" NS/FS Clip Conn2 " connection design locks

Horizontal brace gusset clip angles can be designed per " NS Clip Conn2 " and/or " FS Clip Conn2 " locks when ' Clip angle ' is selected as the " Gusset to beam connection " for a horizontal brace (any valid material type) that frames perpendicular to beam web.

(horizontal brace, gusset clip angles, perpendicular to a beam's web) (horizontal brace " Section size " = any valid shape) (" Input connection type " = ' Hbrc plate ' or ' User defined ') (" Gusset to beam connection " = ' Clip angle ') (" Clip angles on " = ' Both sides ' or ' Near side ' or ' Far side ')
" NS Clip Conn2 " (" Gusset to clip connection " = ' Bolted ')	" NS Clip Conn2 " (" Gusset to clip connection " = ' Welded ')
Connection specification: When " Gusset to beam connection " is set to ' Clip angle ', the gusset plate field bolts to the web of the beam, and the brace shop bolts to the gusset plate. Since the brace is perpendicular to the beam, its gusset plate is symmetrical around its work line.

(horizontal brace gusset plate perpendicular to a beam's web, clip angle connection)

Clip angle

Clip angle(s) can be on ' Both sides ' or ' Near side ' or ' Far side ' of the gusset plate. You get a leaf for "   NS Clip Conn2 " and another leaf named "   FS Clip Conn2 " when ' Both sides ' is selected.

Connection to supported (gusset clip angle, NS or FS, leg welded or bolted to the gusset plate) :

When " Connection specifications " > " Gusset to clip connection " is set to ' Welded ', you get a " Weld size " entry field, but no options for bolting:

Weld size ( weld ):

When the " Gusset to clip connection " is set to ' Bolted ', you get the following " Connection to supported " options for shop bolting the brace to the gusset plate. " Connection to supported " settings can be different than the entries made to " Connection to supporting " fields.

Connection to supporting (gusset clip angle, NS or FS, leg that field bolts to one supporting beam) :

Regardless of whether the " Gusset to clip connection " is set to ' Welded ' or ' Bolted ', the connection to supporting is a field bolted connection with following options:

Bolt diameter ( not depicted ):

Rows:

Vertical to 1st hole ( vert to 1st ):

Vertical hole spacing ( sp ): A single vertical spacing distance or variable hole spacing can be entered here.

VIDEO Variable hole spacing can be typed to locked " Vertical hole spacing " fields found in leaves named " Shear Tab "; " Bent Plate " " End Plate " and " NS/FS Clip Conn 2 " (Recorded in SDS2 Detailing , v2016.)

Rows	Spacing	Result
5	3,5,3,3	4 spaces at 3", 5", 3" and 3"
5	3,5,2@3	4 spaces at 3", 5", 3" and 3"
5	3,5,3	4 spaces at 3", 5", 3" and 3" (the last spacing -- 3 -- is repeated to fill the spaces that are required for the number of rows)
5	3,5,3,3,2,3	End connection failure message (see below).

End connection failure message: Variable row spacing specifies too many rows
