Hi,
I modeled two different stub beam off column scenarios, first where stud beam is connected to column flange, second where stud beam is connected to beam web (see below).
My question is: where does ram ss show column web or flange capacity check due to the moment generated from stub beams?
Thanks.
In Ram Steel Column mode (or in RAM Frame mode for your lateral columns) we will perform a design of the column including the net moments from the cantilever and other sources. The design report is only going to list the controlling condition.
What we don't do now is a column flange local bucking check. There is some joint checking in Ram Frame - Steel Mode but this is primarily for moment frames and for checking the column to see if it needs stiffeners and/or doubler plates.
Using RAM Structural System along with Ram Connection is another way to perform a more complete design of the joint connection including local flange buckling as well as the design of the flange plates, end plates or welds connecting the beam to the column. It's one of the tightest integrations we have between products in all of the structural analysis brands.
