I am currently designing a horizontal column-beam-brace connection where one beam is a W12 section and the other is a W8 section. I would like to design the gusset plate using a bolted flange connection. However, I have noticed that the software c...

RAM connection is not having an option to design the thru bolt connection - baseplate is connected to the concrete with thru bolt. Instead of post anchor and preinstalled anchors, sometimes it is needed to use thru bolt connection. Please find the...

In the current project I am working on, I need to design steel supports for the pipework. In some cases there are torsional moments and their effects on base plate have to be addressed. At the moment, Base Plate design in RAM Connection does not i...

Section 2204.3 of the 2022 California Building Code requires anchor-bolt bending to be considered for shear transfer with a base-plate with oversized holes. Please add this check / design to Ram Connection.

This will save time when checking typical base plate locations and identify when model/load changes affect the base plate acceptability.

We should have the ability to see at least what limit state or element of the connection is failing without having to open the results output, which is very slow and time-consuming. If we were provided a small list of elements/limit states, we cou...

It would be helpful to have a column/post to beam connection, basically the inverse of the column cap connection. Also be able to use round sections in this and the column cap connection type

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...

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...
