Creating Concept for CNC Production of Balcony Railings in Consideration of Structural Analysis, Timber Preservation, and Economic Efficiency

By using CNC technology for the production of structural components for balcony railings, manufacturers aim to ensure a production that is as high and precise as possible.

A customer has always a wide range of options available for selection, always based on a basic motor vehicle. Furthermore, this leads very early to a high degree of prefabrication. Then, the structural components should be mounted in such a way that they only need to be assembled, similarly to an assembly set.

Thus, manual modifications and potential errors resulting from these modifications are supposed to be avoided as far as possible. Moreover, the individual structural components in the corresponding versions should be exchangeable in any order. Thus, several connections of horizontal beams on vertical struts will be uniformly standardized.

Knowledge Base Articles

A welded connection of an HEA cross-section under biaxial bending with axial force will be designed. The design of welds for the given internal forces according to the simplified method (DIN EN 1993-1-8, Clause 4.5.3.3) by means of SHAPE-THIN will be performed.

Fillet Weld Thickness a for Normal Penetration (a) and for Deep Penetration (b)

A fillet weld is the most common weld type in steel building construction. According to EN 1993-1-8, 4.3.2.1 (1) [1], fillet welds may be used for connecting structural part where the fusion faces form an angle of between 60° and 120°.

KB 001875 | AISC 341-22 Moment Frame Member Design in RFEM 6

The three types of moment frames (Ordinary, Intermediate, Special) are available in the Steel Design add-on of RFEM 6. The seismic design result according to AISC 341-22 is categorized into two sections: member requirements and connection requirements.

The Steel Design add-on in RFEM 6 now offers the ability to perform seismic design according to AISC 341-16 and AISC 341-22. Five types of seismic force-resisting systems (SFRS) are currently available.

Steel Design | Seismic Force-Resisting System Design Overview

Design of five types of seismic force-resisting systems (SFRS) includes Special Moment Frame (SMF), Intermediate Moment Frame (IMF), Ordinary Moment Frame (OMF), Ordinary Concentrically Braced Frame (OCBF), and Special Concentrically Braced Frame (SCBF)
Ductility check of the width-to thickness ratios for webs and flanges
Calculation of the required strength and stiffness for stability bracing of beams
Calculation of the maximum spacing for stability bracing of beams
Calculation of the required strength at hinge locations for stability bracing of beams
Calculation of the column required strength with the option to neglect all bending moments, shear, and torsion for overstrength limit state
Design check of column and brace slenderness ratios

Seismic in Steel Design Add-on | Results

The seismic design result is categorized into two sections: member requirements and connection requirements.

The "Seismic Requirements" include the Required Flexural Strength and the Required Shear Strength of the beam-to-column connection for moment frames. They are listed in the ‘Moment Frame Connection by Member’ tab. For braced frames, the Required Connection Tensile Strength and the Required Connection Compressive Strength of the brace are listed in the ‘Brace Connection by Member’ tab.

The program provides the performed design checks in tables. The design check details clearly display the formulas and references to the standard.
