Creating steel connections

Tests:

Total score:

In this lesson, you will learn how to model steel connections and details. You will learn how to add base plates to columns, connections between beams and columns with eaves haunches, and between beams with apex haunches.

Key term	Definition
Connection	Connection components connect two or more parts, and create all the required objects such as cuts, fittings, parts, bolts, and welds. For example, end plates, clip angles, and bolted gussets are connections.
Detail	Detail components add a detail or a reinforcement to the main part. A detail is only connected to one part. For example, stiffeners, base plates, and lifting hooks are steel details, and beam reinforcement and pad footing reinforcement are concrete details.
Base plate	A plate welded to a column base. Base plates are used to distribute the concentrated load of the column over a wider area.
Haunch	A wedge-like structure that strengthens a beam at its end.
