Shear reinforcement check for concrete breakout in shear lug case
Referring to Fig. R17.7.2.1a & Fig. R17.11.3.1 from ACI318-19 (refer attached sketch), these are the two similar concrete breakout failures one in case of Anchor bolts (case 1) and other for shear lug (case 2). In both cases, concrete breakout...
Sería ideal que en futuras versiones de RAM Connection se incorpore la funcionalidad de imprimir los reportes de las juntas de forma simultánea. Esto evitaría la necesidad de imprimirlos uno por uno, lo cual puede resultar un proceso tedioso y poc...
Column and Beam Splice connection considering seismic provision AISC 341
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.
Designing a Vertical X-brace connection with one member continuous
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...
Allow gusset BASE PLATE connections to be assigned at corner columns connected to braces in two directions.
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.
In this version, each joints are designed after they are selected as per each type but too many case should be designed manually. Interface of RAM is great but it takes much time to input all the data of joints.
Suggested as below;
1. Joint grou...
