Referring to Fig. R17.7.2.1a & Fig. R17.11.3.1 from ACI318-19 (refer attached sketch), these are the two similar concrete breakout failures one in case of Anchor bolts (case 1) and other for shear lug (case 2). In both cases, concrete breakout...

Sería ideal que en futuras versiones de RAM Connection se incorpore la funcionalidad de imprimir los reportes de las juntas de forma simultánea. Esto evitaría la necesidad de imprimirlos uno por uno, lo cual puede resultar un proceso tedioso y poc...

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

I have few members of a structure frame that were oriented 90 degree using Beta Angle. However, this applied Beta Angle no more works in RAM connection when I try to design a connection in STAAD RAM connection.

It becomes difficult when there is no template that can apply to joint for connection design. For instance, I have I-section column and hollow rectangular section beam. There is no template that can design such kind of joint.

ram standalone has reports, etc updated yet that is not available within Ram when you work directly within staad...why not? Current report formatting for Ram is awful

Lifting lugs and cap plates are always needed for modular design which is done within Staad + Ram Connection...these are standard type of connections and their design should be accommodated within the programs vs having to use other programs to do...

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.

Currently, there are relatively few stiffening rib arrangements that can be selected in RAM. There is currently no way to customize the arrangement of stiffening ribs in the software. This brings inconvenience to project execution. It is hoped tha...
