    Constructors

    BearingSpecification()

    A bearing connection specification

    Declaration
    public BearingSpecification()

    Properties

    AllowWashersOnShoeSlots

    If Yes, then allow long slot holes to be added to the plates on the joist. If Automatic, then this is determined by settings in setup

    Declaration
    public AutomaticYesNo AllowWashersOnShoeSlots { get; set; }
    Property Value
    Type Description
    AutomaticYesNo

    BottomChordEmbed

    The embed plate used for this bearing connection

    Declaration
    public Embed BottomChordEmbed { get; set; }
    Property Value
    Type Description
    Embed

    BottomChordEmbedLocation

    Automatic specifies that the system apply a setup choice (Concrete Setup > Embed Schedule > "Plate location"). That setup choice sets whether the plate is located inside the concrete wall or flush to the surface of the wall.

             InsideWall embeds the plate in the concrete wall or tilt-up panel.
    
             OutsideWall locates the plate flush to the wall or panel.
    
    Declaration
    public EmbedLocation BottomChordEmbedLocation { get; set; }
    Property Value
    Type Description
    EmbedLocation

    ChordToSupport

    Bolted instructs the system to add holes and bolts to the beam flange for bolting the joist to the flange. The holes are included on the beam's member detail. The bolts can be included on Field Bolt reports and, optionally, on the beam's bill of material. The "Input elevation" of the joist must be the elevation of the beam's top flange in order for holes to be generated. The distance between the two holes is the "Top chord gage" entered in the local material file. The choice made to "Wide flange beams, alternative gage for joist connections" or "Channel beams, alternative gage for joist connections" in Fabricator Setup > Standard Fabricator Connections > Joist Setup set the placement of the holes with respect to the center of the beam web. Hole size is set using the "NM bolt diameter" in the " Connection type" leaf on this window.

            Welded sets the joist to be field welded. A 3D field weld is not
            generated. The design calculations note, "Joist end welded to
            supporting member."
    
    Declaration
    public AttachmentMethod ChordToSupport { get; set; }
    Property Value
    Type Description
    AttachmentMethod

    ExtendBottomChord

    If true, the bottom chord of the joist is extended and "Bottom chord" is set to ' Auto' so that the appropriate field clearance is applied. "Stabilizing material" is optional.

             If false, you can still apply a "Bottom chord" setback to get a
             bottom chord. However, "Stabilizing material" cannot be
             applied.
    
    Declaration
    public bool ExtendBottomChord { get; set; }
    Property Value
    Type Description
    bool

    StabilizingMaterial

    None results in no joist bottom chord stabilizing material being created by the system.

             Angle instructs the system to use the Fabricator Setup > Standard
             Fabricator Connections > "Bottom chord extension seat angle" as
             the angle seat for the extended bottom chord.
    
             Plate instructs the system to use the Fabricator Setup >
             Standard Fabricator Connections > "Bottom chord extension plate"
             as the stabilizing material for the extended bottom chord. Per
             the OSHA standard, the plate includes a 13/16 inch (21 mm) hole
             (click here) for guying or plumbing cables. The hole is placed 1
             1/2 inch from the bottom edge and joist edge of the plate.
    
    Declaration
    public JoistStabilizingMaterial StabilizingMaterial { get; set; }
    Property Value
    Type Description
    JoistStabilizingMaterial
    Remarks

    Only valid of ExtendBottomChord is true

    TopChordEmbed

    The embed plate used for this bearing connection

    Declaration
    public Embed TopChordEmbed { get; set; }
    Property Value
    Type Description
    Embed

    UseErectionHole

    Automatic instructs the system to use the entry ('Yes' or 'No') that is made to the relevant cell in Fabricator Setup > Standard Fabricator Connections > Joist Setup > "Use erection hole" on the "Joist type specific settings" table. That setup table can configure an erection hole to be used or not used on a per-joist-type basis.

            Yes instructs the system to add a hole for guying or plumbing
            cables to the bottom chord stabilizer plate. Per OSHA, the hole
            is placed 1 1/2 inch from the bottom edge and joist edge of the
            plate. A connection design lock for specifying the "Erection hole
            diameter" is made available in the " Joist Stabilizer Plate"
            leaf.
    
            No instructs the system to not add an erection hole.
    
    Declaration
    public AutomaticYesNo UseErectionHole { get; set; }
    Property Value
    Type Description
    AutomaticYesNo
    Remarks

    Only valid if StabilizingMaterial is set to Plate

    UseVerticalStabilizerAngle

    If true, the bottom chord stabilizer angle is oriented with both legs vertical. That angle is vertically centered with respect to the bottom of the joist bottom chord.

            If false, the stabilizer angle is oriented so that one leg is
            horizontal so that it can support the joist bottom chord.
    
    Declaration
    public bool UseVerticalStabilizerAngle { get; set; }
    Property Value
    Type Description
    bool
    Remarks

    Only valid if StabilizingMaterial is set to Angle
