For column cap plate design, why is RAM connection not allowing user to input shear load???? I can only input axial and moment. The connection needs to be checked for shear, tension and combined effect on bolts. Can someone clarify why and a work around?
It works fine for me with AISC 360 Combined Cap plates:
What code and version are you using?
I am using AISC and version 13, do I need to update the version?
Probably, but also make sure you are using the combined shear and moment connection type. My test was with the forthcoming version 13.08.
I am updating to 13.06 now. Hopefully this has combined shear and moment. How do I access combined shear and moment connection? By click design and then combined shear and moment or where please?
