RAM Connection - CSA code

Rez Lotfi — Fri, 29 May 2020 12:14:54 GMT

Hi,

I am using RAM Connection with CSA code to design a simple Beam-Girder connection. I found multiple checks done with AISC code even when I chose CSA code for design. I know CSA code is a new development for RAM Connection. I was wondering if it is because the missing sections in CSA code or missing development in RAM Connection. As I know some of the AISC checks don't have equivalent in CSA code. Can you give me more information about this?

Thanks

Design table steel table

Hi,

I have recently installed RAM Version 16. I had version 15 before. I lost the Tables folder in the RAM directory and it doesn't recognize any steel deck database. How can I get the folder. Is there a separate package for the tables?

Thanks

Bent Beam in Beam and Frame Design

Rez Lotfi — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 14:46:03 GMT

Hi,

I have a question about the RAM Beam and Frame design. Do they complete each other or they are the replacement?

The reason I am asking this question is the model that I have with Bent beam. The beam connects the top level to the mid level. If I use hanging column or standard column I get different results in Beam design. When I use the frame design it correctly consider the connection and transfer the loads to the beams. Is there a way that Beam design applies the distribution like Frame design?

How can I create a brace for two stories? I have a model which has a half story. I want my braces goes all the way to the beam at the top and doesn't stop at mid story. Is there a way to do this in RAM structural?
