In current construction design, joints are often used between concrete and steel elements. Advance Steel provides predefined joints between these types of elements, covering and completing the whole Connection Vault.
The Embed Beam Seat joint can be used between any types of concrete elements (wall, slab, column, foundation and beam) and some of the steel sections (I, T, C, L, Hollow rectangular/square, welded, compound or tapered sections).
You can successfully use this joint to anchor steel stairs in concrete slabs, to anchor cantilevers, to stiffen walls with steel beams or to support steel beams on concrete columns.
The Embed Plate-ClipAngle joint can be used only between specific types of concrete elements (wall, slab, beam) and some of the steel sections (I, T, C, L, welded, compound or tapered sections).
You can successfully use this joint for all types of steel stairs which are anchored in concrete, intermediate landings and different industrial constructions.
To create either of the two joints between a steel element and a concrete element:
- Open the Connection Vault.
- From the Miscellaneous joints category select the Embed Beam Seat/ Embed Plate-ClipAngle joint.
- First select the steel section.
- If necessary, select an additional element (beam/wall/slab/column/foundation): on the command line, type Y (Yes) and press Enter.
- Select the concrete element.
After you complete the selection, the joint is created and the properties window appears. In this window you can configure the joint as you need.
