I'm looking at the results of some reasonable high reactions for a w10 framing into another W10 (on the order of 46K).
I understand everything except for the "flexural Yielding and Flexural Rupture checks" which reference P.9-6.
Questions:
A) what is reference P9-6 referring to? I've looked into the help but can't find anything
B)Is there anywhere in the code that has equations for this?
C) I'm also using the integrated portion with RAM elements. All of my steel is designed for ASD however the connections keep using LRFD. Is there a way to change that? Can these be linked? Also, when I change the connection design in the module to ASD, save it and close it, then reopen the connection, it refers back to LRFD. How do I save changes in this module?
Thanks

A) that's a reference to a page number, page 9-6 from the AISC 360-10 in this case.
B) Most of the code requirements are in the form of equations and in those cases we reference equation numbers, but some requrements are written in paragraph form, there we reference page numbers.
C) There is a separate control for the connection design code, see below.
In my test using Ram Elements 13.03.01.124 this setting is saved with each connection and the default is saved session-to-session. Where you have existing connections that use an unintended design code, you can now change the code within the connection pad and review the results, but you have to delete and re-assign connections to have the alternate code saved with the connection.
