Connection Design Overview - Part 4: RAM Connection Standalone: Design using Templates || AISC, IS

In this video, I will cover different methods to design a connection in RAM Connection standalone version. In the last part, I covered how we can provide basic joint data and load information to design a connection using basic or smart connection template. In this video, we will explore these two modules, followed by a detail discussion on how we can use a specific template for connection design, it might be a standard template from any country database or a custom company specific template.
For any steel structure, connections are the most vulnerable part, and we need to design these properly considering all factors and check whether it can withstand the critical most loading condition. For any industrial or commercial steel building, like a plant or pipe rack structure, or a PEB warehouse, there are thousands of connections which we need to design, including member to member, bracing or base plate connection. To design any connection, we require the geometric data - like section information, orientation, spacing along with the load data, or member end forces. Based on this, connection design is performed.

Good work sir thank you for your videos....
Am working on my final year project on PEB so can you Suggest me a topic to do project on PEB
Thank you❤

[@surojit_ghosh]

You can work on PEB optimization, section or profile optimization is a good topic.

[@rahimmirza7438]

@surojit_ghosh thank you sir i will discuss with my guide🫡🙂

Dear is there any option to provide stiffener on both side Moment extended End Plate connection ( if yes kindly tell me )

[@surojit_ghosh]

I presume it is a beam column flange type of MEP connection and you want to provide stiffener plate in both side of the web. It is possible to include such stiffener plate (top, bottom or both) in both side of the web along with diagonal stiffener or doubler plate. After design, from connection pad, you can provide this type of stiffener.

@@surojit_ghosh I checked beam to beam connection the stiffeners option is not available

[@Enfld1122]

Can RAM CONNECTION STAND-ALONE design base-plate (gusseted column base with stiffener) ? Can it design anchor bolts as per indian code ? Is it checks all clauses of IS 800: 700 ?

[@surojit_ghosh]

Yes, it can design a gusseted base plate connection with stiffener plate. All design checks are performed including anchor bolt and concrete block checks.

Thanks, Can RAM CONNECTION STAND ALONE checks the concrete pedestal for truncated conical failure, when anchor bolts is in tension ?, as per Indian code ?
