" Column Web Doubler " connection design locks

" Column Web Doubler " locks can be made available when a beam moment connection frames to the flange of a column. If " Design for doublers " is selected for the moment connection, web doublers may be designed on the column web. If ' Both ' is selected for " Column web doubler side ," these locks control the doublers on both the near side and far side of the web. Plug weld holes are optional.

(W beam, moment connection, to a W column flange)
(beam " Section size " = wide flange or welded plate wide flange or a similar flanged section)
(column " Section size " = wide flange or welded plate wide flange or a similar flanged section)
(" Input connection type " = ' Shear ' or ' Clip angle ' or ' Bent plate ' or ' End plate ' or ' User defined ')
(" Moment type " = ' Bolted ' or ' Welded ')
(" Design for doublers ")
(" Column web doubler side " = ' NS ' or ' FS ' or ' Both ')
" Column Web Doublers "

Availability : " Column Web Doublers " connection design locks become available to users of a full-featured SDS2 program when " Design for doublers " is selected for a welded or bolted moment connection, regardless of whether or not web doublers are required. If the doublers are not required, the connection design locks have null values (e.g., distances of 0) and no physical web doublers are designed. If the user of that program then sets at least one of the null-value locks to a non-null value, a web doubler will be designed around the user-entered values even if the web doubler is not required.
