Design options
The design options for welded and bolted connections may be configured in the Options
menu
(Joints > Options). This dialogue box can be accessed via the following menu
options:
In CYPECAD and its Integrated 3D structures:

Beam Definition tab > Job > Joint analysis options
Results tab > Joints > Joint analysis options
In CYPE 3D:
Joints > Options
This dialogue box contains three tabs:
Non-prestressed bolts
Contains the design options for non-prestressed bolts (Bolt series code, Bolt
steel class
and Available diameters). Options selected here will only affect bolted
connection design.
Prestressed bolts
Contains the design options for prestressed bolts (Bolt series code, Bolt steel
class, Available
diameters and Friction surface class). Additionally, the type of
friction
surface must be indicated to check the bolt for slipping. Within this
dialogue, the program
also defines the properties of the selected surface in
accordance with the article of the
selected code. Options selected here will only
affect bolted connection design.
Stiffeners
Contains two option groups which configure the layout of the stiffeners:
Stiffeners at haunch ends
Contains two options which when activated force the program to always
provide stiffeners,
one in column to beam connections and the other in
ridge connections. Affects welded connections
designed with the Joints I
module and bolted connections designed with the Joints
II module.
Regardless of whether this option is activated or not, the program always provides stiffeners
at the ends of
the haunches if the design requires their presence.
Stiffeners for beams fixed to the column web

Activates the trimming of stiffeners for beams fixed to column webs. It only affects welded
connections
designed with the Joints
III module and bolted connections using the Joints
IV module (the other modules
do not contemplate
connections consisting of beams fixed to column webs).
This option does not imply changes

in the structural check but only takes into account aspects related to
the aesthetics and
with the number of trimming operations undertaken in the fabrication process. Upon
activating
the trimming option, it will be carried out if the following conditions are met:
The smallest side of the trim has to be greater than 10mm.
The angle formed between the inclined side of the trim and the plane perpendicular to the web has
to be greater than 15 degrees.
Prestressed and non-prestressed bolted connections

CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and Integrated 3D structures of CYPECAD allow bolted connections to
be
designed using prestressed or non-prestressed bolts. This option is located in the
Analysis
menu (Analysis > Analyse) or in the joints design dialogue box (Joints > Analyse).
When
the structure is analysed taking into account seismic
effects, the program either recommends
or imposes the use
of prestressed bolts depending on the selected seismic
code. If the code
states the use of prestressed bolts is
obligatory, the program selects this option and does
not
allow for it to be deactivated. If the seismic code does not
state it is compulsory to
use prestressed bolts, the program
reminds the user it is advisable to use these as is
recommended
by Eurocode 8.
When bolted connections are used, the program also indicates the friction surface
class to
be used in case that selected by the user in the design options is not adequate.
If the warnings are not taken into account by the user, it is possible for the prestressed
bolted connection to not be
designed by the program. In this case, when the user consults
the joints after the analysis, the program indicates as errors
the reasons why the design
has not been carried out.
Bolted connection design

General properties
If during the analysis process of the structure, nodes are detected whose configuration
is adjusted to those types resolved
by the program, they will be designed and detail drawings,
3D views, code check reports and take-off of these designs will
be provided.
The program designs the dimensions of the plates and stiffeners, the optimum number and
layout of the bolts and the
throat thicknesses of the welds required for the correct stress
transmission in the connection.
The program designs the bolted connections using a front plate or a lateral plate:
Moment connections using front plate. This type of solution is used

by the program for fixed connections
between beams and columns, for element splices and
ridge beam connections.
Simple connections using lateral plates. This type of solution is used

by the program for pinned connections
between beams and column webs or flanges, and webs
of other beams (secondary beams).
Simple connections using front plates. This type of solution is used

by the program for beams supported at
column ends forming a pinned connection.
Non-deformable bar ends

When welded or bolted connections are designed, or when the structure is analysed together
with the joints, the program
carries out, at each node of the job, the spatial layout of
the bars and its fixity conditions in such a way that, for steel bars,
the dimensions of
the nodes are established and generates the rigid ends in which the portions of the bars
are considered
to not deform due to them being contained within the node.
Rotational stiffnesses at element ends

The program allows for fixity coefficients xy and xz or rotational
stiffnesses
to be assigned to bar ends (bars or set of aligned bars forming one
element).
Defining the rotational stiffness allows for the joints to be modelled and whereby
their stiffness to rotate is fundamental to bear into account, as is in the case of
bolted
connections.
For each bolted connection that is designed, the program analyses (for all the
acting force
combinations) the rotational stiffness of the end of each fixed
element and
suggests a value with which the structure is to be reanalysed. The proposed stiffness will
be the smallest
amongst those calculated at each element end, which corresponds to the one
with the greatest positive or negative
moment.
After the analysis and for elements fixed to the bolted connections, if the user has not
defined the rotational stiffness or if
the introduced value differs in more than 20% from
that proposed by the program, a warning is emitted. This is also
displayed as a warning in
the report at the end of the analysis or in the option Show error
messages in the Analysis
menu.
Using the Rotational stiffnesses option in the Joints menu,

the user can manage and
substitute the values that were introduced instead of those proposed
by the program (at
the ends of elements with moment bolted connections provided by the program).
This
option activates a dialogue box with two possibilities:
Check the assigned rotational stiffness values
Displays the element ends whose rotational stiffnesses are adjusted to those proposed by
the program in green;
whilst those with a stiffness differing in more than 20% to that proposed
by the program are shown in red.
By placing the cursor over one of these element ends, the program
displays a tag with the
messages associated to that end and highlights in
blue all the element ends of the structure
that follow the same behaviour,
moment-rotation diagram and assigned rotational stiffness.
By selecting the end of the

desired
element, a dialogue box
is displayed containing
information on the type of fixity
assigned
to the end of the
element and the rotational
stiffness value proposed by the
program, as
well as the behaviour graph of the connection expressed by a
moment-rotation curve.
In this
dialogue box, the original values can be maintained or modified. If
they are modified,
all the elements of the same type will be affected
(those highlighted in blue when an end
was selected). This dialogue box also contains a help button ( icon)
in
which the criteria followed by the program to obtain the rotational stiffness proposed
by the user is thoroughly
explained.
Assign the proposed rotational stiffness value to all the elements

Automatically assigns the rotational stiffness values proposed by the program to all the following
element ends
(only at element ends fixed with bolted connections).

Those whose introduced rotational stiffness differs in more than 20% to that proposed.
Those for which the user has not indicated any rotational stiffness.

The program then allows to consult the element ends in the same way as is done using the Check
the assigned
rotational stiffness values option.
After assigning the rotational stiffnesses proposed by the program to the desired element
ends, the structure must be reanalysed so the new force distribution due
to the change
in the rotational stiffnesses can be taken into account. The program emits
a warning of this
situation.
Design criteria for prestressed bolted connections

The shear check in the transverse section of the bolts is substituted for an Ultimate Limit
State (U.L.S.) slip check in the
case of prestressed bolted connections and the tension and
slip interaction is analysed.
When the user activates seismic action for the analysis of the structure, the fixed prestressed
bolted connections are
designed for Failure Mode 1, i.e., failure will occur due to plastic
failure of the front plate of the connection and not due to
bolt failure. Therefore, when the
seismic action is taken into account, bolts are designed using greater diameters to
guarantee
enough rotation capacity.
Design of building welded connections

Joints IV in CYPECAD, Integrated 3D structures and CYPE 3D
As occurs with the Joints I and Joints II modules and Joints III module, the Joints
IV. Bolted – Building frames with
rolled and welded steel I sections module
designs the joints at floor level (with column transition) and at column ends.
In the
case of CYPE 3D and Integrated structures of CYPECAD, as the concept of floor level
does not exist, the joints may
be placed at an intermediate level of a column span
(continuous column) and at the connecting node between two
different column spans (a
transition plate between the two column spans is provided).
Depths of beams with simple or moment connections to columns

Elements with simple or moment
connections to columns can have differing depths.
Beam to column moment or simple connections

Sloped beams at joints with elements fixed to the column web and flanges

In this case, the beams may be inclined with respect to the horizontal plane if the
elevations of the top or bottom
beam flanges coincide at the cut-off point of the
joint.

Sloped beams at joints with elements fixed to the column flanges and pinned
to the column web
In this case, elements fixed to the columns may be inclined
with respect to the horizontal plane if the joint occurs
at the end of a column.
At floor level or at intermediate column spans, these beams must be horizontal. To
be able
to design these joints with sloped beams at any column span, the user license
must have the necessary permits to
be able to use the Joints II module.
Beam to column moment connections

Using the Joints IV module, joints consisting of beams fixed to the column web and flanges
can be designed.
Beams fixed to column flanges
Stiffeners
Stiffeners are always provided in correspondence with all the flanges.
When the elevation

difference between the beam flanges which are to be fixed to the column flanges
is
small, a stiffener cannot be welded correctly to each flange. In these cases, the
Joints IV module may
design the joints using two construction solutions:
A single horizontal stiffener between both flanges. This is used when the free distance
between the
column flanges is less than or equal to the thickness of the stiffener.
A inclined stiffener between the flanges. This is used when the free distance between
the beam
flanges is greater than the thickness of the stiffener and less than the
distance which allows for two
stiffeners (one for each flange) to be placed.
In these cases the user must bear in mind that the program does not allow for a
beam that is fixed
to the web to bear on an inclined stiffener.
Coplanar webs
The webs of the beams must be in the same plane as the column web
Haunches
The Joints IV module does not use haunches in its joint design, as they are not
usually used in building
frames. To be able to place haunches at elements fixed
to column flanges, using CYPE 3D or the Integrated
3D structures of CYPECAD, the
user license must have the necessary use permits for the Joints I (welded)
and Joints
II (bolted) modules.
Beams fixed to column webs

Beams fixed to column webs bear on front plates, which are connected to the web of the column by means of the
following welded elements:
Plate perpendicular to the column web which allows the beam to behave as a continuous element between
the front plate and the web of the column.
Stiffeners in correspondence with the flanges of the beam fixed to the column web or with the stiffeners
placed by the beams fixed to the column flanges.
Beam to column simple connections

The Joints IV module designs joints containing one or two elements pinned to the web of
a column if there is at least
another beam fixed to the one of the column flanges.
Moment connection between beams with coplanar webs

Using the Joints IV module, the fixed connection between two elements with coplanar webs
can be designed, as long as the
following conditions are met:
Two continuous elements (splice connections) in any direction and with the same depth.
One of the elements must be horizontal and the other inclined (ascending or descending).
The depths of the beams
must be the same.
No haunches are provided.
Joint consultation
Following the analysis, the joints that have been designed by the program can be consulted.
CYPE 3D and CYPECAD place different coloured circles at the nodes to indicate whether or
not all the connections of the
node have been designed, if there are only a few that have
been designed or if the node does not contain any designed
connections.
If the cursor is brought close to a node in which there are connections that have been designed,
an information window will
appear indicating the types of connections designed for that node.
By clicking on the node a dialogue box with three tabs is
displayed containing the following
information:
The construction details of the resolved connections
A report of the checks and take-off of the resolved connections
Real 3D views of the connections. It is possible to visualise a 3D view of each connection

designed by the program
with an isometric or conical perspective. The elements making up
the joint (columns, beams, stiffeners, welds,
bolts and plates) are drawn in different
colours. Prestressed bolts and non-prestressed bolts are also represented in
two colours
to differentiate between them. The user may also freely rotate and amplify the 3D view.
These
characteristics greatly help the user to understand the assembly of the joint. The
3D view of the joints can be
visualised by selecting the 3D view tab that appears in the
bottom part of the window that is activated upon
consulting the joint.
If the cursor is brought close to a node in which there are no designed connections,
but belongs to one of the connections
recognised by the program, a window appears informing
of the causes that have prevented that joint from being designed.
Even if the user license has not

acquired the joints modules, the
program allows the
user to activate the
joint design process. Once the process
has concluded, the user can
see the 3D
views of the joints that could be
resolved with the non-acquired
modules, even
though neither the joint
details, check reports nor take-off
reports are displayed. When
the cursor
is placed over one of these nodes, a
warning appears indicating the non-
acquired
modules used to design the
joint.
Baseplates designed using the Joints IV module

The Joints IV. Bolted – Building frames with rolled and welded steel I sections designs
baseplates on footings,
piles and mat foundations.
The Joints IV module also designs the baseplate connection

points of integrated 3D structures, if these are located
on footings, pile
caps, slabs, shear walls, walls, concrete columns or beams (in the case of these last
four elements, they
are designed if no other steel beams or steel bars of the integrated
3D structures connect at that node).
The designed baseplate properties include:
Type of baseplate: rolled and welded steel I section baseplates

are designed
Welds: Includes the analysis and design of plate, stiffener, column

and bolt welds.
Automatic match: Automatically matches the baseplates of the same

job (bearing in mind the type of section, the
forces and external fixities). This way
and without the user having to intervene, the number of different types of
plates is
reduced, obtaining more uniform results.
3D view with colour representation of the elements and welds: A

3D view can be seen on screen whereby
the plate, column, stiffeners, bolts, welds carried
out on site and in the workshop are displayed in different colours,
in the same way
as with I section connections. This helps to obtain a better understanding on how the
support is
assembled.
Baseplate details: Baseplate details are generated in which the

design weld details are displayed as well as those
corresponding to the stiffeners.
These details can be included in the job drawings.
Code check and takeoff reports: Code check and takeoff reports of
the baseplates are generated, integrated
with the rest of the designed connections.
More information on baseplate design can be found in the Baseplate

section of CYPE 3D.
