Minimum Pocket Depth for Coloumns
What is the minimum pocket depth required for rebated coloumns
The minimum washer size is 3 mm. This could be different. If nothing is mentioned use 3 mm.
The minimum bolt stick out should be 1 pitch. For M20 it is 2.5 mm. Use 10 mm stick out.
Also there is grout. Pockets when cast could be of different depths. Use design grout of 15 mm minimum.
The top of the bolt should be 35 mm below slab level to prevent concrete Cracking.
Hence to be practical use 100 mm pocket depth with a base plate thickness of 16 mm and bolt size of 20 mm.

STAGGERED FERRULES PLACEMENT ON PRECAST PANEL

The design drawings for one of our Precast Project we were working on suggests ferrules must be placed staggered as noted below. The Problem: However, these casting components, such as ferrules cannot be placed on both sides of a precast panel with a thickness of less than 250mm. This mainly causes ferrules to clash along…

Advanced Steel Tool – Convert AutoCAD lines to Advanced Steel Beams
Why bother with this tool? Because drawing Advanced Steel Beams is very cumbersome. If you have a CSV file you can draw AutoCAD lines and conver them with a fairly simple macro. Everything is open sourced, so you can fork or submit a PR if you require. Here is a video demonstrating this: If you…

How to programmatically create bolt list reports from selected model objects (Tekla Open API)
Reports can be generated fairly easily, manually. But how do you do it programmatically using the Tekla Open API? Please see below for a code sample: Programmatically Extracting Report Values Now, if you want to generate the values programmatically, in memory, and then process them somehow into an excel output, consider the following code sample…

How to Create a Curved Beam using the Tekla Open API (c#)
The key to this is to specify a chamfer value, and at least three points using the PolyBeam class. You must also provide a profile type that Tekla understands – otherwise you’ll get a bunch of straight lines. Here’s some basic code to get you started: You should be able to easily import, into Tekla,…
