Hi, Regarding the column cap connection, would you please help me with the following? - Why I can't input shear (say axial for beam) loading? Wouldn't this affect the bolt design? - About the bolts, I couldn't find where they are designed…

I am attempting to assign and design gusset plate connections using Ram connection using data from a RSS model. When trying to assign a connection detail to a joint the error The joint composed by node "171" and members "120, 886" is not valid "Column…

Dear all, Please tell me can we use in HXB template with pipe properties or only we can use VXB template only ? i need one pipe has through member and another one is cut member.

Hi, In the in-built RAM Connection tab of STAAD Pro V8i SS6 version, Pry out check for Group of Anchors in Shear considers negative values for e'N (-7.38 & -0.942) as shown in snap-1. Whereas when the same check is performed in RAM Connection Connect…

Hi Everyone! I am trying to verify a beam-girder single plate connection: I don´t understand why RAM Connection considers this: I understand that it calculates the bolt group capacity as the product of one boly shear capacity by the coeficient…

Hello, The moment in my frame does not seem to be correctly transferring to the fixed ends of the steel beams. All of the moment connections are set to a fixity of "XXX" and are lateral members. The ends do have moment values but seem to be way smaller…

I am designing a gusset base plate for W-section column with WT-bracings on both major and minor axis of column in RAM Connection Standalone. I selected the CB-Column base with two braces template. (left and right braces) How do I change the bracing pattern…

Hi, How can a"tie rod in compression" be resolved in a gusset brace connection design? Thanks

What loads are exported from RAMSS to RAM Connection? What load combinations are exported?

hello guys! I have a problem with rafter to rater apex connection. I am realy confused why is it in RAM if we cant use it(if posts that I read are true)? How can I use it? I would like something like this:

I got this warning when designing a connection for fin plate. I cannot seek any help from the menu. Can someone explain to me? Thanks

Hello guys! I need an afvice for my portal frame structure. I want to use Square hollow section for bracing in my Portal frame structure. As I read that HSS is not suported in RAM conection. It would be great if someone sugested me an alternative to…

Is there a way to input all load forces on a connection (ie axial, shear x, shear y, torsion, moment x, moment y)? Is there a connection that can do this? The tubular truss connection pictured below is what we need but are unable to input all the loads…

PDF PDF Hi all, I am designing for beam to beam connection with fin plate. I have attached the design reports. Meanwhile, I have encountered the following error. Is it logical for the formula as in figures below?

I got Fail Informative indication for flange strength when I was reviewing extended end plate with stiffeners design (4ES) and this lead to weld 100% and 134% Fail informative while if I did same connection in RAM Connection software this check not appear…

I wanted to see if RAM Connection has gusset plate connections for all HSS members. For my specific case I'm looking at an all HSS Truss. See image below. I will note that I'm able to get "Tubular Connections" to work, but I wanted to see if I could bet…

Hello, Is there copy & paste function for connection design in STAAD Pro ? There are many columns(having same section) in the model. And I would like to use same base plate&anchor bolt with same concrete pedestal size. Is there this copy&paste…

Hello Everyone Please share with me the tutorials about a combined footings

Dear sir, The attached model is showing geometric warning as "Members are incompatible". Kindly advise me to proceed further. and also explain me what way i can get rid of that. Thanks and Regards Alagu

Hello, Firstly, thanks to all of you reading this. It has been already sent through the Service Request No.[7001213662] However I would like to share the thought that I have. [Question & Suggestion] The demand(load) for the each check is different…

Hi, I am just wondering why you don't get to use the extended shear tab option when designing vertical bracing connections to column web as shown below. Thanks!

While designing endplate moment connection (Beam UB533x210x92 & Column UB533x210x 9 2 with 350 mm deep UB533x210x122 Haunch) in RAM, it calculates fillet weld length as 114mm only to resist vertical shear force. What is the basis to calculate this length…

Hello, I have version 13 update 4. When I am in the joint data section and I select "Has opposite beam", I do not get the option to input the length of the opposite beam. Other users say they can see that option. See image below: Is this a bug ? please…

Does RAM always consider the Base plate to be subjected to moment (uniaxial or biaxial)? Is there no option to specify that the Base plate is subjected to only concentric compressive axial loads? The design thickness seems to consistently fail for a Column…

I tried to design a End Plate shear connection using STAAD RAM connection. But it is showing a warning that, Kindly explain what is the meaning of that. Thanks in advance RAP
