Hi
For Column base plate
Is there any option to select no of bolts to be active for shear?
I think RAM considers contribution of all bolts in shear considering different load paths. But practically speaking, there will be some bolts out of tolerance, compared to design. That means during shear some bolts wont be active.
How do we implement this in RAM?. This shall impact bolt shear.
