https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/235261/base-plate-thickness-result-issue-in-ramHi There, I designed some columns in Ram SS for a particular model. However, the software has specified a baseplate thickness of about 1500mm even though the ultimate load on the base plate summed up to about 109kN. Is there something I might be missingen-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/731052?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 09 Sep 2022 15:53:29 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:df629eb7-0eef-4ad3-b35f-9a3b1a44bbddSeth Guthrie<p>In my testing the problem seems to happen only at low values of Plate Fy (set under Criteria - Base Plates). Once I go up to something like 300 N/mm^2 it&#39;s reasonable. There must be a material threshold that causes the design Fy to get rounded down. We see this other aspects of Steel design using CSA due to section classification.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/731049?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 09 Sep 2022 15:47:36 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:4cb839ac-d55f-4667-affc-e4d9eba24f69Seth Guthrie<p>The issue was previously logged, but not fixed yet (Re: Defect 566024: Canada Baseplate large thickness).</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/731048?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 09 Sep 2022 15:45:00 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:7202fb05-e4d5-4c93-b04a-5ee9afe4205fSeth Guthrie<p>Something seems to be wrong for all Canadian steel codes in base plate design. Investigating. Meanwhile we do have complete base plate design with support for CSA S16-14 in Ram Connection.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
