Hello,
I'm trying to use ram connection to detail my steel structure.
but can't find a way to connect a knee brace to beam.
Is there any way to do it?
thanks
Yes it can apply CBB type on Column-Brace joint, but unable to apply it to beam-brace join.
see attached photo. using ram connection. I can apply CBB on ram in part which encircled by yellow color, but can't apply CBB on the part encircled by green.
There are some templates for bracing connection. You may try CBB type for your case. A sketch or sample file will help me to answer your question in better way.
maybe I'll use standalone version, assume my column as a beam and tweak axial and shear load acting on it.
since my knee brace will not carry bending moment I can neglect my bending moment acting on my actual beam.
Is this the right way to do it?
