JP Full depth special (185)

JP Full depth special (185) connects two beams with a full depth shear tab. The shear tab is welded to the main beam web and flanges, and bolted to the secondary beam web. The secondary beam can be leveled or sloped. A stiffener plate can be created on the opposite side of the main beam web.

Objects created

  • Shear tabs (1 or 2)

  • Stiffener (optional)

  • Bolts

  • Welds

The selected check boxes define which component objects (bolt, washers, and nuts) are used in the bolt assembly.

If you want to create a hole only, clear all the check boxes.

To modify the bolt assembly in an existing component, select the Effect in modify check box and click Modify.
