CombineBeamAndVBraceClipAngles

applies when this end of this beam has a clip angle connection and a vertical brace frames to this beam and to the same column that this beam frames to. In such a framing situation, connection design can create one or two pairs of clip angles.

Automatic specifies that connection design apply the choice made to Fabricator Setup > Standard Fabricator Connections > Clip Angle Setup > "Combine beam and vertical brace clip angles."

Yes instructs connection design to create a single pair of clip angles that connects both the beam and vertical brace gusset plate to the column. The clip angles use the "NM bolt diameter" and "NM bolt type to supported" and "NM bolt type to supporting" that are set for the beam.

No instructs connection design to create two separate pairs of clip angles, one pair to connect the beam to the column, the other pair to connect the vertical brace gusset plate to the column.

Declaration

public AutomaticYesNo CombineBeamAndVBraceClipAngles { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
AutomaticYesNo

EmbedLocation

can apply when a beam frames to a concrete wall and the beam's "Input connection type" is 'Clip angle' and an "Embed schedule entry" has been made in the " Connection type" leaf. The option can also be found in Job Setup > Auto Standard Connections and in Job Setup > User Defined Connections.

Automatic instructs connection design to apply the choice made to Concrete Setup > Embed Schedule > "Plate location."

InsideWall embeds the plate in the concrete wall.

OutsideWall locates the plate flush to the wall.

Declaration

public EmbedLocation EmbedLocation { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EmbedLocation

ExtendPastFlange

can apply to a clip angle on a beam framing to a column. Regardless of the choice made here, " Web Extension Plate" the system locks are available. These locks have null values (distances of 0) if a web extehension plate is not required and when 'Never' is specified.

FlangePlatesOn

applies only for moment connections.

This specifies which of the two connections that share flange plates will get the plates. Either the beam where the connection is on the right end, or the beam where the connection is on the left end. Both connections should have the same value for this.

Declaration

public RightOrLeftEnd FlangePlatesOn { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
RightOrLeftEnd

Remarks

This does not take swapped member ends into account

Gage

Specify whether this is a heavy, wide, or narrow gage clip

Declaration

public ClipAngleGage Gage { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ClipAngleGage

IsFullDepthTee

If true, the system creates a built-up tee that is the full depth of the supporting beam.

If false, the built-up tee is designed to the depth of the connection if the top and bottom flanges of the supported beam (this beam) are entirely below or entirely above the half-depth of the supporting beam. If the depth of the supported beam is greater than half the depth of the supporting beam, the built-up tee is designed to the full depth of the supporting beam.

Declaration

public bool IsFullDepthTee { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

IsWeldedExtendedTee

can apply to a wide flange, welded plate wide flange or channel beam with a clip angle connection framing perpendicular or sloping to a supporting beam.

If true, generates a built-up tee (two plates welded together) for the clip angles to bolt to. The check box for "Full depth extended tee" controls (for some framing situations) whether the tee will be designed to the depth of the connection or to the full depth of the supporting beam.

Declaration

public bool IsWeldedExtendedTee { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

ReplaceDoublerWithLargerClip

If true, and web doublers are required, connection design looks for an angle in Fabricator Setup > Standard Fabricator Connections > Angles. If an angle is not found, the system fails the connection, and the Beam Edit window displays the following failure message: Option to replace web doubler with large clip L fails.

Declaration

public bool ReplaceDoublerWithLargerClip { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Side

Which side of the supported member to put clip angles on, or both.

Declaration

public ClipAngleSide Side { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ClipAngleSide

SkewHolesInAngle

applies to bolted clip angles on sloping beams when the box is checked for Fabricator Setup > Member Detailing Settings.

the "Beams" section > " Square cut ends of sloped beams."

Automatic specifies that connection design apply the choice made to Fabricator Setup > Standard Fabricator Connections > Clip Angle Setup > "Skew holes in clip angles."

Yes instructs the system to create clip angles with bolts skewed in the leg to the supported beam's web so that the bolts run perpendicular to the beam's flanges.

No instructs the system to create clip angles with bolts that run parallel to the length of the angle.

Declaration

public AutomaticYesNo SkewHolesInAngle { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
AutomaticYesNo

Stagger

See documentation on the returned ClipAngleStagger enumeration

Declaration

public ClipAngleStagger Stagger { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ClipAngleStagger

UseErectionBolts

applies when both "Attachment to supported" and "Attachment to supporting" are set to 'Welded.' In other words, it applies to all-welded clip angles.

Automatic specifies that connection design apply the choice made to Fabricator Setup > Standard Fabricator Connections > Attached to Supporting Member > "Provide erection bolts" If "Attached to" (on this window) is set to 'Supporting.' If "Attached to" is set to 'Supported,' then connection design applies the choice made to Fabricator Setup > Standard Fabricator Connections > Attached to Supported Member > "Provide erection bolts."

Yes instructs connection design to design the welded-welded double clip angle connection with erection bolts to facilitate the field welding of the connection. The erection bolts are field bolts. For a beam end connection that is not auto standard, the bolts are the " Connection type" > "NM bolt type to supporting" (or "NM bolt type to supported") and "NM bolt diameter" that are specified for that beam connection's end. For an auto standard beam connection, the bolts are the "NM bolt type" and "NM bolt diameter" that are specified for the relevant framing condition in Fabricator Setup > Auto Standard Connections. If the welded-welded clip angle shop welds to the supporting, two erection bolts are provided. If it shop welds to the supported, four erection bolts are provided, two for the NS OSL, two for the FS OSL.

No instructs connection design to design the welded-welded double clip angle without erection bolts.

Declaration

public AutomaticYesNo UseErectionBolts { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
AutomaticYesNo

UseExpandedVerticalBoltSpacing

can apply to a beam with clip angles to a beam or column so long as the "Moment type" is set to 'Non-moment' in the beam end's " Moment" leaf.

Automatic specifies that connection design apply the choice made to Fabricator Setup > Standard Fabricator Connections > Clip Angle Setup > "Use expanded vertical bolt spacing."

Yes permits connection design to expand the vertical spacing of bolts to 1.5 times or 2 times the Fabricator Setup > Connection Detailing/Fabricator Options > "Bolt spacing" that is set per bolt diameter. The program may also adjust to a spacing other than 1.5 or 2 times the standard bolt spacing in order to accommodate piecemarking issues, loading conditions and unusual geometries.

No instructs connection design to use the Fabricator Setup > Connection Erectability Settings > "Bolt spacing" that is set per bolt diameter.

Declaration

public AutomaticYesNo UseExpandedVerticalBoltSpacing { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
AutomaticYesNo

UsePaddlePlate

applies when an HSS/TS beam frames to a column or a beam. It permits the design of bolted-bolted or bolted-welded clip angles. The option is disabled (grayed out) when -- here in " Connection specifications" -- the clip angle's "Attachment to supported" is set to 'Welded.'

If true, the clip angles weld or bolt to the supporting member and bolt to the paddle plate, which shop welds to the supported beam. The end of the supported beam is notched for insertion of the paddle plate.

If false, the clip angles attach to the outside walls of the supported HSS rectangular beam.

Declaration

public bool UsePaddlePlate { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

UseSafetyConnection

applies to clip angles on two opposing beams on opposite sides of a supporting web (beam or column) so that the clip angle connections on both supported beams share bolts.

If true, specifies that the clip angles be designed so that one bolt on each angle is shared by the beam and column but not shared by the clip angle of the opposing beam. Whether the clip angles on a beam are vertically offset with respect to the angles on the opposing beam or staggered with respect to each other depends on the choice made to Fabricator Setup > Clip Angle Settings

"Safety connection angles."
