The welded shear plate connection is the most common connection in renovation jobs where existing steel is shored, cut, and reconnected to new steel, which could be a beam or column. For beam to girder, shear plate is usually extended to clear the...

For extended shear tabs with the shape of the Fig. 10-19c of the AISC Construction Manual, the check for the thickness is missing in the report. Ref Feature (PBI) #1568164

For connections with haunch beams, add the possibility to select the type of transversal weld, and checks for the longitudinal weld. Ref feature (PBI) #1728459

For a BCW connection the stiffeners can be provided at top and bottom flange location of beam. But in design no calculation is shown for the same. So the need to to introduce AISC Single plate enhancement for BCW plate stiffener thickness checks. ...

Ram connection has functions for define stiffener plates or channels on base plate, but in many cases it is required to design base plate with User defined Stiffeners. Users want to control stiffener size and number of stiffeners, also they want t...

No Grout base plate - supported y leveling nut are used in utility industry to prevent rust/corrosion. The anchors need to be reviewed for bending in that small height and so is the base plate. It would be nice if Ram connection can add this featu...

When will software be updated for CSA S16-24? We are seeing projects where this is a requirement. So far, we have been able to confirm that CSA S16-19 is acceptable, but that may not be possible much longer. Thank you.

Need a column cap plate with moment - (4) bolts each side - (8) bolts total for a Wide Flange Beam and a HSS column. And ability to add stiffeners for cap plate to column

Once the design of the column base plate is performed, it is expected that the shift of the analysis axis would be considered in the design results (i.e. anchor tension). Currently, RAM Connection considers only an additional moment produced due t...

Right now, all RAM Connection designs involving welding two sides of a connector piece to the Girder Beam. I know there are attachments where you can weld a WT for example on one side of the beam, but on the girder beam, RAM Connections still spec...
