Enhancement submitted on behalf of Larry R Brock Jr. CS0181629 - PBI PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 1408852:

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. See attached image as reference.

    This enhancement has been added in RAM Connection 2025, please "Consider AISC bolt checks" and then define "Top washer plates" which consider oversize holes. This will enable the bending calculation of bolts according to the AISC Design Guide 1 Third Edition.
