# Bolted Field Splice Code Check (AASHTO) \[SIG]

## Bolted Field Splice Code Check (AASHTO) \[SIG]

## General

**Splice:** Splice for code check

**Code Check Template:** The code check template is utilized to extract global parameters, results from finite element analysis, and limit states employed in the design process.

**PDF Name (Export):** This parameter allows the name of the code check document to be modified when saving it as a PDF. When renaming the file, special attention must be given to the text characters on the [linked](https://docs.openbrim.org/faq/general/faq-illegal-chars) page, as certain characters may interfere with parametric equations and lead to unexpected results.

## Overrides

**Override Transverse Stiffener Spacing \[Yes/No]:** Enables manual input of the transverse stiffener spacing used in the web-shear capacity computations at the splice. When YES, the value entered below overrides the auto-computed spacing.

**Transverse Stiffener Spacing:** The user-specified transverse stiffener spacing applied when the override option is active.

**Computed Transverse Stiffener Spacing (readonly):** Displays the system-calculated transverse stiffener spacing derived from the transverse stiffener objects attached to the girders on either side of the splice. (Read-only)

**Girder Start Station (readonly):** Displays the start station of the girder along the PGL. This value is automatically determined from the girder geometry. (Read-only)

**Girder End Station (readonly):** Displays the end station of the girder along the PGL. This value is automatically determined from the girder geometry. (Read-only)

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openbrim.org/templates/steel-i-girder-bridge-workflow/superstructure-code-check-sig/bolted-field-splice-code-check-aashto-sig.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
