Good Afternoon
I need to know: Which of Bentley's Product do the design of Anchor Bolts according to ACI 318?
Best regards,Pablo Mata
Anchor checks according to ACI 318 are included with column base connections designed in RAM Connection. In order for the anchor checks to be completed, an AISC LRFD design code must be selected.
More discussion on the requirement to use LRFD (as opposed to ASD) can be found under "When designing a base plate connection, the ACI 318 Appendix D checks are not completed." on the web page below:
