Knee brace gusset to beam/ column connection eccentricity due to workline not coinciding with weld centre
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…
Bolted Beam Splice Connection
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…
Input & Reported Column Eccentricity
How can I confirm column eccentricity in RAM SS? Within the Data Echo report it notes in the column table that "values with a + indicate eccentricity plus 1/2 column dimension", then in the table is notes "+100" however these notes in the report do not…
RAM Connection in Staad - Bolt shear ratio in beam-girder single plate connections
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…
STAAD Foundation Advance CE do not check excentric foundation
STAAD Foundation Advanced CE do not check eccentric foundation
I was tried to design a isolated foundation with a eccentricity and the program shown a warning message, that the function was unable to perform the design. Does exist any particular reazon…
WT/Angle Section connection eccentricity
Is there any way to simulate the eccentricity due to connection of angle/WT section with gusset in STAAD?
Or do we need to perform additional check for member design due to this eccentricity manually?
RE: Dynamic eccentricity for earthquake loading
The analysis output file only reports the accidental eccentricity but the dynamic eccentricity (DEC ) is not reported which can be confusing. However the analysis does automatically consider the torsion from the dynamic eccentricity along with the accidental…

Modelling eccentricity of columns with cantilever beams in RAM SS
We have a situation where an existing building utilizes platform-framed construction and several columns have beams with 10'-0" cantilevers which run over top of them. We do not feel it's conservative to assume a perfect fulcrum (i.e. zero eccentricity…
RAMSS Concrete Beam Eccentricities
Is there a "best practices" method for modeling concrete beams with eccentricities? Please see attached picture. All perimeter girders on this specific project (66" pan joists, typ) have a grid --> pan dimension held at 1'-6" creating a 2" eccentricity…
