <li>The node is a part of a slab or a wall (usually from concrete). The slab or the wall is not part of the model, and its internal forces are ignored. <em>Solution: Replace the concrete slab or wall with a concrete block and anchorage.</em></li>\n <li>Some members are connected to the investigated node via rigid links. Such members are not included in the model, and their internal forces are ignored. <em>Solution: Add these members into the list of connected members manually.</em></li>\n <li>Seismic load cases are analyzed in the software. Most FEA software offer the modal analysis to solve seismicity. The results of internal forces of seismic load cases provide usually only internal force envelopes in sections. Due to the evaluation method (square root of the sum of squares – SRSS), the internal forces are all positive and it is not possible to find the forces matching to the selected extreme. It is not possible to achieve a balance of internal forces. <em>Solution: Change the positive sign of some internal forces manually.</em></li>\n</ul>"

The deformation capacity of components has been studied from the end of the last century (Foley and Vinnakota, 1995). Faella et al. (2000) carried out tests on T-stubs and derived the analytical expressions for the deformation capacity. Kuhlmann and Kuhnemund (2000) performed tests on the column web subjected to transverse compression at different levels of compression axial force in the column. Da Silva et al. (2002) predicted deformation capacity at different levels of axial force in the connected beam. Based on the test results combined with FE analysis, deformation capacities are established for the basic components by analytical models by Beg et al. (2004). In the work, components are represented by non-linear springs and appropriately combined in order to determine the rotation capacity of the joint for the end-plate connections, with an extended or flush end-plate and welded connections. For these connections, the most important components that may significantly contribute to the rotation capacity were recognized as the web in compression, column web in tension, column web in shear, column flange in bending, and end-plate in bending. Components related to the column web are relevant only when there are no stiffeners in the column that resist compression, tension, or shear forces. The presence of a stiffener eliminates the corresponding component, and its contribution to the rotation capacity of the joint can be therefore neglected. End-plates and column flanges are important only for end-plate connections where the components act as a T-stub, where also the deformation capacity of the bolts in tension is included. The questions and limits of the deformation capacity of connections of high-strength steel were studied by Girao et al. (2004).</p>"

However, it should be checked that there are no buckling issues and that the results of strength analysis, which uses only geometrically linear analysis, are correct.</p>\n<p><a data-item-id=\"b0a659df-8f92-4d1f-abb6-2efa02bad946\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Connection</a> can perform linear buckling analysis of a model of a joint. The results are predicted in buckling modes. Critical load, at which buckling of the perfect model occurs, is calculated for each buckling mode. Critical load is presented by multipliers of the load acting on the joint. According to the buckling mode and critical load multiplier, the user can determine the safe buckling design.</p>\n<p>Some codes, e.g. Eurocode (EN 1993-1-1, Chapter 5.2.1), recommend a critical load multiplier higher than 15 for bar models of structures. If the critical load multiplier is higher than 15, the code does not require a buckling check of members.</p>\n<p>For joints, the matter is different, and the code does not provide any specific recommendation. The design of local buckling must be tackled in another way. Generally, the local buckling may be divided into three groups:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Plates connecting individual members</li>\n <li>Stiffening plates in the joint – stiffeners, ribs, short haunches</li>\n <li>Closed sections and thin-walled sections</li>\n</ol>\n<p>The buckling of plates from group 1 affects the buckling shape of the whole member. Therefore, it is recommended to apply the same rules as for these members also to these plates, i.e., consider safe critical load multiplier 15 and higher. The engineer should verify that the real execution of the joint corresponds to the boundary conditions of the model used for buckling analysis of the whole structure.</p>\n<p>Plates from group 2 affect the local buckling of the joint. For such plates, the safe boundary of critical load multiplier 15 is conservative, but specific guidance is missing in codes. The guidance is provided by <a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/all?category=verification_example&label=buckling\" data-new-window=\"true\" title=\"IDEA StatiCa Support Center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">research papers</a> that recommend a safe boundary of critical load multiplier equal to 3.</p>\n<p>Buckling of plates and members from group 3 is very problematic, and individual assessment of each particular case is necessary.</p>\n<p>For plates with a critical load multiplier smaller than suggested values (15 for group 1, 3 for group 2), plastic design cannot be used.

Buckling analysis is a must and each mode shape must be carefully analyzed.</p>\n<p>Software IDEA StatiCa Connection is dedicated to the assessment of connections of hot-rolled members which are not significantly affected by buckling. The geometrically linear and materially non-linear analysis is performed because of its fast and stable calculation. However, this analysis is not sufficient for stability loss. If buckling may be a problem, performing a linear buckling analysis helps to detect dangerous areas and provide a factor for Euler’s bifurcation point, but this is still not enough for thin-walled members. For thin-walled members, only geometrically nonlinear analysis with imperfections is suitable.</p>\n<p>If the user still decides to use IDEA StatiCa Connection software to check connections of thin-walled members, he should:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Perform linear buckling analysis and carefully evaluate each buckling shape, the first 5 presented buckling shapes might not be enough (<a data-item-id=\"940e97db-790e-439d-95b7-c99b79c53c43\" href=\"\">How to increase the number of evaluated shapes</a>)</li>\n <li>Do not rely on the plasticity of steel plates and rather limit the von Mises stress to yield strength or even lower</li>\n <li>Be aware that local buckling, which is not considered, can redistribute internal forces in components differently</li>\n <li>Be aware that the stiffness of components may be different due to different failure modes or their combination.</li>\n <li>Be aware that presented checks and detailing of components (e.g., bolts, welds) are the following guides for standard members. The checks for thin-walled members may vary, and then the provided checks are not correct.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The design of connections of thin-walled members is very case-specific, and no general guide can be provided. IDEA StatiCa Connection was not validated for this use.</p>\n<h4>Component checks – EN</h4>\n<p>In EN 1993-1-1 thin-walled members are defined as: “Class 4 cross-sections are those in which local buckling will occur before the attainment of yield stress in one or more parts of the cross-section.” The main part of Eurocode for steel is limited to members with material thickness t ≥ 3 mm. <a data-item-id=\"2f49e81d-802d-4857-84e1-8776e12bc8ee\" href=\"\">Chapter 4 – Welded connections</a> apply only to a material thickness of t ≥ 4 mm. Therefore, the checks of components provided by software do not apply to cold-formed members with smaller thicknesses. Users should be aware of this and replace the checks with appropriate formulas from EN 1993-1-3 manually.</p>\n<p>Analysis of <a data-item-id=\"48d4bb94-7eb2-4c01-b2dc-56bae88b469b\" href=\"\">hollow section joints</a> should also be carefully performed for members which are out of the range of validity for welded joints – EN 1993-1-8 – Table 7.1. There are no guidelines for such joints, and the software results have not been validated.</p>\n<h4>Component checks – AISC</h4>\n<p>In Chapter A of AISC 360-16 there is a user note stating: “For the design of cold-formed steel structural members, the provisions in the AISI North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (AISI S100) are recommended, except for cold-formed hollow structural sections (HSS), which are designed in accordance with this Specification.” AISI S100 and AS/NZS 4600 provide formulas to determine the shear and tension resistance of the most common fastener types together with their range of application</p>\n<h4>Component checks – CISC</h4>\n<p>CSA S16-14 states in Chapter 1: “Requirements for steel structures such as bridges, antenna towers, offshore structures, and cold-formed steel structural members are given in other CSA Group Standards.”</p>"

The limit lateral stiffness where lateral-torsional buckling has an effect up to only 5 % of beam bending resistance is calculated according to EN 1993-1-1 as S<sub>lim</sub> = 8 589 kN. However, the results with torsional restraint are diverging at higher levels of rotational stiffness.

LTBeam provides unrealistically high critical load multipliers for high torsional stiffness. </p>\n<p>To verify this claim, the ABAQUS shell element model was created at ETH university. The beam is again fixed on both ends, made of steel grade S355 and with a length of 6 m. Beam cross-section IPE 240 was used.

The stiffnesses provided by trapezoidal sheets of sandwich panels are much smaller and may be determined by experiments or calculations. Most often, the values of lateral and torsional stiffness would be recommended by manufacturers of sandwich panels or other types of cladding. </p>\n<p>The calculation of lateral stiffness <em>S</em> [N] provided by trapezoidal sheets is provided in EN 1993-1-3, Chapter 10:</p>\n<p>\\[S=1000 \\sqrt{t^3} \\left ( 50+10 \\sqrt[3]{b_{roof}} \\right ) \\frac{s}{h_w} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>t</em> – design thickness of trapezoidal sheeting [mm]</li>\n <li><em>b</em><sub>roof</sub> – roof width, i.e. for gable roof it is the distance between a ridge and an eave [mm]</li>\n <li><em>s</em> – distance between beams [mm]</li>\n <li><em>h</em><sub>w</sub> – trapezoidal sheet profile depth [mm] </li>\n</ul>\n<p>The formula is valid if the trapezoidal sheet is connected to the beam at each rib. If the sheeting is connected to the beam at every second rib only, then <em>S</em> should be substituted by 0.2 <em>S</em>.</p>\n<p>Lateral stiffness of sandwich panels is described in ECCS recommendation.

It is recommended to use more advanced geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis for joints of hollow sections even though the computational time is slightly higher. If GMNA analysis for hollow sections is selected in Code setup, GMNA is used instead of geometrically linear and materially nonlinear analysis (MNA, used as a standard in IDEA Statica Connection) for models with hollow section member as a bearing member.</p>\n<p><em>Note: If the bearing member is not a hollow section, the GMNA solver is disabled for the analysis of the whole connection model regardless of the settings in the code setup (GMNA on or off).</em></p>\n<h4>Cross-section deforms at the end of the shell model</h4>\n<p>The cross-section may deform at the ends of the model consisting of shell elements. Joints of hollow sections require relatively long members – up to 10 times cross-section diameter. Condensed superelement is placed behind the part of the model consisting of shell elements. This allows faster calculation with the same precision as the full model consisting of shell elements. The condensed superelement has only elastic material properties, and that means the plastic strains due to the investigated failure mode should not reach the end of shell element model. For this reason, the shell model spans by default 1.25 times the cross-section height (editable in Code setup) behind the last manufacturing operation. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"d540c6c8-c955-4515-a5cf-538a3eebfb04\" data-image-id=\"d540c6c8-c955-4515-a5cf-538a3eebfb04\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/e7e89119-c6c4-4ec7-a097-48de5018924a/RN%2021%20-%20Solver%202-1200x630.png\" data-asset-id=\"d540c6c8-c955-4515-a5cf-538a3eebfb04\" data-image-id=\"d540c6c8-c955-4515-a5cf-538a3eebfb04\" alt=\"Hollow section with deformed end cross-sections\"></figure>\n<h4>Shell bending resistance reduced for hollow sections (imperfections)</h4>\n<p>Load resistances of hollow section joints in the codes are determined by the Failure Mode Method that uses curve-fitting models determined from experiments and advanced numerical models.

Generally, the size of welds will increase in this order:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>To capacity estimation</li>\n <li>To minimum ductility</li>\n <li>Full strength</li>\n <li>With over-strength</li>\n</ol>\n<p>The methods are described in detail below. </p>\n<h3>To capacity estimation</h3>\n<p>Weld sizing to capacity estimation automatically provides weld sizes that are strong just enough to transfer set loads. </p>\n<p>Weld capacity estimation is the first use of machine learning in IDEA StatiCa. At the moment, it is implemented only in Eurocode. Weld resistance is determined according to the most stressed weld element. Therefore, weld utilization is highly nonlinear. The resistance of the whole length is estimated by a machine-learning algorithm based on the stress distribution along the weld length.</p>\n<p>Weld sizing to capacity estimation requires results. Size of fillet welds is adjusted according to the following formula:</p>\n<p>\\[ a_{new} = a \\cdot Ut_c / Ut_{target} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>\\(a_{new}\\) – adjusted fillet weld size</li>\n <li>\\(a\\) – previously set fillet weld size</li>\n <li>\\(Ut_c\\) – capacity estimation based on machine learning algorithm visible at Weld check </li>\n <li>\\(Ut_{target}\\) – target utilization in Settings → Design → Autodesign → Weld sizing</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Resulting \\(a_{new}\\) is rounded up according to Preferences → Application units → New entity rounding → Weld size. </p>\n<p>Note that weld sizes are limited by detailing rules, e.g. weld size cannot be smaller than 3 mm (EN 1993-1-8 – 4.5.2). These detailing rules are adhered to. Also, keep in mind that multiple welds in IDEA StatiCa are often set by one value. In these cases, the size is set according to the most utilized one.</p>\n<p>Also, a calculation loop is available. When weld sizing method is set to capacity estimation, it:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Sizes the fillet welds to full strength</li>\n <li>Calculates the model</li>\n <li>Sizes the fillet welds to capacity estimation</li>\n <li>Calculates the model</li>\n</ol>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"b32d2f35-98c4-47f2-834f-f5968024303b\" data-image-id=\"b32d2f35-98c4-47f2-834f-f5968024303b\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0e70d6dc-2d15-40e1-9eb6-9d2ed5036c6c/Weld%20sizing%20button.png\" data-asset-id=\"b32d2f35-98c4-47f2-834f-f5968024303b\" data-image-id=\"b32d2f35-98c4-47f2-834f-f5968024303b\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Welds are then set at or below target utilization with just one click.</p>\n<h3>To minimum ductility</h3>\n<p>Weld sizing to minimum ductility automatically provides welded connections that are strong enough to prevent brittle failures. The weld strength allows for the initial yielding of the plate, but ultimately, the weld ruptures.</p>\n<p>The requirement for minimum ductility of welded joints in FprEN 1993-1-8:2023 – 6.9(4). It originates from Dutch national annex of EN 1993-1-8, where the fixed ratio of weld strength to plate strength is 0.8. It is also included in widely-used <a href=\"https://www.steelconstruction.info/images/a/a9/SCI_P358.pdf\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Green books from the UK, namely in Chapters C2 and C3</a>. However, the fixed ratio is suitable only for steel grade S355. In the second generation Eurocode, this is expanded for all steel grades.</p>\n<p>This requirement is checked for double-sided fillet welds by:</p>\n<p>\\[a/t=\\frac{\\beta_w\\gamma_{M2} f_y}{\\sqrt{2} f_u \\gamma_{M0} } \\cdot \\min \\left \\{1.0, 1.1\\frac{f_y}{f_u} \\right \\}\\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>\\(a\\) – weld throat thickness</li>\n <li>\\(t\\) – thickness of the plate connected by edge</li>\n <li>\\(\\beta_w\\) – weld correlation factor </li>\n <li>\\(\\gamma_{M2}\\) – safety factor for bolts and welds; editable in Code setup</li>\n <li>\\(f_y\\) – plate yield strength</li>\n <li>\\(f_u\\) – weld ultimate strength</li>\n <li>\\(\\gamma_{M0}\\) – safety factor for plates; editable in Code setup</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The weld throat thickness for single-sided fillet weld is twice larger than that for double-sided fillet weld.</p>\n<p>Note that the method is useful for transversely loaded welds and works if the plate is connected by its full width.</p>\n<h3>To full strength</h3>\n<p>Weld sizing to full strength automatically provides welds that are stronger than the connected plate. In the calculation, it is assumed that the plates are loaded in tension and welds transversely as the worst case for weld strength and ductility. This design is useful to avoid brittle failures of welds for static loading.</p>\n<p>This approach is also included in widely-used <a href=\"https://www.steelconstruction.info/File:SCI_P358.pdf\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Green books from the UK, namely in Chapter C1</a>.</p>\n<p>This requirement is checked for double-sided fillet welds by:</p>\n<p>\\[a/t=\\frac{\\beta_w\\gamma_{M2} f_y}{\\sqrt{2} f_u \\gamma_{M0} }\\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>\\(a\\) – weld throat thickness</li>\n <li>\\(t\\) – thickness of the plate connected by edge</li>\n <li>\\(\\beta_w\\) – weld correlation factor </li>\n <li>\\(\\gamma_{M2}\\) – safety factor for bolts and welds; editable in Code setup</li>\n <li>\\(f_y\\) – plate yield strength</li>\n <li>\\(f_u\\) – weld ultimate strength</li>\n <li>\\(\\gamma_{M0}\\) – safety factor for plates; editable in Code setup</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Note that the method is useful for transversely loaded welds and works if the plate is connected by its full width.</p>\n<h3>With overstrength</h3>\n<p>Weld sizing with overstrength automatically provides welds that are much stronger than the connected plate. Overstrength factor is specified Settings → Design → Autodesign → Weld sizing. The default value of 1.4 is taken from EN 1993-1-8 – 6.2.3 (5) to form a plastic hinge. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"46affa46-f7a7-4caa-bb19-12d801c4c6f4\" data-image-id=\"46affa46-f7a7-4caa-bb19-12d801c4c6f4\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/d01c2c80-c7bf-4e58-92ae-8769024d89c2/EN%201993-1-8%20-%206.2.3.png\" data-asset-id=\"46affa46-f7a7-4caa-bb19-12d801c4c6f4\" data-image-id=\"46affa46-f7a7-4caa-bb19-12d801c4c6f4\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>In the calculation, it is assumed that the plates are loaded in tension and welds transversely as the worst case for weld strength and ductility.

For simplification, the cone is considered to be square rather than round in plan. The concrete breakout stress in the CCD method is considered to decrease with an increase in size of the breakout surface. Consequently, the increase in strength of the breakout in the CCD method is proportional to the embedment depth to the power of 1.5. Anchors whose concrete cones overlap create a group of anchors which create a common concrete cone.

Plastic hinge is expected to appear in dissipative item and all non-dissipative items of the joint must be able to safely transfer forces due to the yielding in the dissipative item. The dissipative item is usually a beam in moment resisting frame but it may also be e.g. an end plate. The safety factor is not used for dissipative items. Two factors are assigned to the yield strength of the dissipative item:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>R</em><sub>y</sub> – ratio of probable to minimal yield strength – AISC 341-16 – Table A3.1; editable in materials</li>\n <li>\\( C_{pr}=\\frac{F_y+F_u}{2\\bullet F_y} \\le 1.2 \\) – strain-hardening factor</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The ultimate strength of the dissipative item is increased by factor <em>R</em><sub>t</sub> – ratio of probable to minimal tensile strength – AISC 341-16 – Table A3.1; editable in materials</p>\n<p>The material diagram is modified according to the following figure:</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"a1229dc4-5f3a-4bbf-8b62-6318f14e74f5\" data-image-id=\"a1229dc4-5f3a-4bbf-8b62-6318f14e74f5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/ef4b2114-522c-41f5-bda5-4439f2e20f8e/AISC-dissipative.png\" data-asset-id=\"a1229dc4-5f3a-4bbf-8b62-6318f14e74f5\" data-image-id=\"a1229dc4-5f3a-4bbf-8b62-6318f14e74f5\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The increased strength of the dissipative item allows for the input of loads that cause the plastic hinge to appear in the dissipative item.

From repetitive modeling tasks to late-stage design changes, these connection-related workflows can take up a significant portion of time and resources.</p>\n<p>To address these challenges, many engineering firms are turning to IDEA StatiCa not just for its analysis capabilities but for the workflow optimizations it offers. Three specific tools, <strong>Checkbot grouping and batch design</strong>, <strong>parametric templates</strong>, and the <strong>new connection wizard</strong>,<strong> </strong>are helping teams streamline their processes and maintain efficiency across projects of all sizes.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n93a841d8_f840_0152_922a_77de0d5e2c46\"></object>\n<h2>Checkbot – grouping & batch design</h2>\n<p>When the same connection type appears throughout a structure, whether it’s a base plate at each column or a beam-to-beam shear connection in multiple bays, repeating individual modeling and validation steps can consume valuable hours. <a data-item-id=\"caeb1a6c-2621-446f-8005-4d2799496a39\" href=\"\">Checkbot</a> helps you combine these similar connections so you can focus on one reference design instead of opening dozens of separate files.</p>\n<p>By recognizing patterns in member count and cross-section, <strong>Checkbot lets you work on a single node and then apply that connection model to every matching node</strong>. Once the reference connection is set up, the software performs all required calculations, code checks, and load combinations for the entire group. You’ll also be able to export your connections to BIM via IFC without leaving the Checkbot interface.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"6db33267-4ea8-4414-9c07-a66a17704ddc\" data-image-id=\"6db33267-4ea8-4414-9c07-a66a17704ddc\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/65faa61b-f067-49d5-818b-6307da332e3b/checkbot.png\" data-asset-id=\"6db33267-4ea8-4414-9c07-a66a17704ddc\" data-image-id=\"6db33267-4ea8-4414-9c07-a66a17704ddc\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Here's how it works:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Connections are automatically grouped</strong> by member count and section type.</li>\n <li><strong>Design one reference connection</strong>, and Checkbot applies it across the group.</li>\n <li><strong>Run design checks and analyses</strong> for the group, including all relevant load combinations, without opening each connection individually.</li>\n <li><strong>A single report</strong> summarizes every connection in either a summary or a detailed format.</li>\n <li><strong>IFC export</strong> integrates your results directly into BIM models.</li>\n <li><strong>Everything happens within Checkbot</strong>, no switching between programs.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Firms using Checkbot are seeing time savings of 50–60% over traditional workflows. By cutting down repetitive modeling and centralizing checks, engineers can work faster without sacrificing quality. Checkbot is especially valuable in BIM or FEA models with repeating geometries like beam-to-column connections, where consistency and organization are crucial across dozens of similar connections.</p>\n<p>To prove our words, we've run a small test. </p>\n<p>During our webinar on <a data-item-id=\"f473766d-15da-4182-9f16-ed3bea7d9630\" href=\"\">Complete connection design in IDEA StatiCa Checkbot</a>, we asked attending engineers how long it typically takes them to design joints for a project with approximately 200 connections. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"f1e80b05-15a5-436d-9d23-cee7efe85d28\" data-image-id=\"f1e80b05-15a5-436d-9d23-cee7efe85d28\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/7068e5f7-65a5-40ae-8e83-f3c339ca76d4/Structure.png\" data-asset-id=\"f1e80b05-15a5-436d-9d23-cee7efe85d28\" data-image-id=\"f1e80b05-15a5-436d-9d23-cee7efe85d28\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"a06a21e8-f3a5-4b40-a829-0d36e681f481\" data-image-id=\"a06a21e8-f3a5-4b40-a829-0d36e681f481\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b0ac9c9d-0a1e-49a2-8dba-31e79dd1cef0/poll%20results.png\" data-asset-id=\"a06a21e8-f3a5-4b40-a829-0d36e681f481\" data-image-id=\"a06a21e8-f3a5-4b40-a829-0d36e681f481\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<ul>\n <li>Over 80% said more than 6 hours.</li>\n <li>25% estimated over 24 hours. </li>\n</ul>\n<p>With IDEA StatiCa and the help of Checkbot, it took us exactly <strong>2 hours and 25 minutes</strong>.

With IDEA StatiCa’s parametric templates, it’s easier than ever to handle simple and modular connections, especially when projects include variations of the same base design.</p>\n<p><strong>IDEA StatiCa offers a library of ready-made parametric templates</strong> for common connections like shear tabs, moment end plates, and gusset plates. These templates are fully parametric, allowing engineers to quickly adjust inputs like thicknesses, member sizes, and plate dimensions while maintaining the overall logic of the design.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"4841ab72-8214-4823-be0d-5da39464bfb4\" data-image-id=\"4841ab72-8214-4823-be0d-5da39464bfb4\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0cc53027-53f7-45a0-a88a-1ffce78cad22/parametric%20templates%20image.png\" data-asset-id=\"4841ab72-8214-4823-be0d-5da39464bfb4\" data-image-id=\"4841ab72-8214-4823-be0d-5da39464bfb4\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Even more valuable is the ability to <a data-item-id=\"6c8e336a-172b-461f-ad1d-0ae8e5fdac78\" href=\"\"><strong>create your own parametric templates</strong></a>. If your team regularly works with standardized designs that vary slightly from project to project, this allows you to build a starting point tailored to your needs. Simply select the key parameters you want to control, adjust them as needed, and run the design check, all without needing to build the connection from scratch.</p>\n<p>Parametric templates are a massive time-saver, especially for repeated or modular connections. Where manual modeling can take 20-30 minutes for new users, templates cut that down to just 5-10 minutes by allowing quick adjustments to a few key parameters. They’re not only faster, but they also help maintain consistency across similar connection types.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n6da61a33_deaf_01ab_d0a7_8d99d029fb74\"></object>\n<h2>New Connection Wizard</h2>\n<p>To make it even easier to start your connection design, the new <a data-item-id=\"cc99ba50-ed96-445b-b357-96fbd857ba58\" href=\"\">Connection Wizard</a> provides a guided workflow from the moment you launch IDEA StatiCa Connection.

The offset of concrete block to the base plate is 200 mm upwards and to the left, 300 mm to the right and 0 mm downwards. The height of concrete block is 600 mm. Left and right anchors are 50 mm and 100 mm from the center of the column, respectively. This serves to achieve tensile and shear load eccentricity. All plates are designed to stay in elastic state.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"5027912a-fc67-4fc6-912c-0d88c5d72d7d\" data-image-id=\"5027912a-fc67-4fc6-912c-0d88c5d72d7d\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/463b4317-6fb1-4f67-ab4f-e5061cd590d6/geometry1.png\" data-asset-id=\"5027912a-fc67-4fc6-912c-0d88c5d72d7d\" data-image-id=\"5027912a-fc67-4fc6-912c-0d88c5d72d7d\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"e485e5da-9b4c-47dd-9e6d-67948cd6adc5\" data-image-id=\"e485e5da-9b4c-47dd-9e6d-67948cd6adc5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/214b4ddc-9b9c-4186-8cd7-addce07ec311/geometry2.png\" data-asset-id=\"e485e5da-9b4c-47dd-9e6d-67948cd6adc5\" data-image-id=\"e485e5da-9b4c-47dd-9e6d-67948cd6adc5\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<h2>Applied load</h2>\n<p>The column is loaded by tensile force 10 kN and shear forces in <em>y</em> and <em>z</em> direction, –5 kN and 2 kN. Both tensile and shear forces are acting on an eccentricity due to the position of the anchors.</p>\n<h2>Procedure</h2>\n<p>The anchors are designed according to ACI 318-14 – Chapter 17. Cracked plain concrete is assumed in the design. All loads are considered as static. Anchors are M12 A325M, cast-in headed with circular washer plates with the diameter of 24 mm. Shear forces are transferred via anchors. The strength of plates and welds is sufficient and is not checked here.</p>\n<p>Note: The conversion of imperial units to metric units of nonhomogenous formulas is in Appendix B of ACI 318-14. The formulas give similar but not exactly the same results. To avoid different utilization for imperial and metric units, the imperial units are preferred and the coefficients in nonhomogenous formulas are slightly modified for metric units, e.g. in Equation 17.4.4.1, instead of coefficient 13, the more precise coefficient 13.2855 is used.</p>\n<h2>Manual calculation</h2>\n<p>The check of anchors is provided according to ACI 318-14 – Chapter 17. Steel strength in tension and shear and pullout strength is provided for individual anchors and concrete breakout strength in tension and shear, concrete side-face blowout strength, and concrete pryout strength is provided for group of anchors. It is assumed concrete is plain and in cracked condition.</p>\n<h3>Force distribution</h3>\n<p>The tensile force is transferred via 2 anchors, one is 50 mm from force vector origin, the other is 100 mm. It is presumed that the closer anchor transfers 2/3 of the tensile force and the farther 1/3, i.e. the closer anchor is loaded by tensile force <em>N</em><sub>f1</sub> = 6.67 kN, the farther by <em>N</em><sub>f2</sub> = 3.33 kN. The force eccentricity of the group of anchors is 25 mm.</p>\n<p>The shear force in the direction to the closest edge is transferred via 2 anchors, one is 50 mm from force vector origin, the other is 100 mm. It is presumed that the closer anchor transfers 2/3 of the shear force and the farther 1/3, i.e. the closer anchor is loaded by shear force <em>V</em><sub>fx1</sub> = 3.33 kN, the farther by <em>V</em><sub>fx2</sub> = 1.67 kN. The force eccentricity of the group of anchors is 25 mm. The shear force in the direction parallel to the closest edge, 2 kN, is distributed equally between both anchors. The vector sums of shear forces are <em>V</em><sub>f1</sub> = 3.48 kN, <em>V</em><sub>f2</sub> = 1.94 kN, and for a group of anchors <em>V</em><sub>f</sub> = 5.39 kN.</p>\n<h3>Steel strength of anchor in tension</h3>\n<p>Steel strength of anchor in tension is determined according to ACI 318-14 – 17.4.1 as</p>\n<p><em>ϕN</em><sub>sa</sub> = <em>ϕ A</em><sub>se,N</sub><em>f</em><sub>uta</sub> = 0.7 ⋅ 84 ⋅ 827.4 = 48.7 kN ≥ <em>N</em><sub>f1</sub> = 6.67 kN</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>ϕ</em> = 0.7 – strength reduction factor for anchors in tension according to ACI 318-14 – 17.3.3</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>se,N</sub> = 84 mm<sup>2</sup> – tensile stress area</li>\n <li><em>f</em><sub>uta</sub> = 827.4 MPa – specified tensile strength of anchor steel and shall not be greater than 1.9 <em>f</em><sub>ya</sub> and 120 ksi</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Utilization: <em>N</em><sub>f1</sub> / <em>ϕN</em><sub>sa</sub> = 6.67 / 48.7 = 13.7 %</p>\n<h3>Concrete breakout strength in tension</h3>\n<p>Concrete breakout strength is designed according to the Concrete Capacity Design (CCD) in ACI 318-14 – Chapter 17.4.2.

The column and base plate are deformed and the base plate is in contact with concrete block. The bearing stress increases the forces in anchors. Thus, factors taking into account force eccentricity are slightly different. Concrete side-face blowout strength is in IDEA StatiCa Connection checked for each anchor separately but in manual calculation, it can be checked as a group to achieve slightly higher resistance. Due to these reasons, some individual load resistances are slightly different but only by a few percents. The final utilization – interaction of tensile and shear forces – is nearly identical, 106.2 % in manual assessment and 107.7 % in IDEA StatiCa.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"ef52a2f3_594f_0117_d9f7_0fd515c08564\"></object>"

Bolt strength in bearing (AISC 360-16 – J3.10) and strength of plates in tension (AISC 360-16 – J4.1) are also checked. The bolt threads are intercepted by the shear plane.</p>\n<h2>Manual calculation</h2>\n<h3>Bolt strength</h3>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"a02943eb-f588-437c-9d92-9b867c8019b5\" data-image-id=\"a02943eb-f588-437c-9d92-9b867c8019b5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b263f217-89c6-4f63-9a34-422844ce9180/manual.PNG\" data-asset-id=\"a02943eb-f588-437c-9d92-9b867c8019b5\" data-image-id=\"a02943eb-f588-437c-9d92-9b867c8019b5\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The resistance of one shear plane of one bolt in shear is 27.6 kN. Each bolt has two shear planes and there are 9 bolts at each half of the splice. The resistance is therefore 2 ∙ 9 ∙ 27.6 = 496.7 kN.</p>\n<p>The bearing strength and tearout strength resist the force acting on both shear planes, i.e. 2 ∙ 27.6 = 55.2 kN. The smallest strength is the tearout strength of bolts near the edge of connected plates with the thickness of 10 mm, 121 kN. Other bolts have bearing strength of 128.1 kN and the decisive is the plate with the thickness of 10 mm.

Bolts are utilized at 99.9 % and plates are yielding. From the plastic strain at the connected plate, it can be seen that the reserve is not very high.</p>\n<h2>Comparison</h2>\n<p>The tensile forces in bolts are neglected in manual calculation but they do not affect the shear strength of bolts by much. The load resistance in IDEA StatiCa Connection is 494 kN while in manual calculation, it is 496 kN. In IDEA StatiCa Connection, bolts are decisive and the plates are yielding. In manual calculation, the bolts and plate tensile rupture have the same load resistance. The difference between results provided by software and manual calculation is only 0.4 %.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"b854cfbd_36a1_014e_7dab_1787bca269c6\"></object>"

Two approaches for the design of single plate shear connections are presented in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em>. The first, for “conventional” configurations, offers some simplifications if certain dimensional limitations are met. The second, for “extended” configurations, is more broadly applicable but without the simplifications permitted for the design of conventional configurations. Specifically, conventional configurations must have a single vertical row of between 2 and 12 bolts, the distance between the bolt line and the weld line, <em>a</em>, must be equal to or less than 3.5 in., bolts must be in standard holes or short-slotted holes transverse to the member reaction, the vertical edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em>, must satisfy the minimum edge distance requirements of Table J3.4 of the AISC <em>Specification</em> (2016), the horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em>, must be greater than or equal to 2<em>d</em>, where <em>d</em> is the bolt diameter, and either the thickness of the plate, <em>t</em><em><sub>p</sub></em>, or the thickness of the beam web, <em>t</em><em><sub>w</sub></em>, must satisfy maximum thickness requirements.</p>\n<p>The primary simplification to design for connections that meet these requirements is that bolt group strength may be evaluated as follows: bolt shear strength checked using the eccentricity listed in Table 10-9 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017) and bearing and tearout checked assuming the reaction is applied concentrically. This simplification avoids the need to consider tearout in an eccentrically loaded bolt group. For extended configuration calculations, where tearout is considered when determining the strength of the eccentrically loaded bolt group, two different methods are employed. The first method is a commonly used conservative approximation known as the “poison bolt” method. In this method, the strength of the eccentrically loaded bolt group is obtained by identifying the smallest possible strength for any of the bolts for any direction of force then utilizing that value of strength in conjunction with a value of <em>C</em> from the tables in Part 7 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The values of <em>C</em> listed in the tables are computed from the instantaneous center of rotation (IC) method. The second method is to use the modified instantaneous center of rotation method developed by Denavit et al. (2021) in which tearout is considered explicitly within the iterative procedure for determining the strength of the bolt group.</p>\n<p>Beyond bolt group strength, shear yielding of the plate, shear rupture of the plate, block shear rupture of the plate, and weld shear are also checked for conventional configurations. Additional checks for extended configurations include those for flexural rupture, plate interaction strength, and plate buckling.</p>\n<p>All traditional calculations were performed in accordance with the provisions for load and resistance factor design (LRFD) in the AISC <em>Specification</em> (2016).</p>\n<p>The CBFEM results were obtained from IDEA StatiCa Version 21.0. An example model is shown in Fig. 2. The maximum permitted loads were determined iteratively by adjusting the applied load input to a value that the program deems safe but if increased by a small amount (e.g., 0.1 kip) the program would deem unsafe. In all models, the supported beam was assigned a “N-Vz-My” model type to ensure in-plane behavior. Unless noted otherwise, forces were defined such that the point of zero moment was located at the weld line, matching the assumption of the design methods presented in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017).</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1918512d-44c9-4872-9571-db8e37035389\" data-image-id=\"1918512d-44c9-4872-9571-db8e37035389\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/79ac3744-5239-47e8-b103-9590f9953d52/Single%20plate%20shear2.png\" data-asset-id=\"1918512d-44c9-4872-9571-db8e37035389\" data-image-id=\"1918512d-44c9-4872-9571-db8e37035389\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 2 Single plate shear connection modeled in IDEA StatiCa.</em></p>\n<h2>2 Bolt Group Strength</h2>\n<p>First, connections, where the strength of the bolt group controls the strength of the connection, are investigated.

Bolt shear rupture was the controlling limit state for all values of <em>a</em> and all methods of calculation. The IDEA StatiCa results match well with the traditional calculations for the extended configuration. Where applicable, the traditional calculations for the conventional configuration give somewhat greater shear capacity. The reason for this is that a reduced eccentricity of <em>a</em>/2 is permitted to be assumed for conventional configurations per Table 10-9 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The eccentricity of the bolt group is taken as <em>a</em> for the extended configuration calculations. The eccentricity of the bolt group is also equal to <em>a</em> for IDEA StatiCa because the point of zero moment was defined to be at the weld line. The poison bolt method and the modified IC method provide the same results indicating that tearout did not control for any bolt (i.e., the plate and beam web were sufficiently thick and the bolt spacing and edge distances were sufficiently large).</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1c83acfc-3f77-4f00-bb6e-dc67d76eb290\" data-image-id=\"1c83acfc-3f77-4f00-bb6e-dc67d76eb290\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2a2bc715-a136-4478-84ba-c7a0496e5bd2/Single%20plate%20shear4.png\" data-asset-id=\"1c83acfc-3f77-4f00-bb6e-dc67d76eb290\" data-image-id=\"1c83acfc-3f77-4f00-bb6e-dc67d76eb290\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 4 Shear capacity of single plate shear connection with respect to ‘a’.</em></p>\n<p>Variation of the shear capacity with the distance <em>a</em> is presented in Fig. 5 for connections with the same properties as previously described but with two vertical rows of bolts (Fig. 6) and <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 1.5 in.

For these comparisons the column is a W14x90 and the supported beam, which frames into the flange of the column, is a W18x130. Both conform to ASTM A992 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). The plate is 14 in. tall (<em>s</em> = 3 in., <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em> = 1 in.) and conforms to ASTM A572 Gr. 50 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). The thickness of the plate varies from 3/16 in. to 3/4 in. in these analyses. There is one vertical row of (5) 3/4 in. diameter A490 bolts with threads not excluded from the shear plane and horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 1.5 in. Fillet welds were provided on both sides of the plate with size varying with plate thickness in accordance with the (<sup>5</sup>/<sub>8</sub>)<em>t</em><em><sub>p</sub></em> rule noted in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The distance from the weld line to the bolt line, <em>a</em>, was 3.0 in. These connections satisfy the requirements for the conventional configuration for plate thicknesses less than or equal to 7/16 in.</p>\n<p>Variation of the shear capacity of the connections with plate thickness is presented in Fig. 7 with the controlling limit sates presented in Table 1. The most notable result is that the traditional calculations for the extended configuration using the poison bolt method show far lower strengths than the other methods. The poison bolt method, in which the lowest possible strength for any bolt is taken as the strength of every bolt, can be highly conservative. However, it is used in practice for the evaluation of eccentrically loaded bolt groups where tearout may control. For this connection, the strength of all the bolts is based on the tearout strength of the bottom bolt using an edge distance of <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em> = 1 in. resulting in a clear distance <em>l</em><em><sub>c</sub></em> = 0.594 in. In IDEA StatiCa and the modified IC method, the strength of each individual bolt is based on the clear distance in the direction of force for that individual bolt. For example, at the limiting shear capacity of the connection with 1/4 in. thick plate, the clear distance for the bottom bolt computed by IDEA StatiCa is <em>l</em><em><sub>c</sub></em> = 1.240 in. based on the angle of load in the bolt (Fig. 8b). Tearout strength is proportional to clear distance, so the strength of the bolts per IDEA StatiCa is significantly greater than assumed in the poison bolt method.</p>\n<p>For the connections with the thinner plates, the plate controlled in both IDEA StatiCa and the traditional calculations (other than those using the poison bolt method). However, in IDEA StatiCa, plastic strains were concentrated at the holes of the top and especially the bottom bolts (Fig. 8). This contrasts with the assumed shear rupture failure plane used in the traditional calculations (i.e., a vertical line through the center of the bolts). Despite the differences in behavior, the resulting shear strength was close with IDEA StatiCa providing slightly lower shear capacities for the connections with the thinner plates.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"f53a9d93-44d2-478c-99a2-d061f3cb8a24\" data-image-id=\"f53a9d93-44d2-478c-99a2-d061f3cb8a24\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2869c09b-8eb4-4204-9c27-523a1056385d/Single%20plate%20shear7.png\" data-asset-id=\"f53a9d93-44d2-478c-99a2-d061f3cb8a24\" data-image-id=\"f53a9d93-44d2-478c-99a2-d061f3cb8a24\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 7 Shear Capacity of single plate shear connection with respect to plate thickness.</em></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><em>Table 1.

This section investigates two additional configurations, one where the supported beam frames into the web of a column and another where the supported beam frames into the web of a girder.</p>\n<p>For the case of the supported beam framing into the web of a column (Fig. 9), the column is a W27x114, and the supported beam is a W18x50. For the case of the supported beam framing into the web of a girder (Fig. 11), the girder is a W21x55, and the supported beam is a W18x46. All wide flange shapes conform to ASTM A992 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). For both cases, the plate is 13 in. tall (<em>s</em> = 3 in., <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em> = 2 in.), 3/8 in. thick, and conforms to ASTM A36 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 36 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 58 ksi). The connections have a single vertical row of (4) 3/4 in. diameter A325 bolts with threads not excluded from the shear plane and horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 2 in. The weld was a 5/16 in. fillet weld on both sides of the plate.

Accordingly, all the IDEA StatiCa analyses thus far in this document have utilized an equivalent assumption for the position on the member from the node where the load is applied, <em>X</em>. However, other choices of the location of the point of zero moment could be made, especially if the choice is made consistently with the location of the pin in the structural analysis model of the frame.</p>\n<p>Analyses were performed to investigate the impact of the location of the point of zero moment. For these analyses, the column is a W14x90, and the supported beam, which frames into the flange of the column, is a W18x143. Both conform to ASTM A992 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). The plate is 14 in. tall (<em>s</em> = 3 in., <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em> = 1 in.), 3/8 in. thick, and conforms to ASTM A572 Gr. 50 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). There is one vertical row of (5) 3/4 in. diameter A490 bolts with threads excluded from the shear plane and horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 1 in. Fillet welds were provided on both sides of the plate with size varying with plate thickness in accordance with the (<sup>5</sup>/<sub>8</sub>)<em>t</em><em><sub>p</sub></em> rule noted in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The distance from the weld line to the bolt line, <em>a</em>, was 9 in.</p>\n<p>Variation of the shear capacity with the distance <em>X</em> (measured from the centerline of the column to the location of the point of zero moment) is presented in Fig. 13. The controlling limit state per IDEA StatiCa was bolt tearout for x ≤ 16 in. and weld resistance for greater values of <em>X</em>. The controlling limit states for the traditional calculations using the modified IC method were bolt group strength for x < 17 in. and shear rupture of the plate for greater values of <em>X</em>. The controlling limit state for the traditional calculations using the poison bolt method was bolt group strength for all values of <em>X</em>. It is interesting to note that the IDEA StatiCa results were near those from the poison bolt method for this comparison. For these cases, the direction of the force in the controlling bolt is near that of the worst-case condition used in the poison bolt method (Fig. 14).</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"f8f1b122-82d9-487e-9037-6a37aadf6566\" data-image-id=\"f8f1b122-82d9-487e-9037-6a37aadf6566\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/df624fb8-6c6a-41ba-a529-c7f320de608f/Single%20plate%20shear13.png\" data-asset-id=\"f8f1b122-82d9-487e-9037-6a37aadf6566\" data-image-id=\"f8f1b122-82d9-487e-9037-6a37aadf6566\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 13 Shear capacity of single plate shear connection versus the location of the point of zero moment</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"ca4b343c-7172-4c9e-8c00-eb535caaf1af\" data-image-id=\"ca4b343c-7172-4c9e-8c00-eb535caaf1af\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b0f5dd53-44a8-4400-8876-96667a9585fa/Single%20plate%20shear14.png\" data-asset-id=\"ca4b343c-7172-4c9e-8c00-eb535caaf1af\" data-image-id=\"ca4b343c-7172-4c9e-8c00-eb535caaf1af\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 14 Detailed results for connection the position of the point of zero moment located at the weld line.</em></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"de791749_3c52_01ea_bd94_9ad1a63d8074\"></object>\n<h2>6 Stiffness Analysis</h2>\n<p>In addition to strength requirements, single plate shear connections must also satisfy rotation capacity requirements. Section B3.4a of the AISC <em>Specification</em> (2016) states that “a simple connection shall have sufficient rotation capacity to accommodate the required rotation determined by the analysis of the structure.” For the traditional calculations, this requirement is satisfied by maximum plate and beam web thickness limitations described in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). With IDEA StatiCa, this requirement can be satisfied by performing a stiffness analysis.</p>\n<p>The rotation capacities from a series of analyses on connections with varying plate thickness are presented in Fig. 15. For these analyses, the column is a W14x90, and the supported beam, which frames into the flange of the column, is a W18x130. Both conform to ASTM A992 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi).

There is one vertical row of (5) 7/8 in. diameter A325 bolts with threads not excluded from the shear plane and horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 1.5 in. Fillet welds were provided on both sides of the plate with size varying with plate thickness in accordance with the (<sup>5</sup>/<sub>8</sub>)<em>t</em><em><sub>p</sub></em> rule noted in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The distance from the weld line to the bolt line, <em>a</em>, was 3 in. These connections satisfy the requirements for the conventional configuration and rotation capacity since all plate thicknesses are less than or equal to 1/2 in. (AISC <em>Manual </em>Table 10-9).</p>\n<p>The analyses were performed using the ‘ST’ (stiffness) analysis type. Unlike the previous analyses, these models were loaded with bending moments about the major axis of the beam. The rotational capacity was independent of the magnitude of applied load.</p>\n<p>Per Section B3.4a of the AISC <em>Specification</em> (2016) the required rotation capacity is determined from the structural analysis and depends on the framing and loads. A value of 0.03 rad or 30 mrad is commonly accepted as a reasonable upper bound for beam end rotation and the plate thickness limitations of Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017) were calibrated to meet this upper bound (Muir and Thornton 2011). The rotation capacities shown in Fig. 15 are less than 30 mrad despite meeting the plate thickness requirements. The values may still be acceptable to a wide range of cases which have less beam end rotation than the upper bound, however, it is also possible that the stiffness analysis in IDEA StatiCa is not fully capturing the ductility of the connections. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"7fea45b3-435e-42d2-bfb3-299061967305\" data-image-id=\"7fea45b3-435e-42d2-bfb3-299061967305\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2ff74085-3a3a-4d90-b4ab-9842e0993b74/Single%20plate%20shear15.png\" data-asset-id=\"7fea45b3-435e-42d2-bfb3-299061967305\" data-image-id=\"7fea45b3-435e-42d2-bfb3-299061967305\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 15 Rotation capacity with respect to varying plate thickness.</em></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"d9ab241d_ab2c_0125_7aec_7c0be2ef8566\"></object>\n<h2>7 Summary</h2>\n<p>This study compared the design of single plate shear connections by traditional calculation methods used in US practice and IDEA StatiCa. Key observations from the study include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>The available strength of single plate shear connections per IDEA StatiCa agrees well with traditional calculations using the method for extended configurations.</li>\n <li>The available strength per IDEA StatiCa was found to be conservative in comparison to the traditional calculations using the method for conventional configurations, which assumes a reduced eccentricity in some cases.</li>\n <li>IDEA StatiCa detects the clear distance for each bolt individually for consideration of tearout, resulting in appropriate reductions in strength when edge distances are small.</li>\n <li>IDEA StatiCa allows the investigation of different assumed locations of the point of zero moment.</li>\n <li>Stiffness analysis in IDEA StatiCa can be used to evaluate the rotation capacity requirements of AISC <em>Specification</em> Section B3.4a. However, the results were found to be conservative in comparison to the design rules presented in the AISC <em>Manual</em> for the cases examined.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>8 References</h2>\n<p>AISC. (2016).

Capacity design is missing in Australian standard so New Zealand standard is used instead. Plastic hinge is expected to appear in dissipative item and all non-dissipative items of the joint must be able to safely transfer forces due to the yielding in the dissipative item. The dissipative item is usually a beam in moment resisting frame but it may also be e.g. an end plate. The safety factor is not used for dissipative items. The yield strength of the dissipative item is calculated as <em>F</em><sub>y,max</sub> = 0.9 <em>ϕ</em><sub>os</sub> <em>ϕ</em><sub>om</sub><em>f</em><sub>y</sub>, where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>ϕ</em><sub>os</sub> – strain-hardening factor; the recommended values are <em>ϕ</em><sub>os</sub> = 1.15 for beam in moment resisting frame, <em>γ</em><sub>sh</sub> = 1.0 otherwise; editable in operation</li>\n <li><em>ϕ</em><sub>om</sub> – overstrength factor – EN 1998-1, Cl. 6.2; the recommended value is <em>ϕ</em><sub>om</sub> = 1.3; editable in materials</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The material diagram is modified according to the following figure:</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"5933ab0d-9c8a-4f8c-920c-6f38f68ccea8\" data-image-id=\"5933ab0d-9c8a-4f8c-920c-6f38f68ccea8\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/c2d1b270-d2f2-46fd-ad58-dbd8122b9c17/Capacity_design.PNG\" data-asset-id=\"5933ab0d-9c8a-4f8c-920c-6f38f68ccea8\" data-image-id=\"5933ab0d-9c8a-4f8c-920c-6f38f68ccea8\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The increased strength of the dissipative item allows for the input of loads that cause the plastic hinge to appear in dissipative item. In the case of moment resisting frame and beam as the dissipative item, the beam should be loaded by <em>M</em><em><sub>y</sub></em> = <em>f</em><sub>y,max</sub><em>W</em><sub>pl,</sub><em><sub>y</sub></em> and corresponding shear force<em>V</em><em><sub>z</sub></em> = –2 <em>M</em><em><sub>y</sub></em> / <em>L</em><sub>h</sub>, where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>f</em><sub>y</sub> – characteristic yield strength</li>\n <li><em>W</em><sub>pl,</sub><em><sub>y</sub></em> – plastic section modulus</li>\n <li><em>L</em><sub>h</sub> – distance between plastic hinges on the beam</li>\n</ul>\n<p>In case of asymmetric joint, the beam should be loaded by both sagging and hogging bending moments and their corresponding shear forces.</p>\n<p>The plates of dissipative items are excluded from check.</p>"

Release notes 21 also describe major AISC update with explanations and tips. </p>\n<p>The new 21.0 version of IDEA StatiCa brings another batch of enhancements in Concrete to the engineering community as well. Starting with IDEA StatiCa Member application to be thoroughly verified and taken from BETA, accompanied by a set of improvements to the RCS application, such as fire resistance, or the Detail application, where the main attention has been paid to the CSFM solver.

What did we try to achieve with this version?

Connection Browser can now create company sets of steel connections. Two new BIM links, improved imports to Checkbot for all existing links. New connections modeling tools, better concrete result analysis, improved UI of our applications, and much more.</p>\n<p>Discover all the improvements below and Calculate yesterday's estimates!</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n4b71ac16_e7a2_01eb_34ff_f0e3bb6951af\"></object>\n<h2>News for Steel</h2>\n<p>Although our steel applications for connection and member design are leading the market already, we keep improving them rapidly. Connection Browser now enables you to create and share your connection designs with colleagues in your company. This means your unique company set of connections, synced automatically to all users of your license, ready to be used! </p>\n<p>We have solved the challenging cutting and welding of members going through another member of a hollow section. Moreover, you will be able to simulate the connection of the member to, for example, a slab providing additional support against lateral-torsional buckling. This works both for IDEA StatiCa Connection and IDEA StatiCa Member.</p>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa Connection is now also able to check the contact between a baseplate and a concrete block even without installed anchors. Our focus was also on updating our material library and complementing the code checks based on your design code. We have specified the points of consideration when connecting hollow sections with long bolts going through.</p>\n<p>Analysis of fatigue was supplemented by the checks of the stress directly in the welds as well as in plates next to them. And for better safety, the setup of loads in equilibrium will be the default from now on.</p>\n<p>Last but not least, our Connection Lite free cloud service was updated to comply with the latest desktop application.</p>\n<h3>Enable your team to design thousands of connections:</h3>\n<ul>\n <li>Connection Browser now creates company sets of your steel connection designs</li>\n <li>Improved filters to find and save connections</li>\n <li>Updated the default set of connections</li>\n</ul>\n<p> <a data-item-id=\"f15a7793-7b4f-4714-b8aa-13f6579d95e6\" href=\"\">Read about company sets & Connection Browser</a></p>\n<h3>Connection design and analysis improvements:</h3>\n<ul>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"97f7c92f-a7e8-45a5-978b-3187a9925415\" href=\"\">Surface - all around new cutting method</a> (since 21.1.2 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"3410fe73-5e05-4f0b-9e97-52c983c69bbd\" href=\"\">Lateral-Torsional Restraint at the member with defined stiffness</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"a2f4a486-315f-4571-a9b3-abdcfff0b7a8\" href=\"\">Fatigue analysis improvements</a> (since 21.1.1 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"f89307a5-4bac-4632-bb5f-1a2586f199a3\" href=\"\">Through bolts for hollow sections warning</a> (since 21.1.2 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"0f256907-a887-4488-93c1-a30f11220a33\" href=\"\">Baseplate connection without anchors</a> (since 21.1.4 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"da6f80aa-abfd-4e64-b691-1dc7ea8e3d4c\" href=\"\">Loads in equilibrium as default</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"e2d457a6-b2f9-4721-86be-c748df98ab24\" href=\"\">Material library and code checks update</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"213a6cc5-7041-41ba-b802-0c36bd1d724f\" href=\"\">Curve export to DXF</a></li>\n <li>Connection Lite update</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>News for Concrete and Prestressing</h2>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa Detail has earned a leading position in the design and assessment of concrete structures and details, especially in cases of difficult parts of the structures with openings or abrupt changes in geometry where classical beam theory cannot be applied. We have listened to your requests and developed frequently asked features to IDEA StatiCa Detail. Now engineers can minimize the errors and let IDEA StatiCa calculate the self-weight of the structure automatically. No matter how complex is the geometry, haunches, complex cross-sections, discontinuity regions with different thicknesses. We improved and speed up the CSFM solver and expanded the analysis results. IDEA StatiCa Detail is a powerful, fast, and safe tool for the structural design of concrete structures.</p>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa Member - in the previous version, we implemented the GMNIA nonlinear method. In version 22, we focused on user interface improvements, such as facilitating the input of geometry and loads, and especially on the interpretation of the outputs of the nonlinear analysis. These UI improvements speed up the process of modeling, facilitate the inputs and make your work in IDEA StatiCa Member even more efficient.</p>\n<p>The improvements in Concrete and Prestressing include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"0e81f59d-e89c-424e-8e89-d2b86855097e\" href=\"\">Auto-calculation of self-weight of discontinuity regions</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"e72403d0-17fe-4c34-9f4f-3efe4b71a8fc\" href=\"\">Up to 4-times faster CSFM solver</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"c80ce766-75f2-407b-9dd0-6f06b8f0ee22\" href=\"\">Thorough CSFM results are available</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"ba69d356-8ed7-4fe3-8f66-f74fd6d3a159\" href=\"\">Auto-calculation of short-term losses for post-tensioned tendons in IDEA StatiCa Detail</a> </li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"11428b88-a3f6-4b73-8e0e-3080894c3633\" href=\"\">Bulk import from DXF drawing to IDEA StatiCa Detail</a> (since 21.1.1 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"73df02c3-5ea5-460a-b0e2-0738bca2595f\" href=\"\">Ordering of load cases in IDEA StatiCa Detail</a> (since 21.1.1 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"48a5fe9b-d1ec-4d33-9c74-a5b65cb56026\" href=\"\">Improved result interpretation of concrete members</a> (since 21.1.2 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"bae25668-6a99-45be-955e-c380837b7dd2\" href=\"\">Model management improved, right-click actions and point loads in Member</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"e6864600-b2e4-4368-865f-77dc7bec4f72\" href=\"\">Implementation of the Dutch Annex NEN 1992-1-1 NB 2020 for code-checks of reinforced and prestressed concrete sections</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"293fcced-8994-4a81-a805-88267657c66a\" href=\"\">Update of an eccentricity definition of a normal force for concrete compressed columns</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>News for BIM links</h2>\n<p>Structural engineers use <a data-item-id=\"caeb1a6c-2621-446f-8005-4d2799496a39\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Checkbot</a> a lot - on average, nearly 40,000 steel connections are imported every month worldwide.

Moreover, you will be able to simulate the connection of the member to, for example, a slab providing additional support against lateral-torsional buckling. This works both for IDEA StatiCa Connection and IDEA StatiCa Member.</p>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa Connection is now also able to check the contact between a baseplate and a concrete block even without installed anchors. Our focus was also on updating our material library and complementing the code checks based on your design code. We have specified the points of consideration when connecting hollow sections with long bolts going through.</p>\n<p>Analysis of fatigue was supplemented by the checks of the stress directly in the welds as well as in plates next to them. And for better safety, the setup of loads in equilibrium will be the default from now on.</p>\n<p>Last but not least, our Connection Lite free cloud service was updated to comply with the latest desktop application.</p>\n<h3>Enable your team to design thousands of connections:</h3>\n<ul>\n <li>Connection Browser now creates company sets of your steel connection designs</li>\n <li>Improved filters to find and save connections</li>\n <li>Updated the default set of connections</li>\n</ul>\n<p> <a data-item-id=\"f15a7793-7b4f-4714-b8aa-13f6579d95e6\" href=\"\">Read about company sets & Connection Browser</a></p>\n<h3>Connection design and analysis improvements:</h3>\n<ul>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"97f7c92f-a7e8-45a5-978b-3187a9925415\" href=\"\">Surface - all around new cutting method</a> (since 21.1.2 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"3410fe73-5e05-4f0b-9e97-52c983c69bbd\" href=\"\">Lateral-Torsional Restraint at the member with defined stiffness</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"a2f4a486-315f-4571-a9b3-abdcfff0b7a8\" href=\"\">Fatigue analysis improvements</a> (since 21.1.1 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"f89307a5-4bac-4632-bb5f-1a2586f199a3\" href=\"\">Through bolts for hollow sections warning</a> (since 21.1.2 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"0f256907-a887-4488-93c1-a30f11220a33\" href=\"\">Baseplate connection without anchors</a> (since 21.1.4 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"da6f80aa-abfd-4e64-b691-1dc7ea8e3d4c\" href=\"\">Loads in equilibrium as default</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"e2d457a6-b2f9-4721-86be-c748df98ab24\" href=\"\">Material library and code checks update</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"213a6cc5-7041-41ba-b802-0c36bd1d724f\" href=\"\">Curve export to DXF</a></li>\n <li>Connection Lite update</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>News for Concrete and Prestressing</h2>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa Detail has earned a leading position in the design and assessment of concrete structures and details, especially in cases of difficult parts of the structures with openings or abrupt changes in geometry where classical beam theory cannot be applied. We have listened to your requests and developed frequently asked features to IDEA StatiCa Detail. Now engineers can minimize the errors and let IDEA StatiCa calculate the self-weight of the structure automatically. No matter how complex is the geometry, haunches, complex cross-sections, discontinuity regions with different thicknesses. We improved and speed up the CSFM solver and expanded the analysis results. IDEA StatiCa Detail is a powerful, fast, and safe tool for the structural design of concrete structures.</p>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa Member - in the previous version, we implemented the GMNIA nonlinear method. In version 22, we focused on user interface improvements, such as facilitating the input of geometry and loads, and especially on the interpretation of the outputs of the nonlinear analysis. These UI improvements speed up the process of modeling, facilitate the inputs and make your work in IDEA StatiCa Member even more efficient.</p>\n<p>The improvements in Concrete and Prestressing include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"0e81f59d-e89c-424e-8e89-d2b86855097e\" href=\"\">Auto-calculation of self-weight of discontinuity regions</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"e72403d0-17fe-4c34-9f4f-3efe4b71a8fc\" href=\"\">Up to 4-times faster CSFM solver</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"c80ce766-75f2-407b-9dd0-6f06b8f0ee22\" href=\"\">Thorough CSFM results are available</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"ba69d356-8ed7-4fe3-8f66-f74fd6d3a159\" href=\"\">Auto-calculation of short-term losses for post-tensioned tendons in IDEA StatiCa Detail</a> </li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"11428b88-a3f6-4b73-8e0e-3080894c3633\" href=\"\">Bulk import from DXF drawing to IDEA StatiCa Detail</a> (since 21.1.1 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"73df02c3-5ea5-460a-b0e2-0738bca2595f\" href=\"\">Ordering of load cases in IDEA StatiCa Detail</a> (since 21.1.1 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"48a5fe9b-d1ec-4d33-9c74-a5b65cb56026\" href=\"\">Improved result interpretation of concrete members</a> (since 21.1.2 patch)</li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"bae25668-6a99-45be-955e-c380837b7dd2\" href=\"\">Model management improved, right-click actions and point loads in Member</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"e6864600-b2e4-4368-865f-77dc7bec4f72\" href=\"\">Implementation of the Dutch Annex NEN 1992-1-1 NB 2020 for code-checks of reinforced and prestressed concrete sections</a></li>\n <li><a data-item-id=\"293fcced-8994-4a81-a805-88267657c66a\" href=\"\">Update of an eccentricity definition of a normal force for concrete compressed columns</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>News for BIM links</h2>\n<p>Structural engineers use <a data-item-id=\"caeb1a6c-2621-446f-8005-4d2799496a39\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Checkbot</a> a lot - on average, nearly 40,000 steel connections are imported every month worldwide.

And that means something – IDEA StatiCa is used by over 3500 customers who share more than 4000 unique IDEA StatiCa projects <strong>every month</strong>.</p>\n<p>How did we get from number 10 to 20? The sheer volume of new functionalities seems to justify the “+10,” but the reason is more straightforward – align the numbering with year count. In 2020, we release IDEA StatiCa 20.</p>\n<p>This version brings an exceptional volume of new features and improvements. All that with our focus to enable engineers to work faster, evaluate the requirements of the national code thoroughly, and use the optimal amount of material. Highlights are:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>New online licensing system – no more hassle with installation</li>\n <li>IDEA StatiCa can now generate “sketches” to speed up the detailing process</li>\n <li>110 new connection templates added to the starting wizard</li>\n <li>Steel-to-timber connections can now be designed and checked</li>\n <li>Cross-section databases are now automatically filtered based on your regional settings</li>\n <li>Hong Kong and Indian codes are now supported</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We hope you will enjoy all our new features and improvements and would love to hear your feedback anytime. </p>\n<p>BTW, expect a little break from new features in Steel for the rest of the year. The 2020 autumn release will be focused on Concrete and BIM.</p>\n<p>Calculate yesterday’s estimates!</p>"

However, there are many locations on the structure where the theory of members is not valid, e.g., welded joints, bolted connections, footing, holes in walls, the tapering height of cross-section and point loads. The structural analysis in such locations is difficult and it requires special attention. The behavior is non-linear and the nonlinearities must be respected, e.g., yielding of the material of plates, contact between end plates or base plate and concrete block, one-sided actions of bolts and anchors, welds. Design codes, e.g. EN1993-1-8, and also technical literature offer engineering solution methods. Their general feature is derivation for typical structural shapes and simple loadings. The method of components is used very often.</p>\n<h4>Component method</h4>\n<p>The component method (CM) solves the joint as a system of interconnected items – components. The corresponding model is built per each joint type to be able to determine forces and stresses in each component – see the following picture.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"cedfb2e2-64f2-40c2-8fec-92c8ad55a3ed\" data-image-id=\"cedfb2e2-64f2-40c2-8fec-92c8ad55a3ed\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/46167222-5959-469c-8c60-8a14b0148787/General%20introduction%20for%20structural%20design%20of%20steel%20connections.png\" data-asset-id=\"cedfb2e2-64f2-40c2-8fec-92c8ad55a3ed\" data-image-id=\"cedfb2e2-64f2-40c2-8fec-92c8ad55a3ed\" alt=\"IDEA StatiCa Connection theoretical background for the advanced structural design of steel connections.

As the proper model must be created for each joint type, the method usage has limits when solving joints of general shapes and general loads.</p>\n<p>IDEA StatiCa together with a project team of Department of Steel and Timber Structures of Faculty of Civil Engineering in Prague and Institute of Metal and Timber Structures of Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Brno University of Technology, developed a method for advanced design of steel structural joints.</p>\n<p><strong>Component Based Finite Element Model</strong> (<a href=\"https://www.cbfem.com/\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CBFEM</a>) method is:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>General</strong> enough to be usable for most of the joints, footings, and details in engineering practice.</li>\n <li><strong>Simple and fast</strong> enough in daily practice to provide results in a time comparable to current methods and tools.</li>\n <li><strong>Comprehensive</strong> enough to provide structural engineer clear information about joint behavior, stress, strain, and reserves of individual components and about overall safety and reliability.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The CBFEM method is based on the idea that most of the verified and very useful parts of CM should be kept. The weak point of CM – its generality when analyzing stresses of individual components – was replaced by modeling and analysis using the Finite Element Method (FEM).</p>\n<p>FEM is a general method commonly used for structural analysis. The usage of FEM for modeling of joints of any shapes seems to be ideal (Virdi, 1999). The elastic-plastic analysis is required, as the steel ordinarily yields in the structure. In fact, the results of the linear analysis are useless for joint design.</p>\n<p>FEM models are used for research purposes of joint behavior, which usually apply spatial elements and measured values of material properties.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"ea4a8ae4-b44a-4176-a7df-1b27731870ab\" data-image-id=\"ea4a8ae4-b44a-4176-a7df-1b27731870ab\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/f4350bd3-6406-41af-bb2b-ad67a241fade/T-stub-research.png\" data-asset-id=\"ea4a8ae4-b44a-4176-a7df-1b27731870ab\" data-image-id=\"ea4a8ae4-b44a-4176-a7df-1b27731870ab\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>FEM model of a joint for research.

Equilibrium equations are assembled in joints and internal forces on the ends of beams are determined after solving the whole structure. In fact, the joint is loaded by those forces. The resultant of forces from all members in the joint is zero – the whole joint is in equilibrium.</p>\n<p>The real shape of a joint is not known in the structural model. The engineer only defines whether the joint is assumed to be rigid or hinged.</p>\n<p>It is necessary to create a trustworthy model of joint, which respect the real state, to design the joint properly. The ends of members with the length of a 2-3 multiple of maximal cross-section height are used in the CBFEM method.

Sextuplets of forces from the theoretical joint are transferred to the end of the segment – the values of forces are kept, but the moments are modified by the actions of forces on corresponding arms.</p>\n<p>The segment ends at the joint are not connected. The connection must be modeled. So-called manufacturing operations are used in the CBFEM method to model the connection. Manufacturing operations are especially: cuts, offsets, holes, stiffeners, ribs, end plates and splices, cleats, gusset plates, and others. Fastening elements (welds and bolts) are also added.</p>\n<p><a data-item-id=\"b0a659df-8f92-4d1f-abb6-2efa02bad946\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Connection</a> can perform two types of analysis:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Geometrically linear analysis with material and contact nonlinearities for stress and strain analysis,</li>\n <li>Eigenvalue analysis to determine the possibility of buckling.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>In the case of connections, the geometrically nonlinear analysis is not necessary unless plates are very slender.

"value": "<p>Increase in number of elements provides more precise results but at the cost of higher computational demand.</p>\n<h4>Plate model</h4>\n<p>Shell elements are recommended for modeling of plates in the FEA of structural connection. 4-node quadrangle shell elements with nodes at its corners are applied. Six degrees of freedom are considered in each node: 3 translations (<em>u</em><sub>x</sub>, <em>u</em><sub>y</sub>, <em>u</em><sub>z</sub>) and 3 rotations (<em>φ</em><sub>x</sub>, <em>φ</em><sub>y</sub>, <em>φ</em><sub>z</sub>). Deformations of the element are divided into the membrane and the flexural components.</p>\n<p>The formulation of the membrane behavior is based on the work by Ibrahimbegovic (1990). Rotations perpendicular to the plane of the element are considered. Complete 3D formulation of the element is provided. The out-of-plane shear deformations are considered in the formulation of the flexural behavior of an element based on Mindlin hypothesis. Our inhouse stabilised variant of Mindlin quad plate element with constat shear deforamtion along edge are applied. The elements are inspired by MITC4 elements; see Dvorkin (1984). The shell is divided into five integration layers through thickness of the plate at each integration point and plastic behavior is analyzed in each point. It is called Gauss–Lobatto integration. The nonlinear elastic-plastic stage of material is analyzed in each layer based on the known strains. Only the maximum stresses and strains of all layers are shown.</p>\n<h4>Mesh convergence</h4>\n<p>There are some criteria for the mesh generation in the connection model. The connection check should be independent of the element size. Mesh generation on a separate plate is problem-free. Attention should be paid to complex geometries such as stiffened panels, T-stubs, and base plates. The sensitivity analysis considering mesh discretization should be performed for complicated geometries.</p>\n<p>All plates of a beam cross-section have a common division into elements. The size of generated finite elements is limited. The minimal element size is set to 10 mm and the maximal element size to 50 mm (can be set in Code setup). Meshes on flanges and webs are independent of each other. The default number of finite elements is set to 8 elements per cross-section height as shown in the following figure. The user can modify the default values in Code setup.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"56b04327-298f-4d82-9f7d-0c066664772c\" data-image-id=\"56b04327-298f-4d82-9f7d-0c066664772c\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/82635179-c288-44ba-bf8d-c12b80a32766/Structural%20design%20of%20a%20steel%20connection%20-%20Plate%20model%20and%20mesh%20convergence.png\" data-asset-id=\"56b04327-298f-4d82-9f7d-0c066664772c\" data-image-id=\"56b04327-298f-4d82-9f7d-0c066664772c\" alt=\"IDEA StatiCa Connection theoretical background for the advanced structural design of steel connections.

"value": "<p>There exist several options for how to treat welds in numerical models. The large deformations make the mechanical analysis more complex, and it is possible to use different mesh descriptions, different kinetic and kinematic variables, and constitutive models. The different types of geometric 2D and 3D models and thereby finite elements with their applicability for different accuracy levels are generally used. The most often used material model is the common rate-independent plasticity model based on the von Mises yield criterion. Two approaches that are used for welds are described. Residual stress and deformation caused by welding are not assumed in the design model.</p>\n<p>The load is transmitted through force-deformation constraints based on the Lagrangian formulation to the opposite plate. The connection is called multi-point constraint (MPC) and relates the finite element nodes of one plate edge to another. The finite element nodes are not connected directly. The advantage of this approach is the ability to connect meshes with different densities. The constraint allows modeling the midline surface of the connected plates with the offset, which respects the real weld configuration and throat thickness. The load distribution in the weld is derived from the MPC, so the stresses are calculated in the throat section. This is important for the stress distribution in the plate under the weld and for modeling of T-stubs.</p>\n<h4>Plastic stress redistribution in welds</h4>\n<p>The model with only multi-point constraints does not respect the stiffness of the weld, and the stress distribution is conservative. Stress peaks that appear at the end of plate edges, in corners, and rounding, govern the resistance along the whole length of the weld. To eliminate the effect, a special elastoplastic element is added between the plates. The element respects the weld throat thickness, position, and orientation. The equivalent weld solid is inserted with the corresponding weld dimensions. The nonlinear material analysis is applied, and elastoplastic behavior in equivalent weld solid is determined. The plasticity state is controlled by stresses in the weld throat section. The stress peaks are redistributed along the longer part of the weld length.</p>\n<p>The elastoplastic model of welds gives real values of stress, and there is no need to average or interpolate the stress. Calculated values at the most stressed weld element are used directly for checks of the weld component. This way, there is no need to reduce the resistance of multi-oriented welds, welds to unstiffened flanges, or long welds.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" data-image-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0bd27c97-ebab-4887-9fc1-d9027cdf3df8/Structural%20design%20of%20a%20steel%20connection%20-%20Welds.png\" data-asset-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" data-image-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" alt=\"IDEA StatiCa Connection theoretical background for the advanced structural design of steel connections.

"value": "<p>It's interesting how different approaches to the same structure we could find throughout the regions, companies, or even between different designers. While some would weld everything together without thinking about a single bolt, others would cut the structure into several parts and connect everything together with dozens of bolts. Both approaches to connecting the structural members have their pros and cons. </p>\n<p>Purely welded connections are stiffer than bolted connections and are thus considered to be safer or can reduce deflections. But then some experienced (meaning expensive) welder has to be somewhere on site, safely hanged in the space, often in inhospitable weather. The weld quality checks are sometimes not even possible, and the less precise work brings obviously higher material costs.</p>\n<p>The workshop welding on the other hand may be more precise, it also requires transporting to the site. And onsite welding is often expensive in implementation and over-usage of welding materials. Read on to learn which approach best suits your projects.</p>\n<p>You already know that IDEA StatiCa can help you calculate not only the stiffness of the weld connections but also estimate the costs of the connection depending on the weld type, etc. That is not something new under the sun. <a data-item-id=\"dc6882ef-317b-417a-b684-943901355f3d\" href=\"\">You can read one of our articles about the connection cost calculation</a>. </p>\n<p>But we also believe that connection designs should be as precise as possible while securing sufficient connection resistance. And one of our features can help you exactly with this. </p>\n<h2>Designing contact between column and base plate</h2>\n<p>Imagine you need to design a steel column welded to its base plate. The load must be transferred from the upper structure to the foundations. In certain countries, it is possible to include the contact between the column and its base plate when evaluating the compressive strength of the connection.</p>\n<p>In most standards, such as Eurocode, the load is assumed to flow through the welds only. Therefore, the welds must be designed so that they resist the full compressive force from the structure above. Nevertheless, you can imagine that there exists a certain contact between the base of the column and its baseplate even before these two are welded together.</p>\n<p>In some regions, the technical guides allow taking this contact into account when evaluating the compressive resistance. Of course, there are certain criteria to be fulfilled so that it is permitted to use this approach. Then, the contact brings an additional resistance to the compressive strength of the base weld which leads to a more economical design of the welds.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"eb79d5c6-d879-4afb-a5c1-5df03982810a\" data-image-id=\"eb79d5c6-d879-4afb-a5c1-5df03982810a\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2a16ecdf-f660-47b6-bb32-9b9aeecf3314/6.png\" data-asset-id=\"eb79d5c6-d879-4afb-a5c1-5df03982810a\" data-image-id=\"eb79d5c6-d879-4afb-a5c1-5df03982810a\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The <a data-item-id=\"68076977-c9aa-4fa5-b726-09433e204c2b\" href=\"\">model of the weld</a> will then be set to have high stiffness. Once it starts to yield (i.e. to deform plastically), the contact is activated and the compression is taken by the contact. This leads to significant values of the stress in the weld even if the contact is applied. However, importantly, the resistance of the weld in shear is not decreased. The weld is not checked in compression anymore as this is taken by the contact but the tension and shear are still assigned to the weld and the appropriate checks are conducted.</p>\n<p>Practically speaking, you will add a contact <strong>and</strong> a weld on the appropriate edges of the member (the column in this instance) at the same time. From the load transfer perspective, the contact will be effective in compression only while the welds will transfer shear and tension forces. Both operations are available under the “Weld or contact” manufacturing operation.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"29614fc0-aa03-499c-b343-7c518253d397\" data-image-id=\"29614fc0-aa03-499c-b343-7c518253d397\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/d7f5114a-1fcd-4da4-9496-44a11d412653/1.png\" data-asset-id=\"29614fc0-aa03-499c-b343-7c518253d397\" data-image-id=\"29614fc0-aa03-499c-b343-7c518253d397\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>This is what you will see in IDEA StatiCa Connection:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>A red line representing the compressive contact is combined with a yellow line used to indicate the welds (when the transparent view is activated)</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"9a6d9cfe-6a47-4004-ac16-16dc15eadf5d\" data-image-id=\"9a6d9cfe-6a47-4004-ac16-16dc15eadf5d\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/6af8d357-08a5-4696-bc89-3f5b3938463a/5.png\" data-asset-id=\"9a6d9cfe-6a47-4004-ac16-16dc15eadf5d\" data-image-id=\"9a6d9cfe-6a47-4004-ac16-16dc15eadf5d\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<ul>\n <li>In the results and reports, a down-facing arrow has been added next to the rectangle symbol of the fillet weld</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"49e646c3-621b-4946-98c5-3330d6b697dc\" data-image-id=\"49e646c3-621b-4946-98c5-3330d6b697dc\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/40b0ff4a-152f-4245-af7e-7424793620db/7.png\" data-asset-id=\"49e646c3-621b-4946-98c5-3330d6b697dc\" data-image-id=\"49e646c3-621b-4946-98c5-3330d6b697dc\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>You can apply any type of fillet weld in combination with the contact (i.e. continuous, partial, or intermittent).

The bolt model used in CBFEM is described and verified to several steel design codes. The load resistance and deformation capacity are also compared to the main experimental research programs.</p>\n<p>In the Component-Based Finite Element Method (CBFEM), bolt with its behavior in tension, shear, and bearing is the component described by the dependent nonlinear springs. The bolt in tension is described by spring with its axial initial stiffness, design resistance, initialization of yielding, and deformation capacity. For the initialization of yielding and deformation capacity, it is assumed that plastic deformation occurs in the threaded part of the bolt shank only.</p>\n<p>In our Theoretical background, you can find <a data-item-id=\"c2cc67f3-4000-4959-a195-b28becf63f2a\" href=\"\">more information on how the CBFEM method describes and verifies bolts</a>.

So far, IDEA StatiCa supports eight design codes where design and/or detailing of bolts and preloaded bolts are being solved. </p>\n<h3>Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to Eurocode</h3>\n<p>The initial stiffness and design resistance of bolts in shear are in CBFEM modeled according to Cl. 3.6 and 6.3.2 in EN 1993-1-8. The spring representing bearing and tension has a bi-linear force-deformation behavior with an initial stiffness and design resistance according to Cl. 3.6 and 6.3.2 in EN 1993-1-8.</p>\n<p><strong>Detailing </strong></p>\n<p>Checks of bolts is performed if the option is selected in Code setup. Dimensions from bolt center to plate edges and between bolts are checked. Edge distance <em>e</em> = 1.2 and spacing between bolts <em>p</em> = 2.2 are recommended in Table 3.3 in EN 1993-1-8. Users can modify both values in the Code setup.</p>\n<h3>Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to AISC</h3>\n<p>The forces in bolts are determined by finite element analysis. The tensile forces include prying forces. The bolt resistances are checked according to AISC 360 - Chapter J3.</p>\n<p><strong>Detailing </strong></p>\n<p>The minimum spacing between bolts and distance to the bolt center to an edge of a connected part is checked. The minimum spacing 2.66 times (editable in Code setup) the nominal bolt diameter between centers of bolts is checked according to AISC 360-16 – J.3.3. The minimum distance to the bolt center to an edge of a connected part is checked according to AISC 360-16 – J.3.4; the values are in Table J3.4 and J3.4M.</p>\n<h3>Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to other standards</h3>\n<ul>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-and-preloaded-bolts-according-to-cisc\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to CISC (Canada)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-and-preloaded-bolts-according-to-chinese-standard\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to Chinese standard (GB)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-according-to-hong-kong-code\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts according to Hong Kong Code (HKG)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-according-to-is-800\">Check of preloaded bolts according to IS 800 (India)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-and-preloaded-bolts-according-to-sp\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to SP (Russia)</a></li>\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-bolts-and-preloaded-bolts-according-to-as\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check of bolts and preloaded bolts according to AS (Australia)</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Bolt detailing </h2>\n<p><strong>How to set the distances</strong></p>\n<p>Edge distances used for bolt bearing resistance must be relevant for general plate geometries, plates with openings, cutouts, etc.</p>\n<p>The algorithm reads the real direction of the resulting shear force vector in a given bolt and then calculates the distances needed for the bearing check.</p>\n<p>The end (<em>e</em><sub>1</sub>) and edge (<em>e</em><sub>2</sub>) distances are determined by dividing the plate contour into three segments. The end segment is indicated by a 60° range in the direction of the force vector. The edge segments are defined by two 65° ranges perpendicular to the force vector.

The weld model used in <a data-item-id=\"6e068636-6a02-5d0e-89ad-6dcff4e21151\" href=\"\">CBFEM</a> is described and verified to several steel design codes. The load resistance and deformation capacity are also compared to the main experimental research programs.</p>\n<p>There are several options on how to treat welds in numerical models. The large deformations make the mechanical analysis more complex and it is possible to use different mesh descriptions, different kinetic and kinematic variables, and constitutive models. Generally, different types of geometric 2D and 3D models and thereby finite elements with their applicability for different accuracy levels are used. The most often applied material model is the common rate-independent plasticity model based on <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Mises_yield_criterion\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">von Mises yield criterion</a>. Residual stress and deformation caused by welding are not assumed in the design model.</p>\n<p>The load is transmitted through force-deformation constraints based on the Lagrangian formulation to the opposite plate. The connection is called multi-point constraint (MPC) and relates the finite element nodes of one plate edge to another edge or surface. The finite element nodes are not connected directly. The advantage of this approach is the ability to connect meshes with different densities. The constraint allows to model midline surface of the connected plates with the offset, which respects the real weld configuration and throat thickness. The load distribution in the weld is derived from the MPC, so the stresses are calculated in the throat section. This is important for the stress distribution in the plate under the weld and for modeling of T-stubs.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" data-image-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0bd27c97-ebab-4887-9fc1-d9027cdf3df8/Structural%20design%20of%20a%20steel%20connection%20-%20Welds.png\" data-asset-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" data-image-id=\"4a260917-112f-4e2a-9d28-8da1b16a76df\" alt=\"IDEA StatiCa Connection theoretical background for the advanced structural design of steel connections.

The validity of results is shown on a set of examples for each design code. The finite element model is being generated automatically, which is a great advantage to general FEM programs. Recently, several improvements were added to speed up the connection import process from CAD software.</p>\n<p>Welds are a great way to assemble steel connections but engineers need an accurate and fast tool for their design and code-check. That is why to use IDEA StatiCa in your projects. </p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n2a3bd364_53ec_01d9_4480_103be7b196bf\"></object>\n<p>If you want to improve your connection design skills, why not try our <a data-item-id=\"3e6d7716-0c0c-4aa5-b3f1-bbc0bededcbc\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Campus</a> online training?</p>"

"value": "<h4>Design model</h4>\n<p>In CBFEM, it is convenient to simplify the concrete block as 2D contact elements. The connection between the concrete and the base plate resists in compression only. Compression is transferred via the Winkler-Pasternak subsoil model, representing deformations of the concrete block. The tension force between the base plate and concrete block is carried by the anchor bolts. The shear force is transferred by friction between a base plate and a concrete block, by shear key and by bending of anchor bolts and friction. The resistance of bolts in shear is assessed analytically. Friction and shear key are modeled as a full single point constraint in the plane of the base plate – concrete contact.</p>\n<h4>Deformation stiffness</h4>\n<p>The stiffness of the concrete block may be predicted for the design of column bases as an elastic hemisphere. A Winkler-Pasternak subsoil model is commonly used for a simplified calculation of foundations. The stiffness of subsoil is determined using modulus of elasticity of concrete and the effective height of a subsoil as:</p>\n<p>\\[ k = \\frac{E_c}{(\\alpha_1 + \\upsilon) \\sqrt{\\frac{A_{eff}}{A_{ref}}}} \\left( \\frac{1}{\\frac{h}{a_2 d} + a_3}+a_4 \\right) \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>k</em> – stiffness of concrete subsoil in compression</li>\n <li><em>E</em><sub>c</sub> – modulus of elasticity of concrete</li>\n <li><em>υ</em> – Poisson's coefficient of the concrete block</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>eff</sub> – effective area in compression</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>ref</sub> = 1 m<sup>2</sup> – reference area</li>\n <li><em>d</em> – base plate width</li>\n <li><em>h</em> – concrete block height</li>\n <li><em>a</em><sub>1</sub> = 1.65; <em>a</em><sub>2</sub> = 0.5; <em>a</em><sub>3</sub> = 0.3; <em>a</em><sub>4</sub> = 1.0 – coefficients</li>\n</ul>\n<p>SI units must be used in the formula, the resulting unit is N/m<sup>3</sup>.</p>\n<h3>Transfer of shear load at the base plate</h3>\n<p>The shear load at the base plate can be transferred by three means:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Friction</li>\n <li>Shear lug</li>\n <li>Anchors</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Users can choose the mean by editing the base plate operation. No combination of means is allowed in the software, however, EN 1993-1-8 – Cl. 6.2.2 and Fib 58 – Chapter 4.2 allows for the combination of shear transfer by anchors and friction under certain conditions. In general, it is conservative to neglect friction in the anchorage design, although it may in some cases lead to an underestimation of concrete cracking at the serviceability level. As a rule, frictional resistance should be neglected if:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>the thickness of the grout layer exceeds one-half the anchor diameter,</li>\n <li>the anchorage capacity is governed by a near-edge condition,</li>\n <li>the anchorage is intended to resist earthquake loads.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The combination with a shear lug should never be allowed due to the deformation compatibility.</p>\n<h4>Transfer of shear load by friction</h4>\n<p>The shear resistance equals the resistance safety factor multiplied by friction coefficient editable in Code setup and compressive load. The compressive load includes all forces, e.g. in case of a column base loaded by compressive force and bending moment, the compressive load used for frictional shear resistance might be higher than the applied compressive force.</p>\n<h4>Transfer of shear load by shear lug</h4>\n<p>The shear lug is simulated as a stub encased in concrete under the base plate. The shear load is estimated to be transferred by uniform load distribution acting on the whole portion of the shear lug embedded in the concrete block, i.e. all nodes of the shear lug below the concrete surface are uniformly loaded. The portion of the shear lug above the concrete surface in grout is not assumed to transfer the shear load.</p>\n<p>Be aware that the lever arm between the applied shear load (at the base plate) and the shear resistance (half-height of the shear lug embedded in concrete) causes a bending moment which must be transferred by compressive force in concrete and tensile forces in anchors.</p>\n<p>The shear lug consists of shell finite elements and is checked as regular plates. Also, the welds of the shear lug to the base plate are checked using standard procedures in <a data-item-id=\"b0a659df-8f92-4d1f-abb6-2efa02bad946\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Connection</a>. Manual calculation usually assumes beam theory for the shear lug, although it is not accurate because the length to width ratio is very small for shear lug. Therefore, there might be a significant difference between IDEA StatiCa Connection and manual calculation.</p>\n<h4>Transfer of shear load by anchors</h4>\n<p>The shear resistance is determined by the shear resistance of anchors. The steel resistance of anchors have elastoplastic load-deformation curve, but the concrete failure modes are considered as perfectly brittle.</p>"

This approach is specifically intended for scenarios where the base plate is perpendicular to the anchored member. When using this operation, anchors are generated automatically. Additionally, the shape of the base plate can be customized in the <strong>Editor</strong>, allowing modifications such as creating base plates with <strong>round edges</strong> to suit specific design needs and specifying <strong>slotted holes</strong> for anchors. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"4fcf31c7-5a06-4d65-a726-5c9dba9ae6ac\" data-image-id=\"4fcf31c7-5a06-4d65-a726-5c9dba9ae6ac\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/cbe53c8a-1766-48c4-985f-cb88e9baa492/Base%20plate%20operation.png\" data-asset-id=\"4fcf31c7-5a06-4d65-a726-5c9dba9ae6ac\" data-image-id=\"4fcf31c7-5a06-4d65-a726-5c9dba9ae6ac\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"292edc1f-9da4-421d-bf45-904209180666\" data-image-id=\"292edc1f-9da4-421d-bf45-904209180666\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/8bc894ba-a42e-4cbc-926a-88e8e59ac46b/Slotted%20holes.png\" data-asset-id=\"292edc1f-9da4-421d-bf45-904209180666\" data-image-id=\"292edc1f-9da4-421d-bf45-904209180666\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>For situations where the base plate is not perpendicular to the anchored member, the modeling process requires a different approach. In these cases, you must use the <strong>Stiffening plate</strong> operation to model the base plate and the <strong>Fastener grid</strong> <strong>or Contact</strong> operation to define the anchors. The stiffening plate is positioned in the required angle and location, and the fastener grid must be adjusted to the <strong>Anchor</strong> type. Then the number of connected items is changed to one and the the stiffening plate is defined as the selected item. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1ad41d64-a5d9-4feb-92dc-c5fa82b12301\" data-image-id=\"1ad41d64-a5d9-4feb-92dc-c5fa82b12301\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/baf203cd-0ec4-4252-92cf-bb4fb347eaf5/Stiffening%20plate%20as%20base%20plate.png\" data-asset-id=\"1ad41d64-a5d9-4feb-92dc-c5fa82b12301\" data-image-id=\"1ad41d64-a5d9-4feb-92dc-c5fa82b12301\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>In cases when the connection is already modeled in CAD software, you can import anchoring design using <a data-item-id=\"48d2251b-1818-4c19-bfa8-f89955c2e64a\" href=\"\">BIM links</a>.</p>\n<h4>Example of general anchoring using the stiffening plate</h4>\n<p>Watch the recording to learn how to design a custom vertical base plate of balcony railing into a concrete slab. </p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n9981410d_1a2b_012c_bc0e_923bc19fa0fb\"></object>\n<h3>Concrete block</h3>\n<p>The <a data-item-id=\"f697f64f-a1d7-4bce-8b21-0e61ad5c4abe\" href=\"\">concrete foundation</a> is limited to a rectangular shape, but its dimensions can be adjusted using offset values for each edge.

"value": "<p>Concrete below the base plate is simulated by the Winkler subsoil with uniform stiffness, which provides the contact stresses. The average stress at the effective area determined by EN 1993-1-8 is used for compressive check.</p>\n<p>The resistance of concrete in 3D compression is determined based on EN 1993-1-8 by calculating the design bearing strength of concrete in the joint, <em>f</em><sub>jd</sub>, under the effective area, <em>A</em><sub>eff</sub>, of the base plate. The design bearing strength of the joint, <em>f</em><sub>jd</sub>, is evaluated according to Cl. 6.2.5 in EN 1993-1-8 and Cl. 6.7 in EN 1992-1-1. The grout quality and thickness is introduced by the joint coefficient, <em>β</em><sub>jd</sub>. For grout quality equal or better than the quality of the concrete block, <em>β</em><sub>jd</sub> = 1.0 is expected, EN 1993-1-8 recommends value <em>β</em><sub>jd</sub> = 0.67. The effective area, <em>A</em><sub>eff,cm</sub> under the base plate is estimated to be of the shape of the column cross-section increased by additional bearing width, <em>c</em>.</p>\n<p>\\[ c = t \\sqrt{\\frac{f_y}{3 f_{jd} \\gamma_{M0}}} \\]</p>\n<p>where <em>t</em> is the thickness of the base plate, <em>f</em><sub>y</sub> is the base plate yield strength, and <em>γ</em><sub>M0</sub> is the partial safety factor for steel.</p>\n<p>The effective area is calculated by iteration until the difference between the additional bearing widths of current and previous iteration |<em>c</em><sub>i</sub> – <em>c</em><sub>i–1</sub> | is less than 1 mm. For the first iteration, the area of the base plate is assumed as a bearing area, <em>A</em><sub>c0</sub>.</p>\n<p>The area where the concrete is in compression is taken from results of FEA. This area in compression, <em>A</em><sub>eff,FEM</sub>, allows determining the position of the neutral axis. The user can modify this area by editing “Effective area – influence of mesh size” in Code setup. The default value is 0.1 for which the verification studies were made. It is not recommended to decrease this value. Increasing this value makes the assessment of concrete bearing resistance safer. The value in Code setup determines the boundary of the area, <em>A</em><sub>eff,FEM</sub>, e.g. the value of 0.1 takes into account only areas where stress in concrete is higher than 0.1 times the maximum stress in concrete, <em>σ</em><sub>c,max</sub>. The intersection of the area in compression, <em>A</em><sub>eff,FEM</sub>, and the effective area, <em>A</em><sub>eff,cm</sub>, allows to assess the resistance for generally loaded column base of any column shape with any stiffeners and is labeled <em>A</em><sub>eff</sub>.

However, this formula only applies to bolts in a normal (steel-steel) connection and not to anchors in a column base plate connection. When checking the shear resistance of the anchor, a tensile force in the bolt equal to the resistance to yielding was already taken into account; see Eq. 6.2 of Cl. 6.2.2 (7) of EN 1993-1-8. The actual tensile stress that occurs in the anchor is therefore not relevant. This calculation method is based on tests carried out at the TU Delft. These calculation rules from the Eurocode are identical to the calculation rules from the TGB series. The explanation of the calculation rule is included in NEN 6772 but not in EN 1993-1-8. For column base plate connections, it is therefore sufficient to only carry out the separate checks for tension and shear.</em></p>\n<h4>Interaction of tension and shear in steel (EN 1992-4 – Table 7.3)</h4>\n<p>The interaction of tension and shear for <strong>post-installed fasteners</strong> is determined separately for steel and concrete failure modes according to Table 7.3.

The interaction in steel is checked for each anchor separately.</p>\n<p>\\[ \\left ( \\frac{N_{Ed}}{N_{Rd,s}} \\right )^2 + \\left ( \\frac{V_{Ed}}{V_{Rd,s}} \\right )^2 \\le 1.0 \\]</p>\n<h4>Interaction of tension and shear in concrete</h4>\n<p> Interaction in concrete is checked according to Equation (7.55).</p>\n<p>\\[ \\left ( \\frac{N_{Ed}}{N_{Rd,i}} \\right )^{1.5} + \\left ( \\frac{V_{Ed}}{V_{Rd,i}} \\right )^{1.5} \\le 1.0 \\]</p>\n<p>The largest value of \\(N_{Ed} / N_{Rd,i} \\) and \\(V_{Ed} / V_{Rd,i} \\) for the different failure modes shall be taken. Note that values of \\(N_{Ed}\\) and \\(N_{Rd,i}\\) often belong to a group of anchors.</p>\n<h3>Anchors with stand-off</h3>\n<p>An anchor with stand-off is designed as a bar element loaded by shear force, bending moment, and compressive or tensile force. These internal forces are determined by the finite element model. The anchor is fixed on both sides, one side is 0.5×<em>d</em> below the concrete level, and the other side is in the middle of the thickness of the plate. The buckling length is conservatively assumed as twice the length of the bar element. Plastic section modulus is used. The bar element is designed according to EN 1993-1-1. The shear force may decrease the yield strength of the steel according to Cl. 6.2.8 but the minimum length of the anchor to fit the nut under the base plate ensures that the anchor fails in bending before the shear force reaches half the shear resistance. The reduction is therefore not necessary. The interaction of bending moment and compressive or tensile strength is assessed according to Cl. 6.2.1.</p>\n<h4>Shear resistance (EN 1993-1-1 Cl. 6.2.6):</h4>\n<p>\\[ V_{pl,Rd} = \\frac{A_V f_y / \\sqrt{3}}{\\gamma_{M2}} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>V</sub> = 0.844 <em>A</em><sub>s</sub> – shear area</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>s</sub> – bolt area reduced by threads</li>\n <li><em>f</em><sub>y</sub> – bolt yield strength</li>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>M2</sub> – partial safety factor</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>Tensile resistance (EN 1993-1-8 – Cl. 3.6.1):</h4>\n<p>\\[ F_{t,Rd}=\\frac{c k_2 f_{ub} A_s}{\\gamma_{M2}} \\ge F_t \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>c</em> – decrease in tensile resistance of bolts with cut thread according to EN 1993-1-8 – Cl. 3.6.1.

On the other hand, preloading brings extra demands for safety and code-compliance."

"value": "<p>The load resistance of slender components may be determined by a combination of linear buckling analysis and materially nonlinear analysis.</p>\n<p>There are five categories of finite element structural analysis with the following assumptions:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Linear material, geometrically linear</li>\n <li>Nonlinear material, geometrically linear</li>\n <li>Linear material, linear loss of stability – buckling</li>\n <li>Linear material, geometrically nonlinear using imperfections</li>\n <li>Nonlinear material, geometrically nonlinear using imperfections</li>\n</ol>\n<p>A design procedure that combines approaches 2 and 3 – material nonlinearity and stability analysis – is mentioned in Chapter 8 of EN 1993-1-6. The verification of buckling resistance based on the obtained FEM results is described in Annex B of EN 1993-1-5. This procedure is used for a wide range of structures except for very slender shells, where geometrically nonlinear analysis with initial imperfections is more suitable (4 and 5).</p>\n<p>The procedure uses load amplifiers <em>α,</em> which are obtained as the results of FEM analysis and allow to predict of the post-buckling resistance of the joints.</p>\n<p>The load coefficient, <em>α</em><sub>ult,k</sub>, is determined by reaching the plastic capacity without considering the geometrical nonlinearity. The check of plastic capacity and the general automatic determination of <em>α</em><sub>ult,k</sub> is implemented into the developed software.</p>\n<p>The critical buckling factor, <em>α</em><sub>cr</sub>, is determined, which is obtained using FEM analysis of linear stability. It is determined automatically in the software using the same FEM model as for the calculation of <em>α</em><sub>ult,k</sub>. It should be noted that the critical point in terms of plastic resistance is not necessarily assessed in the first critical buckling mode. More buckling modes need to be assessed in a complex joint because they are related to different parts of the joint.</p>\n<p>The non-dimensional plate slenderness, \\( \\bar \\lambda_p \\), of the examined buckling mode is determined:</p>\n<p>\\[ \\bar \\lambda_p = \\sqrt{\\frac{\\alpha_{ult,k}}{\\alpha_{cr}}} \\]</p>\n<p>The reduction buckling factor <em>ρ</em> is determined according to Annex B of EN 1993-1-5. The reduction factor depends on the plate slenderness. The used buckling curve shows the influence of the reduction factor on the plate slenderness. The provided buckling factor applicable to non-uniform members is based on the buckling curves of a beam. The verification is based on the von Mises yield criterion and the reduced stress method. Buckling resistance is assessed as</p>\n<p>\\[ \\frac{\\alpha_{ult,k} \\rho}{\\gamma_{M2}} \\ge 1 \\]</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"61037866-4396-4b88-9274-d398651553ee\" data-image-id=\"61037866-4396-4b88-9274-d398651553ee\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/726480bf-8bb6-4215-b469-1cdb3abcc0ff/buckling.png\" data-asset-id=\"61037866-4396-4b88-9274-d398651553ee\" data-image-id=\"61037866-4396-4b88-9274-d398651553ee\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Buckling reduction factor ρ according to EN 1993-1-5 Annex B</em></p>\n<p>Although the process seems trivial, it is general, robust, and easily automated. The advantage of the procedure is the advanced FEM analysis of the whole joint, which can be applied to general geometry. Moreover, it is included in the valid Eurocode standards. The advanced numerical analysis gives a quick overview of the global behavior of the structure and its critical parts and allows fast stiffening to prevent instabilities.</p>\n<p>The limit slenderness, <em>λ</em><sub>p</sub>, is provided in Annex B of EN 1993-1-5 and sets all cases which must be assessed according to the previous procedure. The resistance is limited by buckling for plate slenderness higher than 0.7. With the decreasing slenderness, the resistance is governed by plastic strain. The limit critical buckling factor for plate slenderness equals to 0.7, and buckling resistance equal to the plastic resistance may be obtained as follows</p>\n<p>\\[ \\alpha_{cr} = \\frac{\\alpha_{ult,k}}{\\bar \\lambda_p^2} = \\frac{1}{0.7^2} = 2.04 \\]</p>\n<p>The influence of the plate slenderness on the plastic resistance, <em>M</em><sub>ult,k</sub>, and buckling resistance, <em>M</em><sub>CBFEM</sub>, is shown in the figure below.

These templates are designed to be universally applicable, providing a solid foundation for a wide range of projects.</li>\n <li><strong>Parametric customization</strong>: Through the Developer tab, users can define specific parameters for each template, allowing for a high degree of customization and flexibility in design.</li>\n <li><strong>Template identification</strong>: Parametric templates are easily identifiable by the symbol {p}, ensuring that users can quickly recognize and select them for their projects.</li>\n <li><strong>Enhanced library filtering</strong>: The filter in the Propose window of the Connection Library enables users to efficiently find parametric templates among the library's extensive offering.</li>\n <li><strong>Publication control</strong>: When a connection contains parameters, designers have the option to publish these parametric templates to the Connection Library. This feature offers flexibility in sharing customized templates with the broader user community or keeping them private for individual or internal use.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Impact on workflow</h2>\n<p>The inclusion of parametric templates in the Connection Library represents a significant advancement in the design process for connection designers. This functionality simplifies the design process by providing:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Efficiency</strong>: The use of templates speeds up the design phase, allowing for quicker iterations and modifications.</li>\n <li><strong>Consistency</strong>: Parametric templates ensure design consistency across projects, which is crucial for maintaining standards and quality.</li>\n <li><strong>Collaboration</strong>: The ability to share customized templates enhances collaboration among teams and with the wider design community.</li>\n <li><strong>Customization</strong>: Designers can tailor templates to specific project requirements, enhancing design accuracy and effectiveness.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><em>Released in </em><a data-item-id=\"52afe115-4e0f-4c6a-be42-e82757fdb937\" href=\"\"><em>IDEA StatiCa patch 23.1.5</em></a>.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n421fe254_57b7_01cd_2bc3_0af215b956fb\"></object>\n<h2>Default control sets in the Operations</h2>\n<p>The design of a connection by parameters consists of the setting of very unique parameters specific for every single connection type on one hand. On the other hand, there are parameters that are used almost always due to common engineering practices, such as a set of welds, fasteners, and materials.</p>\n<p>To simplify the creation of parametric templates and to reach this setting anytime, we include these controls as default sets in the operation root.</p>\n<p>When you select Operations, there are, by default, the following settings:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Weld setting: <strong>Weld sizing method</strong> and weld <strong>Material</strong> (24.0.5)</li>\n <li>Bolt setting: <strong>Type</strong>, <strong>Shear plane in thread,</strong> and <strong>Shear force transfer</strong> (24.1.0)</li>\n <li>Plates setting: <strong>Material </strong>(24.1.0)</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"2a3a3db4-b18c-4e2c-a09d-5774aa412487\" data-image-id=\"2a3a3db4-b18c-4e2c-a09d-5774aa412487\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/23570977-6342-4a3e-adc8-2563c3e0028f/common%20properties%201.png\" data-asset-id=\"2a3a3db4-b18c-4e2c-a09d-5774aa412487\" data-image-id=\"2a3a3db4-b18c-4e2c-a09d-5774aa412487\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>These controls set the specific property for the whole connection model to all operations and are shown in the Operations root by default. They do not change the properties of the structural members, only the manufacturing operations.</p>\n<p>In case any of the properties related to the control <strong>is used in any parameter</strong> of the parametric template, the control is automatically disabled. By this behavior, we prevent the possibility of influencing the same property from two places and, thus, ruining the connection detail by loops in parameters.</p>\n<p>As a benefit, these controls are also shown without a parametric template, enabling quick changes and unifying properties of any connection model.</p>\n<h2>What are the benefits?</h2>\n<ul>\n <li>For the <strong>parametric template user</strong> (e.g., junior user), all operations are disabled (read-only). However, <strong>changing the material, bolt class, or plate material</strong> is still a commonly expected action. Although, if there is a single parameter missing in the parametric template, it makes the template unusable. Common properties such as welds, bolts, and material can now be controlled in each parametric template using the default controls shown under the parameters.</li>\n <li>Adding these controls <strong>simplifies the work of the template creator</strong> (e.g., senior user) <strong>in preparing the parametric templates</strong>. Now, it is not necessary to manually create special parameters for modifying common properties such as welds, bolts, and materials.</li>\n <li>Sometimes, you want to <strong>unify bolt grades or plates and weld material</strong> in the whole connection detail even when the <strong>parametric template is not used</strong>. It can be easily done either by multi-selecting in the tree and editing operations of the same type (nevertheless, in this case, it has to be done multiple times for each group of operations separately), or it is now possible <strong>to change the requested property</strong> or just check if the same property is used <strong>in one click</strong>.</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"bb5a4e57-69fe-4255-b4f5-adb95bf8a794\" data-image-id=\"bb5a4e57-69fe-4255-b4f5-adb95bf8a794\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/937c9874-ecb7-4e00-ba25-790f70433722/common%20properties%202.png\" data-asset-id=\"bb5a4e57-69fe-4255-b4f5-adb95bf8a794\" data-image-id=\"bb5a4e57-69fe-4255-b4f5-adb95bf8a794\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Released in </em><a data-item-id=\"17d58b3b-ad50-4d8b-9be5-8c387010e618\" href=\"\"><em>IDEA StatiCa version 24.1</em></a><em>.</em></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n7727e059_a44c_01ce_bd96_40976a9aacc3\"></object>\n<h2>Improvements of the predefined set</h2>\n<p>Several enhancements have been made to <strong>parametric templates created via the Wizard</strong> to improve usability, clarity, and model consistency.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Validation messages have been refined, only functional and relevant messages are now displayed, such as incorrect member type, cross-section compatibility, or load definition issues.</li>\n <li>Message texts have also been rewritten for better readability and technical accuracy.</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"737a4cd3-cdfd-44d9-b4ef-6bdd0ed27699\" data-image-id=\"737a4cd3-cdfd-44d9-b4ef-6bdd0ed27699\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/ae6b21b1-c930-4ad9-859f-f1753f5d321a/25-1%20predefined%20set%202.png\" data-asset-id=\"737a4cd3-cdfd-44d9-b4ef-6bdd0ed27699\" data-image-id=\"737a4cd3-cdfd-44d9-b4ef-6bdd0ed27699\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<ul>\n <li>Templates now correctly retain <strong>cross-section data</strong> for cleats and stiffening members, ensuring accurate geometry generation.</li>\n <li><strong>Custom cross-sections (CSS) stored in the MPRL</strong> are included in templates and automatically applied to new models.</li>\n <li>A new <strong>Workplane operation method, Intersection</strong>, allows templates to be used for members ending in both X+ and X– directions within Checkbot, with adjustable offset and positioning on the near or far edge of the related member.</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"618d872c-8d91-4f63-98b3-d45e7e9c17e2\" data-image-id=\"618d872c-8d91-4f63-98b3-d45e7e9c17e2\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/6c417587-c02f-4a0b-933f-9a3c4071f6ac/25-1%20predefined%20set%203.png\" data-asset-id=\"618d872c-8d91-4f63-98b3-d45e7e9c17e2\" data-image-id=\"618d872c-8d91-4f63-98b3-d45e7e9c17e2\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Thanks to this new function, templates are applicable at both ends in the Checkkbot.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"dfb6b20b-9c5f-46b7-b003-b1ca968c6f89\" data-image-id=\"dfb6b20b-9c5f-46b7-b003-b1ca968c6f89\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/c3991f2a-98fe-4c99-a1b7-a6875607d42d/25-1%20predefined%20set%204.png\" data-asset-id=\"dfb6b20b-9c5f-46b7-b003-b1ca968c6f89\" data-image-id=\"dfb6b20b-9c5f-46b7-b003-b1ca968c6f89\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Parametric templates can also be <a data-item-id=\"e8d3e9e8-0671-460a-bc80-22eb894538ca\" href=\"\">combined with each other or with standard manufacturing operations</a>.</p>\n<p><em>Released in </em><a data-item-id=\"44b90fbb-8348-4643-8966-823b2c71587b\" href=\"\"><em>IDEA StatiCa version 25.1</em></a><em>.</em></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"link\" data-codename=\"untitled_content_item_1085ffa\"></object>"

Often you have to sit down with your colleagues with a pencil and paper to sketch out various possibilities for a column-to-beam connection that looked soooo simple at first glance. </p>\n<p>And here the discussion started: </p>\n<p> \"We've always done it that way.\"</p>\n<p> \"This connection would be too expensive.\"</p>\n<p> \"You can't add bolts here. Welding there would be a much better option\".</p>\n<p> \"It should be rather semi-rigid than rigid.\"</p>\n<p>And then, you start searching for inspiration on how to solve such a connection safely and efficiently. First, within your office with your colleagues, then you start browsing and exploring your past projects. </p>\n<p>Somebody has to solve a similar issue before, right? </p>\n<p>And this is where IDEA StatiCa comes in. </p>\n<h2>Connection Library at your service</h2>\n<p><a data-item-id=\"d462d4fd-c84f-4b3b-8111-c248b270291b\" href=\"\"><strong>Connection Library</strong></a><strong> is a cloud application that provides you with 400,000+ ideas for your connection designs</strong> from all around the world. Saying that, it is by far the world's largest database of steel connections. Available just at your fingertips. And for free... </p>\n<p>With the Connection Library, you can browse examples matching your project and <strong>find inspiration in seconds</strong>! </p>\n<p><strong>The use is pretty easy, just like 1-2-3. </strong></p>\n<h4>1. Define the geometry of your model</h4>\n<p>The whole database is segmented and filterable by a smart system of connection geometries. What does it mean? Using a few setting parameters, you can model your connection members quickly with a predefined set of cross-sections and filters. </p>\n<p>You can play with members, add them or remove, rotate, or adjust them. For each of them, you can select from 8 different types of cross-sections + one general, in case you are not sure yet. </p>\n<p> Do you need to add a hollow section? No problem! </p>\n<p> Did you say \"rectangular\"? Here you are! </p>\n<p> Change it to I-shape? Just click here. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"e1a658ae-4ba2-46d8-ba48-7f8c3a369520\" data-image-id=\"e1a658ae-4ba2-46d8-ba48-7f8c3a369520\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/6a3c1e2d-08d0-4c87-8802-396313c40d21/ConLib-step01-2.5x.gif\" data-asset-id=\"e1a658ae-4ba2-46d8-ba48-7f8c3a369520\" data-image-id=\"e1a658ae-4ba2-46d8-ba48-7f8c3a369520\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>By the way, if you are not sure about your solution yet or you want to see the rich inspiration for the most popular connection types, you can just click on one of the <strong>four preselected models</strong> in the bottom right corner. </p>\n<h4>2. Browse potential candidates</h4>\n<p>Based on your model settings, you can start browsing thousands of connections with the same geometry. Obviously, the more precisely specified geometry, the more accurate the offer of solutions would be. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"60697ce5-4c9f-4b1d-9253-cd19905778d1\" data-image-id=\"60697ce5-4c9f-4b1d-9253-cd19905778d1\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/971c4360-91a6-4b20-b3a5-1857f609ecec/connection-library-v0-03d.PNG\" data-asset-id=\"60697ce5-4c9f-4b1d-9253-cd19905778d1\" data-image-id=\"60697ce5-4c9f-4b1d-9253-cd19905778d1\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>If there are too many options, try to<strong> adjust filtering</strong>, refine your settings, or fine-tune connectors and features. </p>\n<p> Need only welded connections?

Explore details in a 3D view</h4>\n<p>The last step enables you to explore connection details and properties in the 3D view window. You can find similar connections and see how other engineers solved them. </p>\n<p><strong>To access the 3D view</strong>, <strong>you have to either have an IDEA StatiCa account</strong> already (you have the IDEA StatiCa desktop license, no matter if a commercial or free – educational or trial), or you can quickly <a data-item-id=\"0c872071-6a3f-4b99-8cd4-66440db9cc0d\" href=\"\">create a free account</a>, which allows you to explore the connection details.</p>\n<p>Besides the filter settings, you can also see according to which standard the connection had been designed. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"d9678bf1-23da-425d-8e76-561722b61b32\" data-image-id=\"d9678bf1-23da-425d-8e76-561722b61b32\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/06240ec5-08e5-46d4-8c3d-5d74f4353e21/connection-library-v1-04.PNG\" data-asset-id=\"d9678bf1-23da-425d-8e76-561722b61b32\" data-image-id=\"d9678bf1-23da-425d-8e76-561722b61b32\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>If you like the selected solution, get inspired, and you can try to model it in the IDEA StatiCa desktop app on your own.</p>\n<h2>Where are all these connections coming from?</h2>\n<p>As you can imagine, putting together such an extensive database of steel connections was not an easy task. </p>\n<p>Connection Library has been created by structural engineers for the global community of engineers, nurturing inspiration and simplifying their work, much like programmers share code for collective benefit.</p>\n<p>The <strong>Connection Library database comes from data gathered by another IDEA StatiCa cloud app called </strong><a data-item-id=\"509c9953-7d08-4da3-9b0e-1651eb8053ea\" href=\"\"><strong>Viewer</strong></a>, where engineers can share their project files. We took those connection designs, made them anonymous, and kept just the important bits like cross-sections, member geometry, and the building codes. No data from our desktop applications were used to build the Connection Library database.</p>\n<h2>Now it's your turn...</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://connectionlibrary.ideastatica.com/\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IDEA StatiCa Connection Library</a> is an (almost) endless source of inspiration for you. Take the plunge into testing, browse it, change geometries... Just do your best to find out what scenarios it can cover for you, your projects, and designs. </p>\n<p>Connection Library is a new tool, and as for every new project, <strong>we would love to hear your feedback</strong>. </p>\n<p>What do you like or dislike? How can it be improved, or what features should we add to it? Do you miss more advanced filtering? </p>\n<p>If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them with us via a <a href=\"https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/connection-library\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">simple survey form</a>, which you can find in the bottom right corner of the Connection Library screen. </p>\n<p>OK.

"value": "<h2>Introduction</h2>\n<p>When designing the structure to resist the seismic load case combination, the engineer must choose a concept:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Low dissipative structural behavior\n <ul>\n <li><em>q</em> = 1 to 2 (section class 4 → <em>q</em> = 1)</li>\n <li>No special requirements for steel structures</li>\n <li>Ductility class low (DCL)</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Dissipative structural behavior\n <ul>\n <li><em>q</em> ≤ 4 – Ductility class medium (DCM), section class 1, 2</li>\n <li><em>q</em> > 4 – Ductility class high (DCH), section class 1</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n</ul>\n<p>For low dissipative structural behavior, no special requirements are necessary, and usual connection checks are required. However, for high seismic loads, designing a structure resisting remaining in an elastic state is unfeasible, and dissipative structural behavior is necessary. The Member Capacity Design analysis in IDEA StatiCa Connection is meant for such behavior.</p>\n<p>Possible structural types of seismic resisting systems allowed in EN 1998-1 are:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Moment resisting frames (MRF)\n <ul>\n <li>plastic hinges at the ends of beams or in the connections of the beams to columns</li>\n <li>plastic hinges may also be:\n <ul>\n <li>at the column base</li>\n <li>at the top of the column in the upper floor</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Frames with concentric bracings (CBF):\n <ul>\n <li>dissipative zones are located in the diagonals in tension</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Frames with eccentric bracings (EBF):\n <ul>\n <li>dissipative zones in seismic links, mostly in beams</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Inverted pendulum structures</li>\n <li>Steel structures associated with concrete cores or concrete walls</li>\n <li>Dual frames made of moment-resisting frames combined with braced frames\n <ul>\n <li>MRF contributes > 25 % to total strength and stiffness</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li>Moment-resisting frames combined with reinforced concrete infills</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Determination of seismic load cases</h2>\n<p>Internal forces for seismic load combination may be determined by one of the following methods of structural seismic analysis:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Lateral force method</li>\n <li>Linear modal response spectrum analysis</li>\n <li>Nonlinear static pushover analysis</li>\n <li>Nonlinear time-history dynamic analysis</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Using linear modal response spectrum analysis causes internal forces to “lose signs” due to the method of square root of sum of squares (SRSS). The signs should be reobtained by the lateral force method – the joint in IDEA StatiCa must be in equilibrium. The seismic loads are in the accidental load combination, and the structure is analyzed. The joints are designed using standard Stress, strain analysis (EPS) in IDEA StatiCa Connection.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, non-dissipative members must be able to safely, without significant deformations, transfer forces necessary to create the plastic hinges in dissipative members. This additional check is performed in Member Capacity Design analysis (MC).</p>\n<h2>Capacity design</h2>\n<p>The objective of capacity design is to confirm a building undergoes controlled ductile behavior in order to avoid collapse in a design-level earthquake. This involves designing the structure to allow ductile failure at key predictable locations within the structure and to prevent other failure types occurring near these locations or elsewhere in the structure.</p>\n<p>In other words, in a structure that contains both brittle and ductile elements, capacity design is a method to provide the structure with an overall ductile characteristic.</p>\n<p>Some members are considered as dissipative and others non-dissipative. Connections are usually non-dissipative but in some cases may be dissipative. Dissipative elements are expected to undergo significant plastic deformations during seismic load case, the seismic energy may be depleted at these deformations, and the seismic load is therefore significantly lower. On the other hand, dissipative elements must be able to withstand the cyclic strains without any cracks, and all non-dissipative elements must be able to transfer the load induced by dissipative elements. To ensure the formation of plastic hinge in the dissipative member, the probable yield strength is used instead of nominal yield strength, and sometimes, especially for beams in MRFs, also strain-hardening is taken into account. Thus, the strength of dissipative members is taken as:</p>\n<p>\\(f_{y,max} = \\gamma_{sh} \\cdot \\gamma_{ov} \\cdot f_y \\) (EN)</p>\n<p>\\(F_{y,max}= C_{pr} \\cdot R_y \\cdot F_y \\) (AISC)</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>sh</sub> – strain-hardening factor, equal to 1.1 in EN 1998-1 and 1.2 in EN 1993-1-8; value 1.2 is recommended in ECCS manuals because it corresponds better to steel grades used for seismic applications; editable at dissipative element function</li>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>ov</sub> – overstrength factor, recommended value is 1.25; editable in materials</li>\n <li>\\(C_{pr} = \\frac{F_y + F_u}{2 \\cdot F_y}\\) – strain-hardening factor – AISC 358-16 (2.4-2); may be turned on or off at dissipative element function</li>\n <li><em>R</em><sub>y</sub> – ratio of probable to minimal yield strength – AISC 341-16 – Table A3.1; editable in materials</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Ultimate (tensile) strength is also modified for elements selected as dissipative:</p>\n<p>\\(f_{u,max}= \\gamma_ov \\cdot f_u \\) (EN)</p>\n<p>\\(F_{u,max} = R_t \\cdot F_u \\) (AISC)</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>γ</em><sub>ov</sub> – overstrength factor, recommended value is 1.25; editable in materials</li>\n <li><em>R</em><sub>u</sub> – ratio of probable to minimal tensile strength – AISC 341-16 – Table A3.1; editable in materials</li>\n</ul>\n<p>All the factors are modifiable allowing user a great degree of freedom. Moreover, multiple overstrength functions may be created with varying properties, but one plate may be selected only once. The strain-hardening factor is typically not used (equal to 1) for the analysis of braced frames. Note that safety (resistance/capacity) factors are not used for dissipative elements (members or plates with applied overstrength function).</p>\n<h2>Case study: Moment resisting frames</h2>\n<p>Typically, the beam is a dissipative member, in which plastic hinge is meant to form, and connection and the column are non-dissipative elements, which must remain without significant deformations. The beam is loaded by the load necessary to form plastic hinge in the beam with probable yield strength and by the corresponding shear force:</p>\n<p>\\[ M_{Ed} = f_{y,max} \\cdot W_{pl} \\]</p>\n<p>\\[V_{Ed} = \\frac{2M_{Ed}}{L_h} + V_{gravity} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>W</em><sub>pl</sub> – plastic section modulus of the beam</li>\n <li><em>L</em><sub>h</sub> – distance between two plastic hinges on the beam</li>\n <li><em>V</em><sub>gravity</sub> – shear force due to gravity loading in the seismic combination</li>\n</ul>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"60d63b32-e0ab-41e1-b674-903365151edd\" data-image-id=\"60d63b32-e0ab-41e1-b674-903365151edd\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/483ccbcc-0aaf-4302-be41-45b5bf3074b6/plastic%20hinge.png\" data-asset-id=\"60d63b32-e0ab-41e1-b674-903365151edd\" data-image-id=\"60d63b32-e0ab-41e1-b674-903365151edd\" alt=\"Plastic hinge\"></figure>\n<p>Note that if a double-sided beam-to-column joint is used, the forces must be from the same load case with correct directions, e.g.:</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1496a1bc-2d5e-41ef-89e5-4447eeaf64c5\" data-image-id=\"1496a1bc-2d5e-41ef-89e5-4447eeaf64c5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/582bcac7-9ba5-48d1-bc9b-cf153db4dfad/CD_Loads.png\" data-asset-id=\"1496a1bc-2d5e-41ef-89e5-4447eeaf64c5\" data-image-id=\"1496a1bc-2d5e-41ef-89e5-4447eeaf64c5\" alt=\"Loads\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"15fd28dd-c0c2-43bf-95ea-b445526a323c\" data-image-id=\"15fd28dd-c0c2-43bf-95ea-b445526a323c\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/d766deab-f4a5-4454-84cf-39ea37c6773a/CD_two%20members.png\" data-asset-id=\"15fd28dd-c0c2-43bf-95ea-b445526a323c\" data-image-id=\"15fd28dd-c0c2-43bf-95ea-b445526a323c\" alt=\"Capacity design - two members\"></figure>\n<p>The shear forces are typically applied at the node for rigid joints.

The given value can be compared with the values recommended in design codes.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"7f4258bd-3c6c-4724-853f-a141b761564e\" data-image-id=\"7f4258bd-3c6c-4724-853f-a141b761564e\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/7b265bed-2ef8-4271-b2a1-ba058b80e6df/CD_ductility.png\" data-asset-id=\"7f4258bd-3c6c-4724-853f-a141b761564e\" data-image-id=\"7f4258bd-3c6c-4724-853f-a141b761564e\" alt=\"Ductility\"></figure>\n<h2>Summary</h2>\n<p>The joint intended as a part of a seismic resisting system with dissipative structural behavior has to be checked against:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>standard load combinations (EPS analysis)</li>\n <li>accidental seismic load combination (EPS analysis)</li>\n <li>load necessary to form a plastic hinge in the dissipative member (MC analysis)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Code specified detailing rules must be followed.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n3e5360ff_d1e3_018e_2faf_8b625157c3c6\"></object>\n<h2>References:</h2>\n<ul>\n <li>EN 1998-1 Chapter 6: Specific rules for steel buildings</li>\n <li>EN 1993-1-8</li>\n <li>ACI 341-16 <a href=\"https://www.aisc.org/globalassets/aisc/publications/standards/seismic-provisions-for-structural-steel-buildings-ansi-aisc-341-16.pdf\">https://www.aisc.org/globalassets/aisc/publications/standards/seismic-provisions-for-structural-steel-buildings-ansi-aisc-341-16.pdf</a></li>\n <li>ACI 358-18 <a href=\"https://www.aisc.org/globalassets/aisc/publications/standards/a358-18w.pdf\">https://www.aisc.org/globalassets/aisc/publications/standards/a358-18w.pdf</a></li>\n <li>ACI 360-16 <a href=\"https://www.aisc.org/globalassets/aisc/publications/standards/a360-16-spec-and-commentary.pdf\">https://www.aisc.org/globalassets/aisc/publications/standards/a360-16-spec-and-commentary.pdf</a></li>\n <li>CSA S16-14</li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"link\" data-codename=\"take_idea_statica_24_0_for_a_test_drive_today\"></object>"

The length of a member should be at least 1× the height of the member after the last manufacturing operation (weld, opening, stiffener etc.) due to the correct deformations after the rigid links connecting the cut end of a member to the connection node.</p>\n<p><br></p>"

FEA programs use an envelope of internal forces from combinations. IDEA StatiCa Connection is a program that resolves steel joint nonlinearly (elastic/plastic material model). Therefore, the envelope combinations cannot be used. IDEA StatiCa searches for extremes of internal forces (<em>N, V</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><em>, V</em><em><sub>z</sub></em><em>, M</em><em><sub>x</sub></em><em>, M</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><em>, M</em><em><sub>z</sub></em>) in all combinations at the ends of all members connected to the joint. For each such extreme value, also all other internal forces from that combination in all remaining members are used. Idea StatiCa determines the worst combination for each component (plate, weld, bolt etc.) in the connection.</p>\n<p>The user can modify this list of load cases. He can work with combinations in the wizard (or BIM), or he can delete some cases directly in <a data-item-id=\"b0a659df-8f92-4d1f-abb6-2efa02bad946\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Connection</a>.</p>\n<p><strong>Warning!</strong></p>\n<p>It is necessary to take into account unbalanced internal forces during the import. This can happen in the following cases:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Nodal force was applied to the position of the investigated node. The software cannot detect which member should transfer this nodal force and, therefore, it is not taken into account in the analysis model. <em>Solution: Do not use nodal forces in global analysis. If necessary, the force must be manually added to a selected member as a normal or shear force.</em></li>\n <li>Loaded, non-steel (usually timber or concrete) member is connected to the investigated node. Such member is not considered in the analysis, and their internal forces are ignored in the analysis. <em>Solution: Replace the concrete member with a concrete block and anchorage.</em></li>\n <li>The node is a part of a slab or a wall (usually from concrete). The slab or the wall is not part of the model, and its internal forces are ignored. <em>Solution: Replace the concrete slab or wall with a concrete block and anchorage.</em></li>\n <li>Some members are connected to the investigated node via rigid links. Such members are not included in the model, and their internal forces are ignored. <em>Solution: Add these members into the list of connected members manually.</em></li>\n <li>Seismic load cases are analyzed in the software. Most FEA software offer the modal analysis to solve seismicity. The results of internal forces of seismic load cases provide usually only internal force envelopes in sections. Due to the evaluation method (square root of the sum of squares – SRSS), the internal forces are all positive and it is not possible to find the forces matching to the selected extreme. It is not possible to achieve a balance of internal forces. <em>Solution: Change the positive sign of some internal forces manually.</em></li>\n</ul>"

The deformation capacity of components has been studied from the end of the last century (Foley and Vinnakota, 1995). Faella et al. (2000) carried out tests on T-stubs and derived the analytical expressions for the deformation capacity. Kuhlmann and Kuhnemund (2000) performed tests on the column web subjected to transverse compression at different levels of compression axial force in the column. Da Silva et al. (2002) predicted deformation capacity at different levels of axial force in the connected beam. Based on the test results combined with FE analysis, deformation capacities are established for the basic components by analytical models by Beg et al. (2004). In the work, components are represented by non-linear springs and appropriately combined in order to determine the rotation capacity of the joint for the end-plate connections, with an extended or flush end-plate and welded connections. For these connections, the most important components that may significantly contribute to the rotation capacity were recognized as the web in compression, column web in tension, column web in shear, column flange in bending, and end-plate in bending. Components related to the column web are relevant only when there are no stiffeners in the column that resist compression, tension, or shear forces. The presence of a stiffener eliminates the corresponding component, and its contribution to the rotation capacity of the joint can be therefore neglected. End-plates and column flanges are important only for end-plate connections where the components act as a T-stub, where also the deformation capacity of the bolts in tension is included. The questions and limits of the deformation capacity of connections of high-strength steel were studied by Girao et al. (2004).</p>"

However, it should be checked that there are no buckling issues and that the results of strength analysis, which uses only geometrically linear analysis, are correct.</p>\n<p><a data-item-id=\"b0a659df-8f92-4d1f-abb6-2efa02bad946\" href=\"\">IDEA StatiCa Connection</a> can perform linear buckling analysis of a model of a joint. The results are predicted in buckling modes. Critical load, at which buckling of the perfect model occurs, is calculated for each buckling mode. Critical load is presented by multipliers of the load acting on the joint. According to the buckling mode and critical load multiplier, the user can determine the safe buckling design.</p>\n<p>Some codes, e.g. Eurocode (EN 1993-1-1, Chapter 5.2.1), recommend a critical load multiplier higher than 15 for bar models of structures. If the critical load multiplier is higher than 15, the code does not require a buckling check of members.</p>\n<p>For joints, the matter is different, and the code does not provide any specific recommendation. The design of local buckling must be tackled in another way. Generally, the local buckling may be divided into three groups:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Plates connecting individual members</li>\n <li>Stiffening plates in the joint – stiffeners, ribs, short haunches</li>\n <li>Closed sections and thin-walled sections</li>\n</ol>\n<p>The buckling of plates from group 1 affects the buckling shape of the whole member. Therefore, it is recommended to apply the same rules as for these members also to these plates, i.e., consider safe critical load multiplier 15 and higher. The engineer should verify that the real execution of the joint corresponds to the boundary conditions of the model used for buckling analysis of the whole structure.</p>\n<p>Plates from group 2 affect the local buckling of the joint. For such plates, the safe boundary of critical load multiplier 15 is conservative, but specific guidance is missing in codes. The guidance is provided by <a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/all?category=verification_example&label=buckling\" data-new-window=\"true\" title=\"IDEA StatiCa Support Center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">research papers</a> that recommend a safe boundary of critical load multiplier equal to 3.</p>\n<p>Buckling of plates and members from group 3 is very problematic, and individual assessment of each particular case is necessary.</p>\n<p>For plates with a critical load multiplier smaller than suggested values (15 for group 1, 3 for group 2), plastic design cannot be used.

Buckling analysis is a must and each mode shape must be carefully analyzed.</p>\n<p>Software IDEA StatiCa Connection is dedicated to the assessment of connections of hot-rolled members which are not significantly affected by buckling. The geometrically linear and materially non-linear analysis is performed because of its fast and stable calculation. However, this analysis is not sufficient for stability loss. If buckling may be a problem, performing a linear buckling analysis helps to detect dangerous areas and provide a factor for Euler’s bifurcation point, but this is still not enough for thin-walled members. For thin-walled members, only geometrically nonlinear analysis with imperfections is suitable.</p>\n<p>If the user still decides to use IDEA StatiCa Connection software to check connections of thin-walled members, he should:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Perform linear buckling analysis and carefully evaluate each buckling shape, the first 5 presented buckling shapes might not be enough (<a data-item-id=\"940e97db-790e-439d-95b7-c99b79c53c43\" href=\"\">How to increase the number of evaluated shapes</a>)</li>\n <li>Do not rely on the plasticity of steel plates and rather limit the von Mises stress to yield strength or even lower</li>\n <li>Be aware that local buckling, which is not considered, can redistribute internal forces in components differently</li>\n <li>Be aware that the stiffness of components may be different due to different failure modes or their combination.</li>\n <li>Be aware that presented checks and detailing of components (e.g., bolts, welds) are the following guides for standard members. The checks for thin-walled members may vary, and then the provided checks are not correct.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The design of connections of thin-walled members is very case-specific, and no general guide can be provided. IDEA StatiCa Connection was not validated for this use.</p>\n<h4>Component checks – EN</h4>\n<p>In EN 1993-1-1 thin-walled members are defined as: “Class 4 cross-sections are those in which local buckling will occur before the attainment of yield stress in one or more parts of the cross-section.” The main part of Eurocode for steel is limited to members with material thickness t ≥ 3 mm. <a data-item-id=\"2f49e81d-802d-4857-84e1-8776e12bc8ee\" href=\"\">Chapter 4 – Welded connections</a> apply only to a material thickness of t ≥ 4 mm. Therefore, the checks of components provided by software do not apply to cold-formed members with smaller thicknesses. Users should be aware of this and replace the checks with appropriate formulas from EN 1993-1-3 manually.</p>\n<p>Analysis of <a data-item-id=\"48d4bb94-7eb2-4c01-b2dc-56bae88b469b\" href=\"\">hollow section joints</a> should also be carefully performed for members which are out of the range of validity for welded joints – EN 1993-1-8 – Table 7.1. There are no guidelines for such joints, and the software results have not been validated.</p>\n<h4>Component checks – AISC</h4>\n<p>In Chapter A of AISC 360-16 there is a user note stating: “For the design of cold-formed steel structural members, the provisions in the AISI North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (AISI S100) are recommended, except for cold-formed hollow structural sections (HSS), which are designed in accordance with this Specification.” AISI S100 and AS/NZS 4600 provide formulas to determine the shear and tension resistance of the most common fastener types together with their range of application</p>\n<h4>Component checks – CISC</h4>\n<p>CSA S16-14 states in Chapter 1: “Requirements for steel structures such as bridges, antenna towers, offshore structures, and cold-formed steel structural members are given in other CSA Group Standards.”</p>"

The limit lateral stiffness where lateral-torsional buckling has an effect up to only 5 % of beam bending resistance is calculated according to EN 1993-1-1 as S<sub>lim</sub> = 8 589 kN. However, the results with torsional restraint are diverging at higher levels of rotational stiffness.

LTBeam provides unrealistically high critical load multipliers for high torsional stiffness. </p>\n<p>To verify this claim, the ABAQUS shell element model was created at ETH university. The beam is again fixed on both ends, made of steel grade S355 and with a length of 6 m. Beam cross-section IPE 240 was used.

The stiffnesses provided by trapezoidal sheets of sandwich panels are much smaller and may be determined by experiments or calculations. Most often, the values of lateral and torsional stiffness would be recommended by manufacturers of sandwich panels or other types of cladding. </p>\n<p>The calculation of lateral stiffness <em>S</em> [N] provided by trapezoidal sheets is provided in EN 1993-1-3, Chapter 10:</p>\n<p>\\[S=1000 \\sqrt{t^3} \\left ( 50+10 \\sqrt[3]{b_{roof}} \\right ) \\frac{s}{h_w} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>t</em> – design thickness of trapezoidal sheeting [mm]</li>\n <li><em>b</em><sub>roof</sub> – roof width, i.e. for gable roof it is the distance between a ridge and an eave [mm]</li>\n <li><em>s</em> – distance between beams [mm]</li>\n <li><em>h</em><sub>w</sub> – trapezoidal sheet profile depth [mm] </li>\n</ul>\n<p>The formula is valid if the trapezoidal sheet is connected to the beam at each rib. If the sheeting is connected to the beam at every second rib only, then <em>S</em> should be substituted by 0.2 <em>S</em>.</p>\n<p>Lateral stiffness of sandwich panels is described in ECCS recommendation.

It is recommended to use more advanced geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis for joints of hollow sections even though the computational time is slightly higher. If GMNA analysis for hollow sections is selected in Code setup, GMNA is used instead of geometrically linear and materially nonlinear analysis (MNA, used as a standard in IDEA Statica Connection) for models with hollow section member as a bearing member.</p>\n<p><em>Note: If the bearing member is not a hollow section, the GMNA solver is disabled for the analysis of the whole connection model regardless of the settings in the code setup (GMNA on or off).</em></p>\n<h4>Cross-section deforms at the end of the shell model</h4>\n<p>The cross-section may deform at the ends of the model consisting of shell elements. Joints of hollow sections require relatively long members – up to 10 times cross-section diameter. Condensed superelement is placed behind the part of the model consisting of shell elements. This allows faster calculation with the same precision as the full model consisting of shell elements. The condensed superelement has only elastic material properties, and that means the plastic strains due to the investigated failure mode should not reach the end of shell element model. For this reason, the shell model spans by default 1.25 times the cross-section height (editable in Code setup) behind the last manufacturing operation. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"d540c6c8-c955-4515-a5cf-538a3eebfb04\" data-image-id=\"d540c6c8-c955-4515-a5cf-538a3eebfb04\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/e7e89119-c6c4-4ec7-a097-48de5018924a/RN%2021%20-%20Solver%202-1200x630.png\" data-asset-id=\"d540c6c8-c955-4515-a5cf-538a3eebfb04\" data-image-id=\"d540c6c8-c955-4515-a5cf-538a3eebfb04\" alt=\"Hollow section with deformed end cross-sections\"></figure>\n<h4>Shell bending resistance reduced for hollow sections (imperfections)</h4>\n<p>Load resistances of hollow section joints in the codes are determined by the Failure Mode Method that uses curve-fitting models determined from experiments and advanced numerical models.

Generally, the size of welds will increase in this order:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>To capacity estimation</li>\n <li>To minimum ductility</li>\n <li>Full strength</li>\n <li>With over-strength</li>\n</ol>\n<p>The methods are described in detail below. </p>\n<h3>To capacity estimation</h3>\n<p>Weld sizing to capacity estimation automatically provides weld sizes that are strong just enough to transfer set loads. </p>\n<p>Weld capacity estimation is the first use of machine learning in IDEA StatiCa. At the moment, it is implemented only in Eurocode. Weld resistance is determined according to the most stressed weld element. Therefore, weld utilization is highly nonlinear. The resistance of the whole length is estimated by a machine-learning algorithm based on the stress distribution along the weld length.</p>\n<p>Weld sizing to capacity estimation requires results. Size of fillet welds is adjusted according to the following formula:</p>\n<p>\\[ a_{new} = a \\cdot Ut_c / Ut_{target} \\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>\\(a_{new}\\) – adjusted fillet weld size</li>\n <li>\\(a\\) – previously set fillet weld size</li>\n <li>\\(Ut_c\\) – capacity estimation based on machine learning algorithm visible at Weld check </li>\n <li>\\(Ut_{target}\\) – target utilization in Settings → Design → Autodesign → Weld sizing</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Resulting \\(a_{new}\\) is rounded up according to Preferences → Application units → New entity rounding → Weld size. </p>\n<p>Note that weld sizes are limited by detailing rules, e.g. weld size cannot be smaller than 3 mm (EN 1993-1-8 – 4.5.2). These detailing rules are adhered to. Also, keep in mind that multiple welds in IDEA StatiCa are often set by one value. In these cases, the size is set according to the most utilized one.</p>\n<p>Also, a calculation loop is available. When weld sizing method is set to capacity estimation, it:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Sizes the fillet welds to full strength</li>\n <li>Calculates the model</li>\n <li>Sizes the fillet welds to capacity estimation</li>\n <li>Calculates the model</li>\n</ol>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"b32d2f35-98c4-47f2-834f-f5968024303b\" data-image-id=\"b32d2f35-98c4-47f2-834f-f5968024303b\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0e70d6dc-2d15-40e1-9eb6-9d2ed5036c6c/Weld%20sizing%20button.png\" data-asset-id=\"b32d2f35-98c4-47f2-834f-f5968024303b\" data-image-id=\"b32d2f35-98c4-47f2-834f-f5968024303b\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Welds are then set at or below target utilization with just one click.</p>\n<h3>To minimum ductility</h3>\n<p>Weld sizing to minimum ductility automatically provides welded connections that are strong enough to prevent brittle failures. The weld strength allows for the initial yielding of the plate, but ultimately, the weld ruptures.</p>\n<p>The requirement for minimum ductility of welded joints in FprEN 1993-1-8:2023 – 6.9(4). It originates from Dutch national annex of EN 1993-1-8, where the fixed ratio of weld strength to plate strength is 0.8. It is also included in widely-used <a href=\"https://www.steelconstruction.info/images/a/a9/SCI_P358.pdf\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Green books from the UK, namely in Chapters C2 and C3</a>. However, the fixed ratio is suitable only for steel grade S355. In the second generation Eurocode, this is expanded for all steel grades.</p>\n<p>This requirement is checked for double-sided fillet welds by:</p>\n<p>\\[a/t=\\frac{\\beta_w\\gamma_{M2} f_y}{\\sqrt{2} f_u \\gamma_{M0} } \\cdot \\min \\left \\{1.0, 1.1\\frac{f_y}{f_u} \\right \\}\\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>\\(a\\) – weld throat thickness</li>\n <li>\\(t\\) – thickness of the plate connected by edge</li>\n <li>\\(\\beta_w\\) – weld correlation factor </li>\n <li>\\(\\gamma_{M2}\\) – safety factor for bolts and welds; editable in Code setup</li>\n <li>\\(f_y\\) – plate yield strength</li>\n <li>\\(f_u\\) – weld ultimate strength</li>\n <li>\\(\\gamma_{M0}\\) – safety factor for plates; editable in Code setup</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The weld throat thickness for single-sided fillet weld is twice larger than that for double-sided fillet weld.</p>\n<p>Note that the method is useful for transversely loaded welds and works if the plate is connected by its full width.</p>\n<h3>To full strength</h3>\n<p>Weld sizing to full strength automatically provides welds that are stronger than the connected plate. In the calculation, it is assumed that the plates are loaded in tension and welds transversely as the worst case for weld strength and ductility. This design is useful to avoid brittle failures of welds for static loading.</p>\n<p>This approach is also included in widely-used <a href=\"https://www.steelconstruction.info/File:SCI_P358.pdf\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Green books from the UK, namely in Chapter C1</a>.</p>\n<p>This requirement is checked for double-sided fillet welds by:</p>\n<p>\\[a/t=\\frac{\\beta_w\\gamma_{M2} f_y}{\\sqrt{2} f_u \\gamma_{M0} }\\]</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>\\(a\\) – weld throat thickness</li>\n <li>\\(t\\) – thickness of the plate connected by edge</li>\n <li>\\(\\beta_w\\) – weld correlation factor </li>\n <li>\\(\\gamma_{M2}\\) – safety factor for bolts and welds; editable in Code setup</li>\n <li>\\(f_y\\) – plate yield strength</li>\n <li>\\(f_u\\) – weld ultimate strength</li>\n <li>\\(\\gamma_{M0}\\) – safety factor for plates; editable in Code setup</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Note that the method is useful for transversely loaded welds and works if the plate is connected by its full width.</p>\n<h3>With overstrength</h3>\n<p>Weld sizing with overstrength automatically provides welds that are much stronger than the connected plate. Overstrength factor is specified Settings → Design → Autodesign → Weld sizing. The default value of 1.4 is taken from EN 1993-1-8 – 6.2.3 (5) to form a plastic hinge. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"46affa46-f7a7-4caa-bb19-12d801c4c6f4\" data-image-id=\"46affa46-f7a7-4caa-bb19-12d801c4c6f4\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/d01c2c80-c7bf-4e58-92ae-8769024d89c2/EN%201993-1-8%20-%206.2.3.png\" data-asset-id=\"46affa46-f7a7-4caa-bb19-12d801c4c6f4\" data-image-id=\"46affa46-f7a7-4caa-bb19-12d801c4c6f4\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>In the calculation, it is assumed that the plates are loaded in tension and welds transversely as the worst case for weld strength and ductility.

For simplification, the cone is considered to be square rather than round in plan. The concrete breakout stress in the CCD method is considered to decrease with an increase in size of the breakout surface. Consequently, the increase in strength of the breakout in the CCD method is proportional to the embedment depth to the power of 1.5. Anchors whose concrete cones overlap create a group of anchors which create a common concrete cone.

Plastic hinge is expected to appear in dissipative item and all non-dissipative items of the joint must be able to safely transfer forces due to the yielding in the dissipative item. The dissipative item is usually a beam in moment resisting frame but it may also be e.g. an end plate. The safety factor is not used for dissipative items. Two factors are assigned to the yield strength of the dissipative item:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>R</em><sub>y</sub> – ratio of probable to minimal yield strength – AISC 341-16 – Table A3.1; editable in materials</li>\n <li>\\( C_{pr}=\\frac{F_y+F_u}{2\\bullet F_y} \\le 1.2 \\) – strain-hardening factor</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The ultimate strength of the dissipative item is increased by factor <em>R</em><sub>t</sub> – ratio of probable to minimal tensile strength – AISC 341-16 – Table A3.1; editable in materials</p>\n<p>The material diagram is modified according to the following figure:</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"a1229dc4-5f3a-4bbf-8b62-6318f14e74f5\" data-image-id=\"a1229dc4-5f3a-4bbf-8b62-6318f14e74f5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/ef4b2114-522c-41f5-bda5-4439f2e20f8e/AISC-dissipative.png\" data-asset-id=\"a1229dc4-5f3a-4bbf-8b62-6318f14e74f5\" data-image-id=\"a1229dc4-5f3a-4bbf-8b62-6318f14e74f5\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The increased strength of the dissipative item allows for the input of loads that cause the plastic hinge to appear in the dissipative item.

From repetitive modeling tasks to late-stage design changes, these connection-related workflows can take up a significant portion of time and resources.</p>\n<p>To address these challenges, many engineering firms are turning to IDEA StatiCa not just for its analysis capabilities but for the workflow optimizations it offers. Three specific tools, <strong>Checkbot grouping and batch design</strong>, <strong>parametric templates</strong>, and the <strong>new connection wizard</strong>,<strong> </strong>are helping teams streamline their processes and maintain efficiency across projects of all sizes.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n93a841d8_f840_0152_922a_77de0d5e2c46\"></object>\n<h2>Checkbot – grouping & batch design</h2>\n<p>When the same connection type appears throughout a structure, whether it’s a base plate at each column or a beam-to-beam shear connection in multiple bays, repeating individual modeling and validation steps can consume valuable hours. <a data-item-id=\"caeb1a6c-2621-446f-8005-4d2799496a39\" href=\"\">Checkbot</a> helps you combine these similar connections so you can focus on one reference design instead of opening dozens of separate files.</p>\n<p>By recognizing patterns in member count and cross-section, <strong>Checkbot lets you work on a single node and then apply that connection model to every matching node</strong>. Once the reference connection is set up, the software performs all required calculations, code checks, and load combinations for the entire group. You’ll also be able to export your connections to BIM via IFC without leaving the Checkbot interface.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"6db33267-4ea8-4414-9c07-a66a17704ddc\" data-image-id=\"6db33267-4ea8-4414-9c07-a66a17704ddc\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/65faa61b-f067-49d5-818b-6307da332e3b/checkbot.png\" data-asset-id=\"6db33267-4ea8-4414-9c07-a66a17704ddc\" data-image-id=\"6db33267-4ea8-4414-9c07-a66a17704ddc\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Here's how it works:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Connections are automatically grouped</strong> by member count and section type.</li>\n <li><strong>Design one reference connection</strong>, and Checkbot applies it across the group.</li>\n <li><strong>Run design checks and analyses</strong> for the group, including all relevant load combinations, without opening each connection individually.</li>\n <li><strong>A single report</strong> summarizes every connection in either a summary or a detailed format.</li>\n <li><strong>IFC export</strong> integrates your results directly into BIM models.</li>\n <li><strong>Everything happens within Checkbot</strong>, no switching between programs.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Firms using Checkbot are seeing time savings of 50–60% over traditional workflows. By cutting down repetitive modeling and centralizing checks, engineers can work faster without sacrificing quality. Checkbot is especially valuable in BIM or FEA models with repeating geometries like beam-to-column connections, where consistency and organization are crucial across dozens of similar connections.</p>\n<p>To prove our words, we've run a small test. </p>\n<p>During our webinar on <a data-item-id=\"f473766d-15da-4182-9f16-ed3bea7d9630\" href=\"\">Complete connection design in IDEA StatiCa Checkbot</a>, we asked attending engineers how long it typically takes them to design joints for a project with approximately 200 connections. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"f1e80b05-15a5-436d-9d23-cee7efe85d28\" data-image-id=\"f1e80b05-15a5-436d-9d23-cee7efe85d28\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/7068e5f7-65a5-40ae-8e83-f3c339ca76d4/Structure.png\" data-asset-id=\"f1e80b05-15a5-436d-9d23-cee7efe85d28\" data-image-id=\"f1e80b05-15a5-436d-9d23-cee7efe85d28\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"a06a21e8-f3a5-4b40-a829-0d36e681f481\" data-image-id=\"a06a21e8-f3a5-4b40-a829-0d36e681f481\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b0ac9c9d-0a1e-49a2-8dba-31e79dd1cef0/poll%20results.png\" data-asset-id=\"a06a21e8-f3a5-4b40-a829-0d36e681f481\" data-image-id=\"a06a21e8-f3a5-4b40-a829-0d36e681f481\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<ul>\n <li>Over 80% said more than 6 hours.</li>\n <li>25% estimated over 24 hours. </li>\n</ul>\n<p>With IDEA StatiCa and the help of Checkbot, it took us exactly <strong>2 hours and 25 minutes</strong>.

With IDEA StatiCa’s parametric templates, it’s easier than ever to handle simple and modular connections, especially when projects include variations of the same base design.</p>\n<p><strong>IDEA StatiCa offers a library of ready-made parametric templates</strong> for common connections like shear tabs, moment end plates, and gusset plates. These templates are fully parametric, allowing engineers to quickly adjust inputs like thicknesses, member sizes, and plate dimensions while maintaining the overall logic of the design.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"4841ab72-8214-4823-be0d-5da39464bfb4\" data-image-id=\"4841ab72-8214-4823-be0d-5da39464bfb4\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0cc53027-53f7-45a0-a88a-1ffce78cad22/parametric%20templates%20image.png\" data-asset-id=\"4841ab72-8214-4823-be0d-5da39464bfb4\" data-image-id=\"4841ab72-8214-4823-be0d-5da39464bfb4\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>Even more valuable is the ability to <a data-item-id=\"6c8e336a-172b-461f-ad1d-0ae8e5fdac78\" href=\"\"><strong>create your own parametric templates</strong></a>. If your team regularly works with standardized designs that vary slightly from project to project, this allows you to build a starting point tailored to your needs. Simply select the key parameters you want to control, adjust them as needed, and run the design check, all without needing to build the connection from scratch.</p>\n<p>Parametric templates are a massive time-saver, especially for repeated or modular connections. Where manual modeling can take 20-30 minutes for new users, templates cut that down to just 5-10 minutes by allowing quick adjustments to a few key parameters. They’re not only faster, but they also help maintain consistency across similar connection types.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n6da61a33_deaf_01ab_d0a7_8d99d029fb74\"></object>\n<h2>New Connection Wizard</h2>\n<p>To make it even easier to start your connection design, the new <a data-item-id=\"cc99ba50-ed96-445b-b357-96fbd857ba58\" href=\"\">Connection Wizard</a> provides a guided workflow from the moment you launch IDEA StatiCa Connection.

The offset of concrete block to the base plate is 200 mm upwards and to the left, 300 mm to the right and 0 mm downwards. The height of concrete block is 600 mm. Left and right anchors are 50 mm and 100 mm from the center of the column, respectively. This serves to achieve tensile and shear load eccentricity. All plates are designed to stay in elastic state.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"5027912a-fc67-4fc6-912c-0d88c5d72d7d\" data-image-id=\"5027912a-fc67-4fc6-912c-0d88c5d72d7d\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/463b4317-6fb1-4f67-ab4f-e5061cd590d6/geometry1.png\" data-asset-id=\"5027912a-fc67-4fc6-912c-0d88c5d72d7d\" data-image-id=\"5027912a-fc67-4fc6-912c-0d88c5d72d7d\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"e485e5da-9b4c-47dd-9e6d-67948cd6adc5\" data-image-id=\"e485e5da-9b4c-47dd-9e6d-67948cd6adc5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/214b4ddc-9b9c-4186-8cd7-addce07ec311/geometry2.png\" data-asset-id=\"e485e5da-9b4c-47dd-9e6d-67948cd6adc5\" data-image-id=\"e485e5da-9b4c-47dd-9e6d-67948cd6adc5\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<h2>Applied load</h2>\n<p>The column is loaded by tensile force 10 kN and shear forces in <em>y</em> and <em>z</em> direction, –5 kN and 2 kN. Both tensile and shear forces are acting on an eccentricity due to the position of the anchors.</p>\n<h2>Procedure</h2>\n<p>The anchors are designed according to ACI 318-14 – Chapter 17. Cracked plain concrete is assumed in the design. All loads are considered as static. Anchors are M12 A325M, cast-in headed with circular washer plates with the diameter of 24 mm. Shear forces are transferred via anchors. The strength of plates and welds is sufficient and is not checked here.</p>\n<p>Note: The conversion of imperial units to metric units of nonhomogenous formulas is in Appendix B of ACI 318-14. The formulas give similar but not exactly the same results. To avoid different utilization for imperial and metric units, the imperial units are preferred and the coefficients in nonhomogenous formulas are slightly modified for metric units, e.g. in Equation 17.4.4.1, instead of coefficient 13, the more precise coefficient 13.2855 is used.</p>\n<h2>Manual calculation</h2>\n<p>The check of anchors is provided according to ACI 318-14 – Chapter 17. Steel strength in tension and shear and pullout strength is provided for individual anchors and concrete breakout strength in tension and shear, concrete side-face blowout strength, and concrete pryout strength is provided for group of anchors. It is assumed concrete is plain and in cracked condition.</p>\n<h3>Force distribution</h3>\n<p>The tensile force is transferred via 2 anchors, one is 50 mm from force vector origin, the other is 100 mm. It is presumed that the closer anchor transfers 2/3 of the tensile force and the farther 1/3, i.e. the closer anchor is loaded by tensile force <em>N</em><sub>f1</sub> = 6.67 kN, the farther by <em>N</em><sub>f2</sub> = 3.33 kN. The force eccentricity of the group of anchors is 25 mm.</p>\n<p>The shear force in the direction to the closest edge is transferred via 2 anchors, one is 50 mm from force vector origin, the other is 100 mm. It is presumed that the closer anchor transfers 2/3 of the shear force and the farther 1/3, i.e. the closer anchor is loaded by shear force <em>V</em><sub>fx1</sub> = 3.33 kN, the farther by <em>V</em><sub>fx2</sub> = 1.67 kN. The force eccentricity of the group of anchors is 25 mm. The shear force in the direction parallel to the closest edge, 2 kN, is distributed equally between both anchors. The vector sums of shear forces are <em>V</em><sub>f1</sub> = 3.48 kN, <em>V</em><sub>f2</sub> = 1.94 kN, and for a group of anchors <em>V</em><sub>f</sub> = 5.39 kN.</p>\n<h3>Steel strength of anchor in tension</h3>\n<p>Steel strength of anchor in tension is determined according to ACI 318-14 – 17.4.1 as</p>\n<p><em>ϕN</em><sub>sa</sub> = <em>ϕ A</em><sub>se,N</sub><em>f</em><sub>uta</sub> = 0.7 ⋅ 84 ⋅ 827.4 = 48.7 kN ≥ <em>N</em><sub>f1</sub> = 6.67 kN</p>\n<p>where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>ϕ</em> = 0.7 – strength reduction factor for anchors in tension according to ACI 318-14 – 17.3.3</li>\n <li><em>A</em><sub>se,N</sub> = 84 mm<sup>2</sup> – tensile stress area</li>\n <li><em>f</em><sub>uta</sub> = 827.4 MPa – specified tensile strength of anchor steel and shall not be greater than 1.9 <em>f</em><sub>ya</sub> and 120 ksi</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Utilization: <em>N</em><sub>f1</sub> / <em>ϕN</em><sub>sa</sub> = 6.67 / 48.7 = 13.7 %</p>\n<h3>Concrete breakout strength in tension</h3>\n<p>Concrete breakout strength is designed according to the Concrete Capacity Design (CCD) in ACI 318-14 – Chapter 17.4.2.

The column and base plate are deformed and the base plate is in contact with concrete block. The bearing stress increases the forces in anchors. Thus, factors taking into account force eccentricity are slightly different. Concrete side-face blowout strength is in IDEA StatiCa Connection checked for each anchor separately but in manual calculation, it can be checked as a group to achieve slightly higher resistance. Due to these reasons, some individual load resistances are slightly different but only by a few percents. The final utilization – interaction of tensile and shear forces – is nearly identical, 106.2 % in manual assessment and 107.7 % in IDEA StatiCa.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"ef52a2f3_594f_0117_d9f7_0fd515c08564\"></object>"

Bolt strength in bearing (AISC 360-16 – J3.10) and strength of plates in tension (AISC 360-16 – J4.1) are also checked. The bolt threads are intercepted by the shear plane.</p>\n<h2>Manual calculation</h2>\n<h3>Bolt strength</h3>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"a02943eb-f588-437c-9d92-9b867c8019b5\" data-image-id=\"a02943eb-f588-437c-9d92-9b867c8019b5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b263f217-89c6-4f63-9a34-422844ce9180/manual.PNG\" data-asset-id=\"a02943eb-f588-437c-9d92-9b867c8019b5\" data-image-id=\"a02943eb-f588-437c-9d92-9b867c8019b5\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The resistance of one shear plane of one bolt in shear is 27.6 kN. Each bolt has two shear planes and there are 9 bolts at each half of the splice. The resistance is therefore 2 ∙ 9 ∙ 27.6 = 496.7 kN.</p>\n<p>The bearing strength and tearout strength resist the force acting on both shear planes, i.e. 2 ∙ 27.6 = 55.2 kN. The smallest strength is the tearout strength of bolts near the edge of connected plates with the thickness of 10 mm, 121 kN. Other bolts have bearing strength of 128.1 kN and the decisive is the plate with the thickness of 10 mm.

Bolts are utilized at 99.9 % and plates are yielding. From the plastic strain at the connected plate, it can be seen that the reserve is not very high.</p>\n<h2>Comparison</h2>\n<p>The tensile forces in bolts are neglected in manual calculation but they do not affect the shear strength of bolts by much. The load resistance in IDEA StatiCa Connection is 494 kN while in manual calculation, it is 496 kN. In IDEA StatiCa Connection, bolts are decisive and the plates are yielding. In manual calculation, the bolts and plate tensile rupture have the same load resistance. The difference between results provided by software and manual calculation is only 0.4 %.</p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"b854cfbd_36a1_014e_7dab_1787bca269c6\"></object>"

Two approaches for the design of single plate shear connections are presented in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em>. The first, for “conventional” configurations, offers some simplifications if certain dimensional limitations are met. The second, for “extended” configurations, is more broadly applicable but without the simplifications permitted for the design of conventional configurations. Specifically, conventional configurations must have a single vertical row of between 2 and 12 bolts, the distance between the bolt line and the weld line, <em>a</em>, must be equal to or less than 3.5 in., bolts must be in standard holes or short-slotted holes transverse to the member reaction, the vertical edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em>, must satisfy the minimum edge distance requirements of Table J3.4 of the AISC <em>Specification</em> (2016), the horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em>, must be greater than or equal to 2<em>d</em>, where <em>d</em> is the bolt diameter, and either the thickness of the plate, <em>t</em><em><sub>p</sub></em>, or the thickness of the beam web, <em>t</em><em><sub>w</sub></em>, must satisfy maximum thickness requirements.</p>\n<p>The primary simplification to design for connections that meet these requirements is that bolt group strength may be evaluated as follows: bolt shear strength checked using the eccentricity listed in Table 10-9 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017) and bearing and tearout checked assuming the reaction is applied concentrically. This simplification avoids the need to consider tearout in an eccentrically loaded bolt group. For extended configuration calculations, where tearout is considered when determining the strength of the eccentrically loaded bolt group, two different methods are employed. The first method is a commonly used conservative approximation known as the “poison bolt” method. In this method, the strength of the eccentrically loaded bolt group is obtained by identifying the smallest possible strength for any of the bolts for any direction of force then utilizing that value of strength in conjunction with a value of <em>C</em> from the tables in Part 7 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The values of <em>C</em> listed in the tables are computed from the instantaneous center of rotation (IC) method. The second method is to use the modified instantaneous center of rotation method developed by Denavit et al. (2021) in which tearout is considered explicitly within the iterative procedure for determining the strength of the bolt group.</p>\n<p>Beyond bolt group strength, shear yielding of the plate, shear rupture of the plate, block shear rupture of the plate, and weld shear are also checked for conventional configurations. Additional checks for extended configurations include those for flexural rupture, plate interaction strength, and plate buckling.</p>\n<p>All traditional calculations were performed in accordance with the provisions for load and resistance factor design (LRFD) in the AISC <em>Specification</em> (2016).</p>\n<p>The CBFEM results were obtained from IDEA StatiCa Version 21.0. An example model is shown in Fig. 2. The maximum permitted loads were determined iteratively by adjusting the applied load input to a value that the program deems safe but if increased by a small amount (e.g., 0.1 kip) the program would deem unsafe. In all models, the supported beam was assigned a “N-Vz-My” model type to ensure in-plane behavior. Unless noted otherwise, forces were defined such that the point of zero moment was located at the weld line, matching the assumption of the design methods presented in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017).</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1918512d-44c9-4872-9571-db8e37035389\" data-image-id=\"1918512d-44c9-4872-9571-db8e37035389\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/79ac3744-5239-47e8-b103-9590f9953d52/Single%20plate%20shear2.png\" data-asset-id=\"1918512d-44c9-4872-9571-db8e37035389\" data-image-id=\"1918512d-44c9-4872-9571-db8e37035389\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 2 Single plate shear connection modeled in IDEA StatiCa.</em></p>\n<h2>2 Bolt Group Strength</h2>\n<p>First, connections, where the strength of the bolt group controls the strength of the connection, are investigated.

Bolt shear rupture was the controlling limit state for all values of <em>a</em> and all methods of calculation. The IDEA StatiCa results match well with the traditional calculations for the extended configuration. Where applicable, the traditional calculations for the conventional configuration give somewhat greater shear capacity. The reason for this is that a reduced eccentricity of <em>a</em>/2 is permitted to be assumed for conventional configurations per Table 10-9 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The eccentricity of the bolt group is taken as <em>a</em> for the extended configuration calculations. The eccentricity of the bolt group is also equal to <em>a</em> for IDEA StatiCa because the point of zero moment was defined to be at the weld line. The poison bolt method and the modified IC method provide the same results indicating that tearout did not control for any bolt (i.e., the plate and beam web were sufficiently thick and the bolt spacing and edge distances were sufficiently large).</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1c83acfc-3f77-4f00-bb6e-dc67d76eb290\" data-image-id=\"1c83acfc-3f77-4f00-bb6e-dc67d76eb290\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2a2bc715-a136-4478-84ba-c7a0496e5bd2/Single%20plate%20shear4.png\" data-asset-id=\"1c83acfc-3f77-4f00-bb6e-dc67d76eb290\" data-image-id=\"1c83acfc-3f77-4f00-bb6e-dc67d76eb290\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 4 Shear capacity of single plate shear connection with respect to ‘a’.</em></p>\n<p>Variation of the shear capacity with the distance <em>a</em> is presented in Fig. 5 for connections with the same properties as previously described but with two vertical rows of bolts (Fig. 6) and <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 1.5 in.

For these comparisons the column is a W14x90 and the supported beam, which frames into the flange of the column, is a W18x130. Both conform to ASTM A992 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). The plate is 14 in. tall (<em>s</em> = 3 in., <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em> = 1 in.) and conforms to ASTM A572 Gr. 50 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). The thickness of the plate varies from 3/16 in. to 3/4 in. in these analyses. There is one vertical row of (5) 3/4 in. diameter A490 bolts with threads not excluded from the shear plane and horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 1.5 in. Fillet welds were provided on both sides of the plate with size varying with plate thickness in accordance with the (<sup>5</sup>/<sub>8</sub>)<em>t</em><em><sub>p</sub></em> rule noted in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The distance from the weld line to the bolt line, <em>a</em>, was 3.0 in. These connections satisfy the requirements for the conventional configuration for plate thicknesses less than or equal to 7/16 in.</p>\n<p>Variation of the shear capacity of the connections with plate thickness is presented in Fig. 7 with the controlling limit sates presented in Table 1. The most notable result is that the traditional calculations for the extended configuration using the poison bolt method show far lower strengths than the other methods. The poison bolt method, in which the lowest possible strength for any bolt is taken as the strength of every bolt, can be highly conservative. However, it is used in practice for the evaluation of eccentrically loaded bolt groups where tearout may control. For this connection, the strength of all the bolts is based on the tearout strength of the bottom bolt using an edge distance of <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em> = 1 in. resulting in a clear distance <em>l</em><em><sub>c</sub></em> = 0.594 in. In IDEA StatiCa and the modified IC method, the strength of each individual bolt is based on the clear distance in the direction of force for that individual bolt. For example, at the limiting shear capacity of the connection with 1/4 in. thick plate, the clear distance for the bottom bolt computed by IDEA StatiCa is <em>l</em><em><sub>c</sub></em> = 1.240 in. based on the angle of load in the bolt (Fig. 8b). Tearout strength is proportional to clear distance, so the strength of the bolts per IDEA StatiCa is significantly greater than assumed in the poison bolt method.</p>\n<p>For the connections with the thinner plates, the plate controlled in both IDEA StatiCa and the traditional calculations (other than those using the poison bolt method). However, in IDEA StatiCa, plastic strains were concentrated at the holes of the top and especially the bottom bolts (Fig. 8). This contrasts with the assumed shear rupture failure plane used in the traditional calculations (i.e., a vertical line through the center of the bolts). Despite the differences in behavior, the resulting shear strength was close with IDEA StatiCa providing slightly lower shear capacities for the connections with the thinner plates.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"f53a9d93-44d2-478c-99a2-d061f3cb8a24\" data-image-id=\"f53a9d93-44d2-478c-99a2-d061f3cb8a24\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2869c09b-8eb4-4204-9c27-523a1056385d/Single%20plate%20shear7.png\" data-asset-id=\"f53a9d93-44d2-478c-99a2-d061f3cb8a24\" data-image-id=\"f53a9d93-44d2-478c-99a2-d061f3cb8a24\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 7 Shear Capacity of single plate shear connection with respect to plate thickness.</em></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><em>Table 1.

This section investigates two additional configurations, one where the supported beam frames into the web of a column and another where the supported beam frames into the web of a girder.</p>\n<p>For the case of the supported beam framing into the web of a column (Fig. 9), the column is a W27x114, and the supported beam is a W18x50. For the case of the supported beam framing into the web of a girder (Fig. 11), the girder is a W21x55, and the supported beam is a W18x46. All wide flange shapes conform to ASTM A992 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). For both cases, the plate is 13 in. tall (<em>s</em> = 3 in., <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em> = 2 in.), 3/8 in. thick, and conforms to ASTM A36 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 36 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 58 ksi). The connections have a single vertical row of (4) 3/4 in. diameter A325 bolts with threads not excluded from the shear plane and horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 2 in. The weld was a 5/16 in. fillet weld on both sides of the plate.

Accordingly, all the IDEA StatiCa analyses thus far in this document have utilized an equivalent assumption for the position on the member from the node where the load is applied, <em>X</em>. However, other choices of the location of the point of zero moment could be made, especially if the choice is made consistently with the location of the pin in the structural analysis model of the frame.</p>\n<p>Analyses were performed to investigate the impact of the location of the point of zero moment. For these analyses, the column is a W14x90, and the supported beam, which frames into the flange of the column, is a W18x143. Both conform to ASTM A992 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). The plate is 14 in. tall (<em>s</em> = 3 in., <em>l</em><em><sub>ev</sub></em> = 1 in.), 3/8 in. thick, and conforms to ASTM A572 Gr. 50 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi). There is one vertical row of (5) 3/4 in. diameter A490 bolts with threads excluded from the shear plane and horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 1 in. Fillet welds were provided on both sides of the plate with size varying with plate thickness in accordance with the (<sup>5</sup>/<sub>8</sub>)<em>t</em><em><sub>p</sub></em> rule noted in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The distance from the weld line to the bolt line, <em>a</em>, was 9 in.</p>\n<p>Variation of the shear capacity with the distance <em>X</em> (measured from the centerline of the column to the location of the point of zero moment) is presented in Fig. 13. The controlling limit state per IDEA StatiCa was bolt tearout for x ≤ 16 in. and weld resistance for greater values of <em>X</em>. The controlling limit states for the traditional calculations using the modified IC method were bolt group strength for x < 17 in. and shear rupture of the plate for greater values of <em>X</em>. The controlling limit state for the traditional calculations using the poison bolt method was bolt group strength for all values of <em>X</em>. It is interesting to note that the IDEA StatiCa results were near those from the poison bolt method for this comparison. For these cases, the direction of the force in the controlling bolt is near that of the worst-case condition used in the poison bolt method (Fig. 14).</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"f8f1b122-82d9-487e-9037-6a37aadf6566\" data-image-id=\"f8f1b122-82d9-487e-9037-6a37aadf6566\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/df624fb8-6c6a-41ba-a529-c7f320de608f/Single%20plate%20shear13.png\" data-asset-id=\"f8f1b122-82d9-487e-9037-6a37aadf6566\" data-image-id=\"f8f1b122-82d9-487e-9037-6a37aadf6566\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 13 Shear capacity of single plate shear connection versus the location of the point of zero moment</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"ca4b343c-7172-4c9e-8c00-eb535caaf1af\" data-image-id=\"ca4b343c-7172-4c9e-8c00-eb535caaf1af\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b0f5dd53-44a8-4400-8876-96667a9585fa/Single%20plate%20shear14.png\" data-asset-id=\"ca4b343c-7172-4c9e-8c00-eb535caaf1af\" data-image-id=\"ca4b343c-7172-4c9e-8c00-eb535caaf1af\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 14 Detailed results for connection the position of the point of zero moment located at the weld line.</em></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"de791749_3c52_01ea_bd94_9ad1a63d8074\"></object>\n<h2>6 Stiffness Analysis</h2>\n<p>In addition to strength requirements, single plate shear connections must also satisfy rotation capacity requirements. Section B3.4a of the AISC <em>Specification</em> (2016) states that “a simple connection shall have sufficient rotation capacity to accommodate the required rotation determined by the analysis of the structure.” For the traditional calculations, this requirement is satisfied by maximum plate and beam web thickness limitations described in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). With IDEA StatiCa, this requirement can be satisfied by performing a stiffness analysis.</p>\n<p>The rotation capacities from a series of analyses on connections with varying plate thickness are presented in Fig. 15. For these analyses, the column is a W14x90, and the supported beam, which frames into the flange of the column, is a W18x130. Both conform to ASTM A992 (<em>F</em><em><sub>y</sub></em><sub> </sub>= 50 ksi, <em>F</em><em><sub>u</sub></em> = 65 ksi).

There is one vertical row of (5) 7/8 in. diameter A325 bolts with threads not excluded from the shear plane and horizontal edge distance, <em>l</em><em><sub>eh</sub></em> = 1.5 in. Fillet welds were provided on both sides of the plate with size varying with plate thickness in accordance with the (<sup>5</sup>/<sub>8</sub>)<em>t</em><em><sub>p</sub></em> rule noted in Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017). The distance from the weld line to the bolt line, <em>a</em>, was 3 in. These connections satisfy the requirements for the conventional configuration and rotation capacity since all plate thicknesses are less than or equal to 1/2 in. (AISC <em>Manual </em>Table 10-9).</p>\n<p>The analyses were performed using the ‘ST’ (stiffness) analysis type. Unlike the previous analyses, these models were loaded with bending moments about the major axis of the beam. The rotational capacity was independent of the magnitude of applied load.</p>\n<p>Per Section B3.4a of the AISC <em>Specification</em> (2016) the required rotation capacity is determined from the structural analysis and depends on the framing and loads. A value of 0.03 rad or 30 mrad is commonly accepted as a reasonable upper bound for beam end rotation and the plate thickness limitations of Part 10 of the AISC <em>Manual</em> (2017) were calibrated to meet this upper bound (Muir and Thornton 2011). The rotation capacities shown in Fig. 15 are less than 30 mrad despite meeting the plate thickness requirements. The values may still be acceptable to a wide range of cases which have less beam end rotation than the upper bound, however, it is also possible that the stiffness analysis in IDEA StatiCa is not fully capturing the ductility of the connections. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"7fea45b3-435e-42d2-bfb3-299061967305\" data-image-id=\"7fea45b3-435e-42d2-bfb3-299061967305\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2ff74085-3a3a-4d90-b4ab-9842e0993b74/Single%20plate%20shear15.png\" data-asset-id=\"7fea45b3-435e-42d2-bfb3-299061967305\" data-image-id=\"7fea45b3-435e-42d2-bfb3-299061967305\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 15 Rotation capacity with respect to varying plate thickness.</em></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"d9ab241d_ab2c_0125_7aec_7c0be2ef8566\"></object>\n<h2>7 Summary</h2>\n<p>This study compared the design of single plate shear connections by traditional calculation methods used in US practice and IDEA StatiCa. Key observations from the study include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>The available strength of single plate shear connections per IDEA StatiCa agrees well with traditional calculations using the method for extended configurations.</li>\n <li>The available strength per IDEA StatiCa was found to be conservative in comparison to the traditional calculations using the method for conventional configurations, which assumes a reduced eccentricity in some cases.</li>\n <li>IDEA StatiCa detects the clear distance for each bolt individually for consideration of tearout, resulting in appropriate reductions in strength when edge distances are small.</li>\n <li>IDEA StatiCa allows the investigation of different assumed locations of the point of zero moment.</li>\n <li>Stiffness analysis in IDEA StatiCa can be used to evaluate the rotation capacity requirements of AISC <em>Specification</em> Section B3.4a. However, the results were found to be conservative in comparison to the design rules presented in the AISC <em>Manual</em> for the cases examined.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>8 References</h2>\n<p>AISC. (2016).

Capacity design is missing in Australian standard so New Zealand standard is used instead. Plastic hinge is expected to appear in dissipative item and all non-dissipative items of the joint must be able to safely transfer forces due to the yielding in the dissipative item. The dissipative item is usually a beam in moment resisting frame but it may also be e.g. an end plate. The safety factor is not used for dissipative items. The yield strength of the dissipative item is calculated as <em>F</em><sub>y,max</sub> = 0.9 <em>ϕ</em><sub>os</sub> <em>ϕ</em><sub>om</sub><em>f</em><sub>y</sub>, where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>ϕ</em><sub>os</sub> – strain-hardening factor; the recommended values are <em>ϕ</em><sub>os</sub> = 1.15 for beam in moment resisting frame, <em>γ</em><sub>sh</sub> = 1.0 otherwise; editable in operation</li>\n <li><em>ϕ</em><sub>om</sub> – overstrength factor – EN 1998-1, Cl. 6.2; the recommended value is <em>ϕ</em><sub>om</sub> = 1.3; editable in materials</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The material diagram is modified according to the following figure:</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"5933ab0d-9c8a-4f8c-920c-6f38f68ccea8\" data-image-id=\"5933ab0d-9c8a-4f8c-920c-6f38f68ccea8\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/c2d1b270-d2f2-46fd-ad58-dbd8122b9c17/Capacity_design.PNG\" data-asset-id=\"5933ab0d-9c8a-4f8c-920c-6f38f68ccea8\" data-image-id=\"5933ab0d-9c8a-4f8c-920c-6f38f68ccea8\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The increased strength of the dissipative item allows for the input of loads that cause the plastic hinge to appear in dissipative item. In the case of moment resisting frame and beam as the dissipative item, the beam should be loaded by <em>M</em><em><sub>y</sub></em> = <em>f</em><sub>y,max</sub><em>W</em><sub>pl,</sub><em><sub>y</sub></em> and corresponding shear force<em>V</em><em><sub>z</sub></em> = –2 <em>M</em><em><sub>y</sub></em> / <em>L</em><sub>h</sub>, where:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>f</em><sub>y</sub> – characteristic yield strength</li>\n <li><em>W</em><sub>pl,</sub><em><sub>y</sub></em> – plastic section modulus</li>\n <li><em>L</em><sub>h</sub> – distance between plastic hinges on the beam</li>\n</ul>\n<p>In case of asymmetric joint, the beam should be loaded by both sagging and hogging bending moments and their corresponding shear forces.</p>\n<p>The plates of dissipative items are excluded from check.</p>"
