" Moment Flange Plate " & " Flange Filler Plate " connection design locks

Top and bottom moment flange plates can be designed for a beam splice plate connection per " Moment Flange Plate " and " Flange Filler Plate " locks. Locks on one beam are the same as and also apply to the opposite beam. The same locks control both the top and bottom flange plates.

(beam end to beam end, bolted moment flange plate splice connection)
(" Input connection type " = ' Splice plate ' or ' User defined ')
(" Moment type " = ' Bolted ')
(" Use inner flange plates " = ' Yes ')
(" Flange plates on " = ' Left end ' or ' Right end ')
" Moment Flange Plate "
(inner flange plates are new)

 " Flange Filler Plate "
(values of 0 if fill plate not designed)

" Inner flange Filler Plate "
(values of 0 if fill plate not designed)

  Flange Filler Plate

Note: If the two beams being spliced are equally deep, a Flange Filler Plate leaf will still be provided, and the connection design locks within that leaf will be set to zero (' 0 ').

Fill plate dimensions

Length ( fill length ):

Plate thickness ( thickness ):

Other dimensions are controlled by " Moment Flange Plate " locks: The " Plate width " of the moment flange plate sets the fill plate width. The hole pattern in the moment flange plate also sets the hole pattern in the fill plate.

  Inner Flange Filler Plate

Note: If the two beams being spliced have equally thick flanges, an Inner Flange Filler Plate leaf is still provided, and the connection design locks within that leaf are set to zero (' 0 ').
