Double Tee Top End Detail

Purpose and description

This detail type extension creates two fastening plates on the rib location in the end of a double tee beam. 

When the building is not rectangular, the most commonly used practice is to make double tee beams narrow at the other end and use the full width in the other. When there are several double tee beams like this next to each other, the fastening plates are not anymore next to each other as the double tee beam widths are varying.

The extension is also used by the other extension “Double Tee Top End Connection”.

The extension is designed to work with standard double tee beam (parametric TT profile), precast element manufacturer Parma parametric TEKSLAB profile and precast element manufacturer Luja parametric SUPERTT profile.

Using Double Tee Top End Detail

The connection can be created from Component catalog. The connection name is “Double Tee Top End Detail”. After starting the connection:
