Maximum Distance Between Intermittent Fillet Welds per AISC Section E6.1(b)

Maximum distance between the intermittent fillet welds according to AISC Section E6.1(b)

ri = IxiAi = 0.0352 in43.0 in2 = 0.108 in
amax = 40 ri = 40 · 0.108 in = 4.33 in → use 4.0 in

ri

Radius of gyration of (1) plate

Ixi

bt3/12 = [(8.0in) . (0.375in)3]/12 =0.0352in4 (one plate)

Ai

Area of (1) plate = t w = (0.375in)(8in) = 3.0in2

amax

Maximum distance between the intermittent fillet welds

KB 001824 | Distortional Buckling Design of Bottom Flange of Steel Frame Beam According to GB
When a concrete slab is set upon the top flange, its effect is like a lateral support (composite construction), preventing problems of torsional buckling stability. If there is a negative distribution of the bending moment, the bottom flange is subjected to compression and the top flange is under tension. If the lateral support provided by the stiffness of the web is insufficient, the angle between the bottom flange and the web intersection line is variable, so there is a possibility of distortional buckling of the bottom flange.
KB 001840 | Fire Resistance Design of Steel Components with Hot-Dip Galvanizing in RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9
With the Steel Design add-on, you can design steel components for fire situations using the simple design methods according to Eurocode 3. The component temperature at the time of the design check can be determined automatically according to the temperature-time curves specified in the standard. In addition to considering fire protection cladding, you can take into account the advantageous properties of hot-dip galvanization.
KB 001782 | SJI Virtual Joists
The Steel Joist Institute (SJI) previously developed Virtual Joist tables to estimate the section properties for Open Web Steel Joists. These Virtual Joist sections are characterized as equivalent wide-flange beams which closely approximate the joist chord area, effective moment of inertia, and weight. Virtual Joists are also available in the RFEM and RSTAB cross-section database.

Feature 002916 | Joint-Structure Interaction for Steel Joints

Want to automatically consider steel joint stiffness in your global RFEM model? Utilize the Steel Joints add-on!

Activate joint-structure interaction in the stiffness analysis of your steel joints. Hinges with springs are then automatically generated in the global model and included in subsequent calculations.

Feature 002820 | Limit Plastic Strain for Welds

In the ultimate configuration of the steel joint design, you have the option to modify the limit plastic strain for welds.

Component "Base Plate"

The "Base Plate" component allows you to design base plate connections with cast-in anchors. In this case, plates, welds, anchorages, and steel-concrete interaction are analyzed.

Feature 002807 | 3D Display of FSM Results

In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is it possible to consider shear panels and rotational restraints in the global calculation?
How can I perform member design by case for different settings in the design configuration?
How can I reduce the calculation time for members with a nonlinear material model in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9?

How can I define a plastic hinge in RFEM 6?
How can I generate an area load on members via cells in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9?
In the Steel Design add-on, I have set the boundary conditions in such a way that the I-beam flange is restrained against the horizontal displacement. I then calculated the critical load factors using the Structure Stability add-on, but with no effect on the critical load factor value. What is the reason for this?
