Hello, 1) We cannot see the steel joint details in the reports. 2) Even if the joins do not save, it seems that there is no problem in the structure when we get the report. 3) It seems that there is no problem in the system even if I make 1 mm plate thickness in some joint details (like forehead and gusset joint detail). 4) I make a symmetrical jointed column base joint, but while it saves 30 mm plate thickness in one, it wants a plate thickness of approximately 70 mm in the other. Also, as I mentioned in item 3, when I combine it with a rigid column foot joint on both axes, even if I make the plate 1 mm, there is no problem.
 
Hello Mr. Murat; 1) The reports of steel combinations are checked by accessing the design report tab within the joint's own menu and you can print it out. At the same time, in the steel design tab, you can check the joints in your project from the joint subheading. 2) Required note has been taken. This issue will be fixed in future versions. 3) Forehead and gusset joint is in the group of constructive combinations. Calculation is not done. Therefore, it is not possible for the program to issue a warning. Constructive combinations are not calculated. ASD or LRFD must be selected for the calculated connections. No joint design is made with TS 648. There is also planning to calculate the constructive combinations, although time cannot be given, work is planned for the creation of a design report. 4) It is not possible for me to comment without seeing your project. If the connections are exactly the same, we can check the columns and all loads in symmetrical structure if you share your project in case of a program error. Good work.
 
Hello Murat BEY; Different plate materials seem to be defined in your column feet. Please define the new steel material as Fe 37 and change the plate material to Fe 37 from the design inputs section of the joint properties menu by selecting all of the column feet. There will be no problem. Good work.
 
Hello, Ms. Nurgul. 1) When will your work on Guse combinations be completed? 2) Is it possible for you to guide us to make calculations about Guse combinations? 3) Do you have a separate study for the account of this, since welding is also included in the constructive combination? Thanks already for your help. Good work.
 
Hello there; 1) We cannot give an exact date yet. 2) The calculation of the joint is actually the same as the calculation made for the butt plate joints. The controls are the same. The problematic part is that the joints in the regulations are symmetrical, and the bending moment is determined and controlled in such a way that the bending moment creates a force couple in the joints that transmit torque. You can make an assumption about how the force will be distributed when the joint is not symmetrical and then apply the checks made, for example, in a 4-bolt joint. During this calculation, you can also benefit from AISC Design Guide 4 - Extended End Plate Connections. 3) For welded joints, you can benefit from the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization's Steel Structures and Joints Application Guide. You can download it from the Ministry website. Good work.
