Error in weld calculations in End plate shear connection (Eurocode) in RAM Connection Standalone

When designing Beam to beam shear connection using End plate per Eurocode, the weld check performed by RAM connection seems to be having a few errors as explained below.

  1. Weld size considered is leg size, whereas throat thickness should be considered.
  2. Width of flange is considered as weld length even though the flanges are coped and effectively there is no weld.
