Field Splice Code Check [STG]

General

Load Combination Table: The load combination table is used to map the analysis result cases and their corresponding factors to the template, along with the limit states. It serves as the basis for all finite element analysis results used in the code check equations.

Specified Yield Strength of the Filler Plate: If there is a change in flange thickness at a field splice location, the code check object assumes the presence of a filler plate. In such cases, the specified yield strength of the filler plate must be defined for code check purposes.

Ubs, Reduction Factor for Block Shear Rupture Resistance [0.5/1.0]: Reduction factor for block shear rupture resistance per AASHTO 6.13.4. Takes a value of 0.5 for non-uniform tension stress and 1.0 for uniform tension stress. Only these two values are accepted.
