  • Minimum Pocket Depth for Coloumns

    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.

      This is going to be a concise, high value and pithy course on the Tekla Open API. You may find other courses out there that boast about: 50+ hours. That might work well for them and their students, but almost everything you need to know can be boiled down to a few simple concepts. Especially…

    • Introduction – Setting up your Environment (Tekla Open API Course)

      This is a course on how to program using Tekla’s Open API. We will start from the very beginning and get into some complicated topics. These are the principles I use when developing Tekla API applications. The following posts a video tutorial on how to get started using the Tekla Open API. The first thing…

    • The Code Behind the Shed Builder Application – via Tekla’s Open API

      The Code Behind the Shed Builder As promised, here are the key methods behind the ShedBuilder: I have separate classes – e.g. Facia, Column, Chord, Girt etc. to better represent the concepts and the interplay between all the items – and then I simply tie them all together to get the output that I want,…

    • How to Automate the Modelling of Sheds (using Tekla’s Open API)

      The way of the future is automation. Use the Tekla API to automate the modelling of items that are relatively standardised – e.g. sheds, or warehouses etc. The following is a program we putting into production re: the detailing of Sheds. If the designs can be standardized, you can turbo-charge the detailing / design. You…

    • How to extract Properties from Tekla Profiles (Tekla Open API)

      You have a profile e.g. “CC200755.0″ obtained via the Tekla API. How can you extract it’s HEIGHT or WIDTH or other parameters (or properties) such as density? The Tekla Documentation is not good on this point, and it took me some time to find this out. I have documented the methodology, so hopefully that will…
