Does Ram connection consider shear value for Base plate design ?
Sure, we design anchors or shear lugs according to various design codes.
Wants to know whether shear value in consideration during base plate design not anchors.
The welds are checked for shear, but not the plate. The plate checked for bending.
But as per Design guide 1,1st ed shear force is converted to tension as per attached pic,
Page 36.
You said the plate a moment ago, now you are back to the anchors. We use the ACI Appendix D methods for anchor shear and tension interaction.
I am attaching you some image and doc of DG 01,ED 01.also attached rcnx. file.

You can see,in the DG shear is converted to tension and this converted tension is added with the tension. and base plate moment is calculated using the increased tension.but in the ram connection I find no changes in anchor tension,changes only in shear.and no changes for in base plate bending for shear.
