Haunches

This window can be used for the input of haunches for beam or column. The haunches increase the stiffness of the connection. The input of haunches for top and bottom (or left and right) flanges is divided into two tabs. Haunches can be specified including the flange. Following dimensions have to be specified:

tw

  • The thickness of haunch web

hw

  • The height of haunch

Lw

  • The total length of haunch

tf

  • The thickness of haunch flange (only for haunch with flange)

bf

  • The width of haunch flange (only for haunch with flange)

Lf

  • The length of straight flange

aw

  • The weld thickness

If the setting "Assign stiffener to haunch flange" is switched on, the corresponding column stiffener is automatically placed into the position of haunch flange. Otherwise, the stiffener remains in the position of beam flange.

The button "Copy to..." copies the haunch properties from one side of beam or column to another one.
