10C. DIMENSIONING PART 3/4

CHAPTER 10C 'DIMENSIONING' 59 Levels : Connection A is in the XY plane which means that the metal connection plate will be inserted in this plane (vertical). Connection B is in plane XZ and therefore members 1,2 will be connected with a horizontal metal plate. Only members belonging to the same level can be connected to each other. Therefore, in connection B, for example, the members of the poles cannot be connected. OBSERVATIONS: • The level of the connection defines the level of bending of the members to be taken into account according to the local axes of each member. • Therefore, of the 6 intensive quantities (N,Mz,Vy,My,Vz,Mx) of each member, at the connection node, 3 of them, N,Mz,Vy in the xy plane, and N,My,Vz in the xz plane, will be taken into account.
