" Safety Seat " connection design locks

A safety seat can be applied for beam-to-column framing situations when the beam's " Section size " is a wide flange, welded plate wide flange or HSS/TS section. The user of a full-featured SDS2 program can add a safety seat to an auto standard or user defined connection on the Beam Review window, without having to make adjustments in setup.

(beam to column) (" Input connection type " = any beam-to-column connection except a beam seat) (" Moment type " = ' Non-moment ') (" Use a safety erection seat " = ' ') (" Location of safety erection seat " = ' Top ' or ' Bottom ') (" Attachment " = ' Automatic ' or ' Bolted ' or ' Welded ')
" Safety Seat "	Not shown on this drawing is the " To column size " for welding the seat to the column. You get that option only if the " Attachment " is set to ' Welded ' in the beam end's " Connection type " leaf. Design calculations are not provided for safety seats. The design reports do note the angle section size, length and bolt diameter.
