Beam moments at each side of column have been added with corresponding sign. In a cantilever condition these moments&nbsp;generate opposite forces resulting in a shear demand equal to the difference&nbsp;of magnitudes. For some reason RAM connection calculates a&nbsp;different shear demand. Could anyone clarify what assumptions the program does to calculate these values?</p> <p><img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/BCF-Demands.jpg" /><img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/BCF-Design-Check.jpg" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
