Hello - My office still uses version 3.0 of RAM SBeam. When analyzing composite beams, I notice in the output that phi factor of 0.85 and 0.9 are used for flexure and shear, respectively. RAM SBeam v3.0 uses the 3rd Edition of AISC LRFD; however,…

Good day I have modeled a structural steel frame building and analyzed it using the direct analysis method, however I have received a few warnings and I would like to know the relevant of these as well as their potential effect on my analysis results…

I recently ran a fairly basic 3D steel frame analysis and design problem in STAAD. Members were grouped and SELECTed and then CODE CHECKed. I know that the SRF for LRFD3 is 0.85 and for AISC UNIFIED is 0.9. The design results from both runs is similar…

Hi. I'm new at Staad pro. I have tried to describe Eartquake force by using Response Spectrum depend on IBC2012/ASCE 7-10. Also I described Earthquake force by using Equivalent Lateral Force depend on IBC2012/ASCE 7-10. Eartquake mass is the same…

I am designing a column splice in RAM Connection. Both columns are W10x49 A992 Gr50. Shear = 50 kips, Axial = -300 kips, M33 = 150 kip*ft. After designing the problem, I obtain results with demand values I do not know. How did RAM Connection calculate…

Dear Team, I need some information regarding basic difference between AISC LRFD design parameter and AISC Unified 360-05 and Method LRFD design parameter. Regards Chinmay
