RAM Frame and NBCC 2015 4.1.8.11 4)
Hi,
Based on NBCC 2015 4.1.8.11 4) single storey buildings with steel or wood deck as diaphragms can have a higher fundamental period compared to 4.1.8.11 3) as seen in the snap below. However, in the current RAM frame the Ta is only based on clause…
RAM Frame - Joint Shape Warning for Braced Frame
I'm getting some conflicting graphical information and output. I'm designing a special concentrically braced frame (SCBF) with wide flange beams and columns and HSS braces. The frame column webs are oriented in the plane of the frame and all beam and…
RAM Frame - Moderately Ductile Beam Requirements
I am looking at the requirements of the beam at the second story of the chevron BRBF. Why is RAM Frame checking Beam ductility using the Diagonal Brace requirements of AISC 341-16? The output clearly says it does not check the axial demand in the beam…
Seismic Provisions Joint Code Check Output Clarification
Hi,
I wanted to clarify the output for the seismic provisions joint code check in regards to continuity plate. I am unclear of what the 0.66" under "Tf Prov (in)" is indicating. Do I need a 0.66" thick continuity plate? Also, how is RAM arriving at…
