A Survey of SDS/2 Connections


This is a survey of some of the many connections that SDS/2 can design.The pictures were selected to give you a feeling for the range of connectionsthat are available to you when you use SDS/2. All of the information in this

survey can also be found in the SDS/2 context-sensitive help manualthat comes with the program.

A Survey of SDS/2 ConnectionsConnections Applied on Beams: Bend Plates

Bent plates welded to the supported

Bent plates bolted to the supported

This example shows skewed beam-to-beam framing frombeneath the top flanges of the beams. Web doublers aredesigned on the supported beam to prevent web buckling.

A channel beam frames skewed to the web of anotherchannel beam of the same size. The

supported beam is coped so that it fits.

Connections Applied on Beams: Bent Plates---- SDS/2 is able to design bent plates on the end of a wide flange or S shape or

welded plate wide flange or channel beams under beam-to-beam or beam-to-column framing conditions.

---- The supported beam can be skewed or sloped or framed perpendicular to a wideflange or S shape or welded plate wide flange or tube column, but not a pipecolumn.

---- Bent plates may optionally be detailed with (shop attached to) the supporting orsupported member.

---- If framing to a tube column, the bent plate must be shop welded to the column.

---- Bent plates are often applied in skewed framing situations. SDS/2 can designbent plates from 56 to 90 degrees for two-sided connections and from 18 to 90degrees for one-sided connections.

A Survey of SDS/2 ConnectionsConnection Applied on Beams: Clip Angles

Connections Applied on Beams: Clip Angles---- SDS/2 can design clip angles on the end of a W or S or welded plate W or C or

tube beam in beam-to-beam or beam-to-column framing situations.

---- The supported beam can be sloped or perpendicular to a wide flange or S shape ortube or welded wide flange or welded plate box column, but not to a pipe column.

---- If an SDS/2 user specifies a clip angle that welds/bolts to a pipe column or bolts toa tube or welded plate box column, SDS/2 will change the clip angle to a single-plate shear connection.

---- If the beam frames to a tube or welded plate box column, the clip angle must beshop welded to the supporting column.

---- Clip angle connections are applied on the end of the supported beam. They mayoptionally be detailed on (shop attached to) the supporting member (column orbeam).

---- Moment options can be applied to a W or S beam with a clip angle connection thatframes to a W or S or welded plate W column web or flange or to a tube column.

---- During Process and Create Solids, connection design looks to relevant setupoptions, the framing situation and clip angle connection specifications to design aninitial minimum setup connection. To then design a connection that stands up tothe "Shear load" on the supported beam, connection design may increase boltdiameters, weld size, number of rows of bolts, or create web doublers.

Clip angles for beam-to-beamoffset framing

For offset beams framing to opposite sides of a supporting beam web, SDS/2 automaticallyselects an angle that will carry the standard gage from the "Angles" list in StandardFabricator Connections. If no angle is found, the connection may be changed to a shearplate connection.

Bolted clip angles with staggered bolts

Clip angles with beam web doublers

Heavy gage clip angles as beam splices

Depending on the shear load on the beam, SDS/2 designs asingle web doubler that is 3/16 inch thick on one side of the

supported beam's web, or two web doublers (one on each sideof the web). If web doublers are not needed to prevent web

buckling, then no web doublers are designed. For welded-to-supported clip angles, SDS/2 welds the web doublers.

Heavy gage clip angles have two columns of bolts. You can alsoget beam splices using 'Narrow' or 'Wide' gage clip angles onwide flange, welded plate wide flange, S shape or channel ortube beams.

Clip angle with expanded vertical bolt spacing

Safety clip angles can be designed when twobeams with clip angles frame on opposite sides of

a supporting beam or column web.

For SDS/2 to design this connection, the box must bechecked for "Extend connection and cut flange flush" inClip Angle Setup.

If "Tension" or "Compression" is applied to a supportedbeam and 'Yes' is selected for "Expand bolt

spacing," SDS/2 expands the spacing either 1.5 or 2 timesthe "Normal hole spacing" in Fabricator Options.

Clip angle with extended welded tee

Clip angle with full depth welded tee

Clip angle extended past flange

SDS/2 can design the built-up tee to be the length of the clipangle only if the top & bottom flanges of the supported beamare entirely below or entirely above (as shown) the half-depth

of the supporting beam.

This applies to a wide flange or welded plate W or S shapeor channel beam to a W or S or welded plate beam. SDS/2designs the built-up tee to be the full depth of the supportingbeam if the depth of the supported beam is greater than 1/2the depth of the supporting beam.

SDS/2 extends the clip angle past the flange when the"Shear load" is sufficiently large only when

'If required' is selected for "Extend past flange."

Clip angle with safety erection seat

Clip angle moment connection

Safety erection seats may be applied to wide flange beams with'Non-moment' clip angle connections. You have the option to have the seatdesigned on the top or bottom flange of the beam.

"Moment Specifications" can be added to clip angleson beams framing to a column flange or web. See

page 22 for more on moment connections.

Clip angle extended past flange of sloping beam

If 'If required' had not been selected for "Extend pastflange" in this situation, SDS/2 would have failed this

connection, resulting in a 'Plain end' on the beam.

A Survey of SDS/2 Connections Connections Applied on Beams: End Plates

Connections Applied on Beams: End Plates---- You can apply non-moment end plates on the end of a W or S or welded plate W or C

or tube beam under beam-to-beam or beam-to-column or beam splice framingconditions. A non-moment end plate can frame to a wide flange or S shape or weldedplate wide flange or tube column or beam, but not to a pipe member.

---- AISC type moment end plates can only be applied on W or S beams. For SDS/2 todesign an end plate beam splice (non moment), the beams must be colinear W or Ssections with top flanges that are no more than one inch apart in end elevation.

---- For moment end plate splices, the beams must be colinear W or S sections of the samesize whose top flanges are at the same elevation. End plates are detailed with (shopwelded to) the beam they are applied on.

---- Non-moment end plates may be applied under skewed framing conditions. 45 degreesis the general limit, but the actual limit depends on the beam size and framingsituation.

---- Moment options only apply to non-skewed or non-sloping end plate connections.

---- During Process and Create Solids, SDS/2 checks the "Flats" list of available bar stockmaterial. If appropriate flat bar material is found, SDS/2 uses the flat bar and takes intoaccount the rolled edge when setting the horizontal edge distance. If no appropriate flatbar material is found, SDS/2 uses plate material.

Non-moment end plate

A Survey of SDS/2 ConnectionsConnections Applied on Beams: Shear Connections

---- Shear connections may be applied on the end of a W or welded plate W or C or tubebeam under beam-to-beam or beam-to-column framing situations. They are detailed on(welded in the shop to) the supporting column or beam.

---- Shear thru connections may frame to tube or pipe columns.

---- Single-plate shear connections may frame to wide flange, tube, pipe, welded wideflange or welded plate box columns.

---- Shear tee connections may frame to wide flange or tube columns, but must be shopwelded if framing to a tube column.

---- Shear connections may be used in skewed framing situations. SDS/2 can generate ashear plate from 20 to 90 degrees. Moment flange plates can be applied to beams withskewed or perpendicular shear plates and slopes up to 30 degrees from horizontal.

---- During Process and Create Solids, connection design looks to relevant setup optionsand shear connection specifications to design an initial setup connection. To thendesign a connection that stands up to the "Shear load" on the supported beam,connection design first increases rows of bolts, then bolt diameter and last platethickness.

A Survey of SDS/2 ConnectionsConnections Applied on Beams: Seats

Connections Applied on Beams: Seats---- Beam seats are applied in SDS/2 on the ends of beams, but are detailed on (shop

welded or bolted to) columns. A bolted stability angle may be designed with the beamseat and optionally detailed on the beam or on the column. Welded stability angles arenot designed and do not appear on details, but are assumed to be shipped loose.

---- SDS/2 can automatically design a seat for a W or S or welded plate W or C or tubebeam framing to the flange or web of a W or S or welded plate W or tube column, butnot to a pipe column. WT, L or plate may be used as the seat material. Sloping plateseats can be designed for beams that slope up to 30 degrees from horizontal.

---- During Process and Create Solids, SDS/2 looks to relevant Job/Fabricator Options,beam seat input specifications (on the Beam Edit window or in Auto StandardConnections) and the "Shear load" on the supported beam to design the beam seat.

A Survey of SDS/2 ConnectionsConnections Applied on Beams: Splices

Connections Applied on Beams: Splices---- Some splice connections (for example, splice plates) cannot be applied as auto

standard. This is because auto standard connections provide no way to determinewhich member is the supported member, and therefore there is no simple way to definefor SDS/2 on which beam to shop attach the splice plates.

---- SDS/2 can design non-moment splice plates on wide flange, S shape, welded platewide flange or channel beams. Both beams must have the same "Web rotation." Thebeams can slope at different angles, but cannot be skewed with respect to one another.

---- For moment splices, both beams must use W or S "Section sizes" with depths that areless than 1 1/4 inches in difference, and the work lines of the beams must be colinear.

This example shows heavy gage clip angles (which have twocolumns of bolts). You can also get beam splices using'Narrow' or 'Wide' gage clip angles on wide flange or channelbeams. The clip angles must field bolt to one another.

Moment end plate beam splice (AISC type shown)

The beams must be colinear W or S sections. For momentsplices (like that shown), the sections must be the same sizeand the top flanges at the same elevation. 'MBMA' type momentend plates can also be designed.

Applied on Beams: Moment Connections---- Moment connections can be applied on wide flange or S shape beams framing to other

W or S beams or to wide flange, welded plate wide flange, tube or pipe columns.MBMA end plate connections can also be applied to welded plate wide flange beams.

---- To set up moment connections, see: the Angles list in Standard FabricatorConnections, Plate Design Criteria and Moment Connection Flange Plate Gap andPlate Design Criteria and Weld Design Criteria in Job Options.

---- Moment connections can be designed when the "Input connection type" is 'Clip angle'or 'Shear' or 'End plate' or 'Splice plate.'

Clip angle moment connection with flange angles

Clip angle moment connection with flange plates

This connection requires the framing situation of a W or S beam perpendicular to a W or S orwelded plate W column flange or to a tube column. A suitable angle must be in the "Angles" listin Standard Fabricator Connections. If a suitable angle is not found, SDS/2 will design amoment connection with flange plates instead of failing the connection.

Connections similar to this can be designed when a W or S beam framesperpendicular or sloping to a W or S or welded plate W column flange or to a tube column.

You can change the "Input connection type" to 'Shear' and still get a moment connection.

Connections Applied on Columns

Connections Applied on Columns

---- The types of connections that can be applied to columns are 'Auto base/cap plates,''User base/cap plates,' and 'Splice plate' connections. These connections can beapplied as 'Auto standard' as well as entered directly to the "Input connection type"field on the Column Edit window.

---- An 'Auto base/cap plate' and 'User base cap plate' can be designed on a W, S, weldedplate W, pipe or tube or welded plate box column. An 'Auto base/cap plate' requiresthat the column frame to a beam or joist unless it is a 'User defined' or 'Forced'connection. No such framing condition is required for a 'User base/cap plate.'

---- Selecting 'Splice plate' as the "Input connection type" permits you to specify threedifferent types of splice connections: 1) Bolted splice plates, which can only be appliedto W, S or welded plate W columns. 2) Welded splices, which can, in addition, beapplied to pipe, tube and welded plate box columns. 3) Welded splices with channelweb connections, which can only be applied to S, W or welded plate W columns.

* or 'Auto Standard' or 'User base/cap plate'

Auto base plate and cap plate

Auto base/cap plates are generally designed to frame to abeam or support a joist. They can be applied to wide flange, Sshape, welded plate W, welded plate box, tube or pipecolumns. To get an auto base/cap plate on a column that doesnot frame to anything, you need to 'Force' the connection, orit must be a 'User defined' connection.

Transverse beam stiffeners designedwith a base/cap plate

SDS/2 will design a full-depth stiffener plate on a beam(placed under or over a column with a base/cap plate) if the

"Load" entered for the column is sufficiently large. Twostiffeners may be designed for a heavy "Load." Design

Criteria (in Job Options) has an option to "Always providetransverse beam stiffeners."

Connections Applied on Horizontal Braces---- To have SDS/2 design a gusset plate on a horizontal brace, select 'Hbrc plate' (or 'User

Defined') as the "Input connection type" on the Horizontal Brace Edit window.Settings that control the design of the connection include the "Section size" of thebrace, its framing situation, and the "Compression" or "Tension" load on the brace.

---- SDS/2 can design gussets on horizontal braces that frame to one beam or to a beam-to-beam corner or to a beam-to-beam corner with an interposed column. Connectiondesign takes into account whether the brace frames to the web or flange of the beam. Ashared gusset plate can be designed when two or three horizontal braces frame closetogether onto a beam. An intersection plate can be designed for two short bracesintersecting with a longer brace.

---- SDS/2 can automatically generate connections on horizontal braces with L, W, S, WT,ST, pipe or tube sizes entered to the "Section size" field on the Horizontal Brace Editwindow. Angle horizontal braces may be double material in various configurations(two are shown on pages 31 & 32).

---- Horizontal braces may be input so they are perfectly horizontal or so that they slope upto 30 degrees from horizontal. The brace must be in the same plane as the beams itframes to. To get to a view that is in the same plane, Snap to Surface on the top flangeof one of the beams, then enter a negative Relative Depth to get below the flange.

SDS/2 designs two gussets that shop weld to the beam web and fieldbolt to the horizontal brace's top and bottom flanges. The programcan do this for most framing situations.

The gusset plate shop welds to the beam flange and field bolts to thebrace. A bolted clip angle cannot be used as a connector to the

gusset in this situation. This example has two column of bolts duethe size of angle used.

Double angle horizontal brace on both sides of gusset

Double material is an option for angle bracing. SDS/2automatically designs a bolted or welded stitch plate forthis type of brace, depending on the "Type of spacer"selected in Member Detailing and Fabrication Options.


32


Double angle horizontal brace on far side of gusset

The 'Far side' of the gusset is the bottom of thegusset. You also have the option to bolt the brace

to the 'Near side' of the gusset.

Angle horizontal brace to beam flanges

The gusset shop bolts to the brace and field bolts to thebeam flanges. If the brace framed to the web, clip angleswould be designed (see the example below).

Tee horizontal brace to webs of beams

The gusset shop bolts to the brace and field bolts tothe beam web with clip angles. If the brace were

higher (as in the example of an angle brace above),the gusset would field bolt to the beam flanges.


33


Tube horizontal brace to webs of beams

SDS/2 designs built-up tee fittings for tube (or pipe) bracesthat bolt to beams. You can tell by the shape of the gusset

and position of the clip angles that this brace frames to thewebs of two beams.

Horizontal brace tobeam-column-beam

Clip angles would be designed if this brace were lowered so that itfastened to the beams' webs. SDS/2 will design a similar gusset plate forangle, tee, and pipe or tube horizontal braces in this framing situation.

Horizontal brace intersection plate

SDS/2 can design an intersection plate for angle, tee, and pipe ortube horizontal braces in framing situations similar to that shown.

Connections Applied on Vertical Braces

Connections Applied on Vertical Braces

---- To have SDS/2 design a gusset plate on a vertical brace, select 'Vbrc plate' (or 'Userdefined') as the "Input connection type" on the Vertical Brace Edit window.Settings that control the design of the connection include the "Section size" of thebrace, its framing situation, and the "Compression" or "Tension" load on the brace.

---- SDS/2 can design gussets on vertical braces that frame to a beam or column or acolumn and base or cap plate or a beam and column. A shared gusset plate can bedesigned when two or three vertical braces frame close together to a beam or to acolumn. An intersection plate can be designed when one end of each of two shortbraces share the same work point on the interior of a longer brace.

---- SDS/2 can generate connections on vertical braces with L, C, WT, ST, W, S, pipe ortube sizes entered to the "Section size" field on the Vertical Brace Edit window. Youcan also enter welded plate wide flange material if its flanges are equal. Angle verticalbraces may be double material in 'Star' or 'Back-to-back' configurations.

Double angle vertical brace to column

Single angle vertical brace to beam

SDS/2 designs a gusset plate that welds to the column web(shown) or flange (not shown) and bolts between the twoangles. It can also design connections on single angles ordouble angles in a 'Star' configuration.

For single angle braces where the leg to gusset is5 inches (127 mm) or longer, you have the optionto set a staggered bolt pattern. This is also true for

"Double" angle braces that are 'Back-to-back.'

Connections Applied on Joists

Connections Applied on Joists

---- You cannot display joists in solids form. In stick form, a joist is represented by adashed line. The reason for this is that joists vary from manufacturer to manufac-turer, and it would be extremely difficult for SDS/2 to accurately model in 3D all ofthe manufacturing variations.

---- The specifications for a joist are maintained in the local material file used by yourjob. These specifications are extremely important, since they set the placement ofa joist's connections with respect to its work line.

---- SDS/2 can automatically design top chord seats for joists framing to columns, orgenerate holes, field bolts and a dummy plate on a beam flange for bolting the joist.The program can also design stabilizer plates or angle seats for extended bottomchords.

---- The Joist Setup window in Standard Fabricator Connections lets you set, amongother items, the "Member edge distance for top chord seats" and the angle used forextended bottom chord seats.

Field bolts for a joist top chord to abeam flange

Plate seat for the top chord of a joist

For SDS/2 to add holes and bolts and a dummy plate in theframing situation that is shown, the "End elevation" of the joistmust be the beam's top flange plus the "Bearing depth" of thejoist, which is set in the local material file. The bolt "Gage" isalso set in the local material file.

This type of seat is a built-up tee made of welded plates.The seat is the "Bearing depth" distance (entered in the

local material file) below the work line of the joist.

Revise & Review Fields

Revise & Review Fields forUser/User Defined Connections

This is a survey of some of the many User/User Defined Connectionswhose specifications you can adjust. More connections, along with more

detailed information about individual revise & review fields, can be foundin the SDS/2 context-sensitive help manual.

To make entries to revise and review fields:

User defined Connections: If the box 'AUTO' is checked for a particularrevise & review field, SDS/2 will define that specification for you byapplying Job Options or Fabricator Options during the design of theconnection. To enter a specification of your own, click the check box next to'AUTO' so that it is not checked, then make the appropriate type of entry.

User Connections: If the "Connection" field on the member edit window(Beam Edit, Column Edit, etc.) is set to 'System,' then the revise & reviewfields will be grayed out. To enter a specification, reset the "Connection" fieldto 'User,' then make the appropriate type of entry. Note that when you click ina revise & review field, other revise & review fields that may potentially beupdated when you make a change to your current field will be highlighted inpink.

How illustrations in this guide were created:

Typically these illustrations were created by generating member details inSDS/2, then modifying those details in SDS/2 to show the framing member.The details were then exported to another CAD program using SDS/2's DXFInterface program. Annotations were added, and then the drawings weresaved in the .eps (Encapsulated Postscript) format. GIF versions of all ofthese drawings, plus some more drawings, can be found in the SDS/2 context-sensitive help manual.

Comments:

Although only two braces are shown in this example, SDS/2 can design agusset plate for three horizontal braces if the middle brace is perpendicular tothe beam. The revise and review buttons you get for two braces sharing agusset are: "This Half" and "Other Half." For three braces you get: "ThisBrace" and "Other [#]" ("#" is the member number of the brace). "This Half"(or "This Brace") refers to the horizontal brace you are editing. The "OtherHalf" (or "Other [#]") is another brace that shares the same gusset. If youchange revise & review settings or other specifications for one horizontalbrace, it may be necessary to reset equivalent specifications for the otherhorizontal braces.

Comments:

When a vertical brace frames to a beam and column, SDS/2 designs a clip angleconnection for field bolting the gusset to the column if the connection on the beam is aclip angle.

If the connection on the beam is an end plate, SDS/2 designs an end plate connectionfor the gusset-to-column interface. If the connection on the beam is a shear plate,SDS/2 designs a shear plate connection for the gusset-to-column interface.

Comments:

Although only two braces are shown in this example, SDS/2 can design agusset plate for three wide flange vertical braces if the middle brace isperpendicular to the beam. The revise & review buttons you get for two bracessharing a gusset are: "This Half" and "Other Half." For three braces you get:"This Brace" and "Other [#]" ("#" is the member number of the brace). "ThisHalf" (or "This Brace") refers to the vertical brace you are editing. The "OtherHalf" (or "Other [#]") is another brace that shares the same gusset. If youchange revise & review settings or other specifications for one wide flangevertical brace, it may be necessary to reset equivalent specifications for theother vertical braces.

SDS/2 designs web connection plates on both sides of the brace web forconnecting the web vertical wide flange vertical brace to the gusset. Theprogram also designs fill plates on both sides of the web to compensate for thedifference between the web thickness and the gusset thickness. The revise &review fields set the specifications for both web connection plates and both fillplates at the same time (not independently).

Comments:

The gusset for a vertical brace framing to a column is uniquely shaped toaccommodate the unique geometry of the framing situation. The gusset's"Plate length" is measured vertically, parallel with the column work line. Its"Plate width" is measured horizontally.

Revise & Review Fields Parametric point maps

Parametric Point MapsWhen you Record a Material Add operation in Parametric Modeling, an expression similar to thefollowing will automatically be entered to the "Point 1" and "Point 2" fields on the parametricmaterial window:

mem.LeftEnd.Location + mem.TranslateToGlobal(X,Y,Z)

In the above expression, "mem.LeftEnd.Location" is the left end work point of the member. Theoperation "+ mem.TranslateToGlobal(X,Y,Z)" defines individual X, Y and Z member coordinatedistances and adds those distances to the member's left end work point in order to define a newpoint in global coordinates.

During Record, SDS/2's Parametric Modeling routines automatically calculate particulardistances (in real numbers) for X, Y and Z in this expression. But to create an effectivescript that adapts to many different situations, you may find it useful to define X, Y and Z usingformulas instead of numbers.

The parametric point maps on the following pages show you various formulas that you cansubstitute for X, Y or Z in the above expression in order to define points on the left or right endof a member's main material.

Following is an example of a very simple Python script that uses formulas from the parametricpoint map on the next page to define a point (var) at which a pair of construction lines intersects.When a user Runs or Tests this parametric, the program will automatically place a pair ofcyan-colored construction lines that intersect at the left end top flange near side gage line of theparticular member that the user clicks on.

# Adds construction lines on left end, near side, top flange gage line of member that is selected... # insert startup codemem = MemberLocate("Select a member")var = mem.LeftEnd.Location + mem.TranslateToGlobal(mem.left.minus_dim, 0, mem.gage*.5)# construction line begincl1 = ConsLine()cl1.Point1 = varcl1.Rotation = 90cl1.PenNumber = "Cyan"cl1.Add()# construction line end# construction line begincl2 = ConsLine()cl2.Point1 = varcl2.Rotation = 0cl2.PenNumber = "Cyan"cl2.Add()# construction line end

Note: In this example, left is valid alias for LeftEnd, minus_dim is a valid alias forMinusDimension, gage is a valid alias for FlangeGage. The shorter aliases were used here andon the following pages to save space.
