We have encountered a problem while performing checks in vertical brace knee brace. The software does not allow us to enter the values of Xleft and Xright, which represent the eccentricity from connection centre to workline. As a result, the calculation…
Below is an image of a bolted beam splice connection that I'm working on.
RAM Connection considers the eccentricity of the bolt group to be 3.125in and the coefficient for eccentrically loaded bolt groups to be 8.
I believe that the eccentricity…
