Released November 19, 2014 with Design Office 9, Service Release 2
Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Connections for version 9.2 and may not reflect current program behaviour.
For orthogonal bolted connections, if the main member was not loaded, and the main member width was much smaller than the side member width, then the connection design fails with any load. This has been corrected.
Starting with version 8.4, for bolted ledger connections, the input field for Penetration Depth was displayed as Width. This has been corrected.
The Wood to Concrete Connection Penetration Depth, which is part of the input materials specification, was not being recorded in the Design Results output. This value is now shown in the fasteners section of the output.
For Wood to Concrete connections, the force shown in the diagram in imperial units was the plf force multiplied by the factor 3.28. In addition, for both metric and imperial, the units shown were force units when they should be line load units. These problems have been corrected and the program shows the force in line load units.
