Understanding Concrete Beam Joins

Understanding Concrete Beam Joins


Posted on March 11, 2012 by lawrenceh
A few weeks back I was asked how Revit Structure handles concrete beam joins and how to control and manage how beams are connected and processed at the junctions. In older releases of Revit the beams would always mitre which was good in some cases but in other situations really didn’t give the correct solution. I have now modelled the various configurations and created some images so you can see how the beams will join. If you do want a mitred junction which is not 90 degrees then you will need to use a precast material.
