Steel Shapes
Note: For Double Angles,
Single Angles, Tees, Round Bars, and Flat Bars the bending capacities are not
calculated (effectively 0.0). For Single Angles, Round Bars, and Flat Bars the
axial compression capacity is not calculated (effectively 0.0).
Note: Round bars, flat bars,
built-up channels, and built-up tube shapes are not currently designed to the
IS 800-07 design code.
If a section that has an axial compressive capacity of 0.0 has been assigned to a member that takes a compressive force in RAM Frame Analysis, an error message will be given to the user in both the View/Update dialogue and the Member Code Check report. Likewise, an error will be generated if a section that has a bending capacity of 0.0 is assigned to a member that takes a moment in the RAM Frame analysis. It should be noted that these error messages are based on the forces in the respective member, not on whether an actual Tension-Only assignment has been made to the member.
