 I am designing extended end plate connection for IMF-frame (AISC-LRFD) with seismic provisions (AISC-DG4 &amp;amp; AISC 358-05). 
 Regarding to the provisions given in the aforementioned standards and report calculated by the RAM, I have several</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: BCF-Shear force at column face - Seismic provision</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/400799?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Feb 2017 23:05:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e0022c89-09db-4f63-91ac-b0552b450af5</guid><dc:creator>Seth Guthrie</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I confirmed that in our section database in Ram Connection the UB406x178x67 is listed with Ze = 1,350,000 mm^3. At some point out data must have been rounded or reduced in precision. It is possible to export the shape data to a spreadsheet, then generate a new table of custom shapes with edited properties if the 0.3% deviation is critical for you. (I do see the correct 1,346,000 value in some tables e.g. RAM Structural System).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regarding Vg, this value comes from the host application typically.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the STAAD.pro interface if you have seismic provisions enabled under Connection Design - Assign Ram Connection Settings, then, when you go to assign the connection to the BCF Joint be sure to select an acting load case for calculating Vg.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/acting_5F00_gravity_5F00_load.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/acting_5F00_gravity_5F00_load.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vg would default to zero if seismic provisions were not pre-enabled, or if the selected loading yielded zero beam end shear.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no place in STAAD.pro currently to define the plastic hinge locations (distance Sh) so the program is using the beam end shear for the selected load. I&amp;#39;ll log an enhancement for the STAAD.pro interface to locate the plastic hinge given user input (which we do in the the other interfaces).&lt;/p&gt;
