RAM Connection

Showing 53 of 227

• Does RAM Connection support Box Columns (Double ISMB/ISMC) with strengthening plates for moment-resisting or shear connections? (see attached drawing) • Can RAM Connection be customized for specific load cases, codes, or connection types? · Can RAM Connection design connections for base plates and bracing using Box Columns with strengthening plates?

It could be useful for companies like Spray Engineering, Cheema Boilers etc. Composite Connections are also in demand.

Back-to-back channel splice connection

Double back-to-back channels are typical for design of walers. Adding double channel section for beam splice connection with end plates would allow for this type of connection to be modeled.
