Currently, there is no way to design a gusset base plate connection if the column base has braces coming into it from 2 different planes. You can't even assign 2 separate connections, one for each plane, like you can at CBB joints.

it is being used in piperacks design with cable trays and will be a big help to designers if this will be included in the next version

I have recently been requested to design a nonstandard profile splice joint. The profile consisted of double-up 200PFC. Unfortunately, RAM does not have this option. I had to take this task to the FEA and spend long time analysing connection. This...

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

When beams under high axial load is connected to the web of w columns, doublers may be needed for both the columns and beams at the connection.

It is especially needed for copped beams to the web of W columns connections with extended end plates.

Currently the customisation option available for Shear lug provision for Baseplate design as per CSA S16 is very limited. We can currently only give one lug (Rectangular shape) in both the directions. We would like to have customisation options wh...

It is already widely used
