Currently for beam to column connections, if the beam is HSS then the column must also be HSS. This is very limiting. It would be nice to allow HSS beam to WF column connections. The forces are often shear, moment & torsion. It would be great ...

Implementation of ACI 318-14 code in concrete design for anchor design in Ram connection (In Design of Base Plate) due to client However, the software tool supports only for the code ACI 318-08 , ACI 318-11 and ACI 318-19 . Need STAAD Version whic...

Please Incorporate the Splice Connections consider the seismic provisions from AISC 341-10 codes in RAM connection software. This will be very useful for High seismic zone.

99% of the details I have seen for vertical x-bracing shows one member continuous. I design a lot of connections for a steel fabricator and I am always required to perform a hand calc or 2 ram connection calcs with one being the horizontal X-brace...

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.

This provision is useful in PEB buildings where all structural members are formed by using built-up plates. By using this option, we can avoid supplementary web plates uses in connections.

It is already widely used
