• Ram connection using Hb force component instead of Hc as the axial force at the vertical brace connection's beam-to-column interface.

    Anurag E
    Anurag E
    At the vertical brace connection framing-to-beam-column junction , it appears that the Hb force component (required shear force on the gusset-to-beam connection) is considered as the axial force at the beam-to-column connection interface, rather than…

    In RAM Connections, can anchor bolts be checked for combined shear and tension per AISC DG 1 which considers bending in the bolts due to shear when oversized holes and welded washers are used? I see that the software currently calculates these per ACI…

    For a column base plate, the Steel Design Code uses the up-to-date AISC 360-16. However the Concrete Design Code is still the outdated ACI 318-08. I understand not much has changed for the anchorage provisions in the ACI other than it being reorganized…

    Moment at end of beam are 14132 Kip-in ( 1177 Kip-ft) when I design connection they moment considered are 1075.5 Kip-in (89.63 Kip-ft). why moment and forces are taken less then actual in Ram connection. Screenshot are attached.
