" Web Plate " & " Upper Web Fill Plate " & " Lower Web Fill Plate " connection design locks

NS and FS column web splice plates are designed per " Web Plate " locks. The plates shop bolt to the lower column and field bolt to the upper. An upper fill plate may be designed per " Upper Web Fill Plate " locks when the upper column web thickness is less than the lower.

(column end, web splice plate connection, to column end)
(" Section size " for both columns = W or S or welded plate W)
(" Input connection type " = ' Splice plate ' or ' Auto standard ' or ' User defined ')
(" Column attachment " = ' All-Bolted plates ')
(' Web plates ')
" Web Plate "

 " Upper Web Fill Plate "
(values of ' 0 ' if fill plate not designed)
" Lower Web Fill Plate "
(values of ' 0 ' if fill plate not designed)

A fill plate may automatically be generated in the model if the two columns being spliced have unequal web thicknesses. If the column webs are equally thick, no fill plates will initially be generated in the model, but " Upper Web Fill Plate " and " Lower Web Fill Plate " connection design locks will still be provided, with their values set to zero (' 0 ') . In a full-featured SDS2 program , entering a " Fill thickness " greater than ' 0 ' will result in a fill plate of that thickness being generated.
