1. Introduction

The general fastening plate custom components called embeds in Tekla Structures include
normal fastening plates (EB_FP*), heavy duty fastening plates (EB_HDFP*) and light
fastening plates (EB_LFP*). Each set can be used individually or with Corbel connection
(14) component.

The set includes also a parametric EB_FP_BxL embed which has attribute files of width
with 100mm intervals. The length of this embed is given with two definition points.

The plates are of undefined steel material, the bars of undefined studs or rebars. These all
are found in all Tekla Structures environments.

The default common parameters can be changed on dialog to match your own needs.
Product name is mapped to mainpart’s NAME field. Description and product code are UDA-
fields found in common environment’s objects.inp file. Product code can be used for
example in EPR data transfer.

5. Parametric fastening plate

The parametric EB_FP_BxL embed is used when non-standard length is needed for the
fastening plate. The given definition points determine the plate length (usually max.
2000 mm, may vary between embed providers).

On the dialog you can give the other plate dimensions as well as the anchor rod (made
as studs) length and intervals. The component includes pre-saved values for 100 mm
width intervals for normal (FP) and heavy duty (HDFP) plates. The name can be saved
in format FP + plate width / length – as an example: FP400/1200.

The pre-saved values include:

6. Usage of fastening plate embeds with Corbel connection (14)

The Corbel connection (14) connection can utilize the above mentioned standard size
embeds. Open the connection dialog and go to “Reinforcing bar” tab page. Here fastening
plate is an option for the reinforcing bar. Select the plate option, then set the beam and
