" Web Plate " & " Web Fill Plate " connection design locks
Connection design of a beam-to-beam splice plate connection is done per " Web Plate " and " Web Fill Plate " locks. The NS and FS web and fill plates are controlled by the same locks. The " Web Fill Plate " locks have null values when the web thicknesses of the spliced beams are the same. |

Note: NS and FS web fill plates may be desiegned for beam splice connections to compensate for web thickness differences between the two beams. If the two beams have equally thick webs, a " Web Fill Plate " leaf will still be provided, and the connection design locks within that leaf will be set to zero (' 0 '). |
