Hi,
In Vertical bracing connection design, while checking on Gusset-column clip angle connection, (using slip critical bolts) Ram uses the nb (number of bolts): of one side only while it should use all bolts in connection since it uses the total force on the connection. A snap shot from the connection shape and the check I am talking about are attached. Appreciate receiving your comments.
Code reference: J3-5

I think I see the same kind of thing using the gusset base plate with bolted double angle connections from the gusset to the column, but I want to make sure we are looking at the same codes, joint types, etc.

It does look like a problem. I'll confirm with our developers. I never really used the CBB joints without a beam, but that does not seem to be part of the problem.
