Hello Community,
Thanks in advance. I am new in RAM Connection and I am trying to learn more about it.
I have a question about the CBB connection. In the entire structure model made in Ram Elements, I have modeled the beam and the column to be fixed and, as a result, a bending moment M33 appeared. Then, when trying to assign a gusset connection since there is also a bracing, I found out that, in the report checks, the moment M33 is nowhere considered although it is included in the loads spreadsheet. So I was wandering if there is something I might have missed in relation to how Ram Connection considers M33 in a CBB connection.
For CBB Gusset plate connections we are using uniform force method to calculate the various interface forces. Consequently this does not support beam end moments.
Here's a YouTube video that might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E77Ef9e97PI&list=PL5LpElzkNC9n8j6ed3m-S99AG0K48aSmI
Thank you Seth!!
