Hello Abhisek, i know this is an old thread but i noticed in the latest version of ram connection, that even though the description mentions as 'End Plate Shear and Moment Connection' i see only 'Axial' loads... so is it that the moments are resolved towards Axial forces (or) is that that the splice is checked only against Tension/Compression forces? please advise.communities.bentley.com/.../Column-Splice.pdf

Hey Abhisek, I had a hard time upload my cnx file. It allows me to input, but in the design result, it shows warning, and

formula shows tpmax=1.

Hello,

Can you please attach the connection file?

I tried with the same configuration and can use plate thickness greater than 1inch. I tried with even 50mm and it is allowing me.
