RE: Limcon Shear Tabs
Is that a reference to the 2010 or 2004 CISC Handbook of Steel Construction? I ask because only 2004 is implemented in Limcon. Also, is there a cross reference in the Steel Construction manual itself...

View ArticleHow can I get bending moment results at Global axis?
 Hello; I described a foundation for my StaadPro model. And then I recognized that plates element's local axis are different. So I can't get safe values of one direction's bending moment.   So; Can I...

From what I know there isn't much of a design procedure for this, I would be very happy if someone was able to point me in the right direction if there is one. I referenced the 2004 CISC handbook and...

RE: Potential Error for Tensile Rupture on a WT section in RAM Connection
I will log this as a defect and alert the development team. The connection associated with this issue is shown below:The brace is a WT 7x30.5 and I see the same x_bar is used for the case where the...

Hi Sye, You're right. I thought this solution but I have foundations that have different depth. So also I want to know which plate has got 1m depth or 1.5 m depth.I cant check it for every single plates.
