Clash between back-up bar and bottom flange for moment connections.

Posted Sat, 20 Feb 2010 08:16:32 GMT by Bart ROHAL Steel Detailing Online Inc President/steel detailer

V2010:
When creating a welded moment (beam to column) & welding flanges from top, the bottom back-up bar clashes into bottom flange resulting in a clash report for every moment connection. Can you test and verify?
thanks...

The moment end plate is not cutting the beam to the flange of the column as is intended to use this joint in combination with another one for a beam to column connection (e.g. : Clip angle ), and this joint will do the cut.

Dumitru,
Regardless what is intended to the bottom back-up bar clashes into bottom flange. I run into the same problem. I think this should be fixed by Graitec.
