Bolted flange plates at BOTH flanges for beam-to-girder connections

For bolted flange plate beam-to-girder configurations, RAM currently uses a bolted flange plate only at the top flange, and shows a CJP weld for the bottom flange to girder web. We often will use flange plates at BOTH beam flanges. It would be gre...

Add directly-welded moment connections for beam-to-girder configurations.

We often use directly-welded moment connections, with beam flanges that are full-pen welded to the supporting member. RAM Connection can do that for beam-to-column connections, but it would be great if you could add that connection for beam-to-gir...

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.

I checked with Bentley support team for design of Concrete column in RAM Elelments. As i can see the design can be performed in two different ways.

Output - Output - Design – Reinforced concrete – Members Concrete column module. But the Bentley team suggested checking the column design under the concrete column module. In this way, only the program gives detailed design reports. But it looks ...

Merge multiple connections which happen at one joint

I had a connection that required a shear connection framing from one beam, a moment connection from another beam and a horizontal brace from another beam all at one column. The detailer needed a combined detail merged as one. As another example, w...

Trim flange widths for beam to column-web (BCW) connections to create added connection strength.

Problem: Beam to column-web connections (BCW) create dimensional conflicts between beam flange width, and the space between column flanges. This often occurs when the bolt lines project and beam flange lines project inside of the web space and wit...

Allow Parallel flange members to be used as columns across all types of connections.

Please consider allowing the use of Parallel flange members as columns in column-column and column-beam connections.
