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…

Tekla API Move Object – Mutates Points Without Telling me!
Yet another Tekla API gotcha. If you wanna waste many hours wondering why your code doesn’t work – try the Tekla API! Here is a note for the benefit of the public – where they mutate objects – which SHOULD NOT be mutated. Perhaps they have their own reasons, but the general boy-scount principle(s) should…

FromCoordinateSystem and ToCoordinateSystem Explained (Tekla Open API)
The documentation of the Tekla API – IMO is inadequate. That is why we need supplemental explanations and code samples. Here is another example that hopefully benefits the community. I have written a bunch of extension methods (Tekla.ExtensionMethods) that would hopefully simplify a lot of the headaches associated with using the API. This is already…
