Connection Type - Beam-Beam and Column-Beam (CM66 and Eurocode 3)

For the CM66 and Eurocode 3 (ENV 1993-1-1:1992) codes, the following types of connections with the front plate are available: beam-beam, column-beam, and column-beam (double-sided).

For Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-8:2005), the following types of connections with the front plate are available: beam-beam and column-beam (see also Scope of calculations) .

Parameters defined for the beam-beam connection
