Joist Stabilizer Angle
Stabilizer angle for an extended joist bottom chord
Material ( not depicted ): The section size of the angle material to be used as a stabilizer for the extended joist bottom chord. For example, L4x3x5/16. By default, the angle used is the " Bottom chord extension seat angle " that is entered, per joist type, on the Joist Connection Settings window. The section size you enter here must be an angle and must exist in the local shape file, or validation will not accept your entry. To enter an angle section size, you can type in the angle size that you want, or you can press the "file cabinet" browse button (
) and double-click any section that is on the list of available angles in the local shape file .
Length: The length that the angle material entered above will be cut to. See the example . This length should be wider than the bearing width entered for this joist in the local shape file .
Top of angle : The distance from the workline of the joist to the top of the angle. See the example .
Weld: The weld size to be used for shop welding the joist stabilizer angle to the web or flange of the supporting column. See the example . Setting " Weld " to ' 0 ' removes the weld.
