DETAILS
CLOSE
They are fixed to the primary structure using the standard bolted connection method.
Fixing with U- or L-section connectors is recommended.
Connector thickness must always be greater than the thickness of the connected section.
Connections are recommended at support locations.
Welded connections are not recommended.
Transverse overlap is not recommended.
For structural applications, the reduction in strength due to notches must be calculated in accordance with EN 1993-1-3.
