Introduction
Occasionally standard size frames of 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, or 50 segments are too short, or of less than ideal length. In these situations, frames may be spliced together to create a single structural member of the desired length.
Challenges
- Potential for bolt shear in load bearing applications.
Approaches
- 2 bolts - non-load bearing
- 3 bolts - load bearing
