Outrigger Components
Outrigger (Angles) v2
TYPE: DETAIL
This detail can be used to support pour stops (also known as deck closure plates, secrete angles, and edge angles). Primarily those that are NOT a short distance off the CL of the supporting member.
This detail adds 2 angles (1 horizontal and 1 sloping) perpendicular to the supporting member. This detail also adds 2 tab plates - a NS one to support the sloping angle and a FS one for a field welded kicker (or knee) brace often used in these situations. Dialog fields are available to control: the length of the horizontal angle, the position of the sloping angle, the size, name, finish, & class of the 2 angles & the 2 tab plates, the size of the notch at the top flange (if option 1 is chosen), the top k-distance area corner clipping option (if option 1 is chosen), the bottom (both NS and FS) k-distance area corner clipping options, and up to 5 welds.
In v2 of this component you can now control the direction of the horizontal angle and if the horizontal angle is unequal, you can set with leg is the long leg (LLH vs. LLV).
Parts created
- Support Angles (1 horizontal, 1 sloping)
- Tab plates (1 NS, 1 FS)
- Welds (up to 5)
Where to use
Full Horizontal Angle
Choosing this option generates a horizontal angle with full underside support for the pour stop. This option includes control over the size of the notch and control over the clip corner located at the top k-distance area. Other fields can be found in the dialog box for controlling: the length of the horizontal angle, the position of the sloping angle, the size, name, finish, & class of the 2 angles & the 2 tab plates, and separate control over the bottom 2 (NS & FS) k-distance areas. This detail also provides 5 welds: for the horizontal angle to the supporting member, for the tab plates to the supporting member (2 total), and for the sloping angle to the NS tab & to the horizontal angle.
Partial Horizontal Angle
Before you start
Create the following parts:
- Beam (WF or channel profile)
- Reference point (can also use precision input or construction lines.)
1. Primary Beam
2. Reference point
Outrigger (Plate) - Back to top
TYPE: DETAIL
This detail can be used to support pour stops (also known as deck closure plates, secrete angles, and edge angles). Primarily those that are a short distance off the CL of the supporting member.
This detail adds a contour plate 90° off a beam. This plate can be full depth or user-defined. Dialog fields are available to control: the shape, name, finish & class of the plate, the size of the notch, top and bottom clip corner options, and up to 3 welds.
Parts created
- Contour plate
- Welds (up to 3)
Where to use
Full Depth
Choosing this option generates a full depth contour plate. Fields can be found in the dialog box for controlling: the shape, name, finish, & class of the plate, the size of the notch and separate control over the top and bottom k-distance areas. This plate also can be welded to the under side of the top flange, the top side of the bottom flange, and/or to the web.
Partial Depth
Choosing this option generates a contour plate with the depth user-defined. Fields can be found in the dialog box for controlling: the shape, name, finish, & class of the plate, the size of the notch and control over the top k-distance area. This plate also can be welded to the under side of the top flange, and/or to the web.
Before you start
Create the following parts:
- Beam (WF or channel profile)
- Reference point (can also use precision input or construction lines.)
Picking order
1. Primary Beam
2. Reference point
