Steel Connection Design Software, Portal Frame Connection design Master. Key. Moment and Simple Connections. The design of structural steel moment simple connections in portal and multi storey frames to Eurocode 3 and  BS 5. Master. Key Moment and Simple Connections are the UKs two leading software programs for the design of structural steel connections. The powerful editing facilities and the optional automatic design, enable the software to design and draft multi storey and portal frame connections with maximum speed, economy, and accuracy. The softwares user friendly graphical input enables rapid optimisation of the structural design under the full control of the Engineer. Quickly review existing steel connections and automatically or interactively design new connections. Master. Key Moment and Simple Connections function fully as Stand Alone or Integrated software packages. In Stand Alone mode joints are designed based on user entered geometry and forces. Running inside Master. Frame or Master. Port in Integrated Mode these values are seamlessly transferred from the analysis model giving you maximum speed, economy, and accuracy as well as flexibility of design. Inbuilt libraries of British, European, American, South African Chinese sections.

SOFTWARE GENERAL FEATURESPortal and multi storey frame connections. Multiple loading cases including moment reversal. Intelligent automatic design enables you to rapidly optimise your connections. Freedom to change and refine automatically designed connections. Automatic updating of Graphics and Design Output with every keystroke for full control over the design process. All failures are highlighted graphically toenable easy correction and optimisation. Civil Engineering Design 1 3 Dr. C. Caprani 1. Elastic Methods 1.

Dimensions are checked for lack of fit, edge distances and bolt centres etc, preventing the design of bad joints. Consideration of un braced multistorey frames to the Green bookMany input defaults including weld sizes and bolt cross centres. These are based on detailing recommended values. Welds can be fillet, deep penetration fillet, fillet with partial penetration butt weld or full penetration butt weld. Standard joint configurations can be stored for retrieval and amendment thus removing repetitive input and standardise details. All connection types are for I sections with design for other section profiles such as Hollow sections and Channels covered in particular joint types, as specifically indicated. Dynamic links from Master. Frame and Master. Port provide fully integrated analysis and design thus reducing design time and eradicating information transfer errors from one process to the next.

MOMENT CONNECTIONSThe Software covers the Design of 6 generic types of Moment Connections Eaves type beam to column flange connections. Apex type beam to beam connections. Stiffened and un stiffened column base plates. Beam to beam splice connections. Column splice connections. Hollow splice connections. All these connections can be used in both Portal Frame and Multi Storey Frames. Each generic type covers a wide range of connection permutations, as shown in the following few pages. EAVES APEXExtended end plates. Haunched or un haunched. Asymmetrical double sided eaves joints valley jointMorris, diagonal, K and doubler plate shear stiffeners. Column flange backing plates. Haunch weld and end of haunch stiffener design. Re distribution of bolts between tension and shear bolt groups on the fly for each loading case maximising the joint capacity. Automatic transfer of forces at joint interface when linked to Master. Frame and Master. Port. BASE PLATESAxial or moment base plates. Slab and stiffened base plates. Asymmetrical base plates. Axial up lift. Also designs Hollow sections. Pressure area optimisation to reduce base plate bending. Punching shear design when reinforcement present to improve pullout resistance. CHS base plates with Pitch Circle Diameter PCD bolts and radial stiffening. Fire Boundary checks. Automatically transfer Fire Boundary results from Master. Port. Live load reduction when linked to Master. Frame. CHS wall bearing checks for stiffeners. Shear key and recessed base design. Cast in bolts with no washers. Triangular or rectangular pressure diagrams. BEAM AND COLUMN SPLICESAxial, shear and moment splice design. Major and Minor axis moments. Automatic calculation of minor axis moments due to Strut Action. Internal and external plates. In line or staggered bolts. Bearing non bearing Splices. User definable load distribution between web and flanges. Counter sunk bolts. Cap Base column Splices. Welded Packers. SIMPLE CONNECTIONSThe Software covers the Design of 7 generic types of simple connections as follows Beam to beam Flexible end plate connections. Beam to beam Fin plate connections. Beam to Beam Angle Cleat Connections. Beam to column Flexible end plate connections. Beam to column Fin plate connections. Beam to Column Angle Cleat Connections. Slab Base Plate concentric axial loaded bases NEWGENERAL FEATURESVertical Shear and Tie Force Loading. Beams can be channel sections. Horizontal notching into column web. User definable notch depths and lenghts. Notchedstripped section capacity checks. In line or staggered bolts. Bolt clash detection. BEAM AND COLUMN FLEXIBLE END PLATEFlush, extended and partial depth end plates. BEAM AND COLUMN FIN PLATES1 or 2 bolts per row. In line or staggered bolts. Columns can be Hollow sections. Full punching shear checks on hollow section columns. Flange stripping. BEAM TO BEAM ANGLE CLEATS2 or 4 bolts per row. Single or double angle cleats. Single angle cleats checked for torsional forces. Different bolt pitches for toe and web bolts. POWERPADPOWERPAD and POWERPAD Plus include both Master. Key Moment and Simple Connections. You will be able to design and export connection graphics without limitations, however printing of results is limited to connections with an applied moment of up to 3.
