Transverse welds locally weaken a member and can thus have a large impact on the Combined Section/Stability Check. They can be defined as additional data.
Name |
Specifies the name of the data. |
Weld method |
MIG MIG – method (MIG : Metal Inert Gas welding) TIG TIG – method (TIG : Tungsten Inert Gas welding) |
The user can select the appropriate welding material. |
|
Temperature |
Default: 60°C. Input between 60 – 120 °C. Note: The unit used in the dialogue depends on user-made settings in Setup > Units. More information can be found in EN 1999-1-1:2007 article 6.1.6.3. |
Note: The definition of the Number of heat paths is not required here. Heat paths are specifically used for fillet welds, i.e. welds between for example two plates with an angle of 90° between each other. However Transverse welds are by definition always butt welds, i.e. welds between for example two plates with an angle of 0° between each other.
More information can be found in EN 1999-1-1:2007 article 6.1.6.3.
This group of parameters specifies the position(s) of transverse weld(s) on a 1D member.
Open service Aluminium:
either using tree menu function Aluminium,
or using menu function Tree > Aluminium.
Select function Beams >Stability Check Data > Transverse welds and open it.
Confirm with [OK].
Select the member where the data are to be defined.
End the function.
HAZ zones are taken into account for the scaffolding aluminium check. The value for the yield strength fy is taken as (i) f0 in case the section is not located in a HAZ zone and (ii) f0,HAZ otherwise.
The transverse weld is considered as a weld across the cross-section, i.e. the entire section is subjected to the influence of the weld. This is in conformity with EN 1999-1-1 article 6.3.3.3 (5).
