Input Web Haunch Definition

Table tbWebHaunchDef

PURPOSE Automatic haunched member placement is possible when you use the Flange Placement, the Web Placement and Web Haunch Definition tables to define a W1, A3, or A3A type shape for a line member.

The haunch calculations are for the web plate depth not the entire shape depth. So you will need to take this into account when setting the depth factors. The flanges and cover plates are added to the ‘haunched’ web plate to build up the complete section.

The haunched section are discrete and computed at sections defined by number of divisions between the start and end of the haunch section. The minimum distance is one (1) foot.

Parameters

tbWebHaunchDef

Field	Type	Units	Description
MbrLine	text		Member line name
StartDist	real	FET	Distance from start of member line
EndDist	real	FET	Distance from start of member line to end of this shape placement. (Entry optional)
NumDiv	int		Number of divisions. Use 0.0 for maximum number of divisions. (Distance for each section is limited to 1.0 feet. )
StartD	real	INC	Starting plate depth
MidD	real	INC	Plate depth at mid point. If MidD=0.0 then assume straight line
EndD	real	INC	Ending plate depth
Legacy_Type	chr		Legacy method not used anymore. Here for backward compatibility. [H|S] H=Haunched, S=Sloped
Legacy_Location	chr		Legacy method not used anymore. Here for backward compatibility. [S|E] Location of slope (S=Start, E=End)
Legacy_Slope	real		Legacy method not used anymore. Here for backward compatibility. Initial Slope when Type=Haunch
Legacy_CoeffZ	real	FT2	Legacy method not used anymore. Here for backward compatibility. Coefficient Z (y=A*X^Z) when Type=Haunch
