RAM connection Standalone 2023: HSS wall slenderness check in single plate connections.
Hi,
I am writing to report an issue with the RAM Connection Standalone 2023 software. I noticed that when I was designing a W beam to HSS column single plate (shear tab connection), the software did not check the slenderness of the HSS wall as per AISC…
EFFECTIVE LENGTH FACTOR IN RCDC for SLENDERNESS MOMENT
I am designing a fire wall in RCDC. The model imported from staad is attached. I calculated the effective length factor and applied in staad. Now when I import this model in RCDC it does not take the effective length factor from STAAD.Pro. I tried to…
Steel Beams with low compressive force failing in slenderness
In a steel frame structure I am modeling,
For one row of beams allowable slenderness is 400 (fx = -0.005 kN)
For similar second row of beams allowable slenderness is 180 (fx = 0.005 kN) and it is failing.
This minuscule compressive load is making…

The slenderness in steel design of Code AISC 360-16
Hi, i am working a model for structural steel design. There is a mistake to check the slenderness and the compression member in code of AISC360-16.
The mistake is that the when I defined a length for LZ, but the slenderness in Y direction LY is equal…
Slender Member, Design Skip Issue for Angle Bar
Hi,
I just want to ask if angle bars not design because its a slender member is an issue? or maybe I have error in my input?
I check on other forum about assigning Main /Tmain to skip the slenderness check but still I got the same error.
Any help…
RE: No changes in ratio
From the screenshot I see that the rafter is failing in slenderness. For CODE AISC, slenderness is checked for any member prior to designing it for other cases and if the slenderness check fails, the Clause is reported as L/R-EXCEEDED. Since that condition…
