• RAM Connection Base Plate Anchor Bolt Force Distribution

    Why is it that in RAM Connection, Base Plate module, fixed biaxial, that tensile loads in anchor bolts aren't distributed based on their location to the load application point? For example, if I have a column with a 2x2 anchor bolt layout, with one of…
  • What is the reason for designing of column without considering the worst load case even though I add several load combinations?

    In my model I analyze and design a G+8 RCC Structure, and the column is designed for only the first load case even though other load combinations give maximum axial force and moments. I attached the screenshots of output file below.
