Results
| Capacity | RAM Connection | Reference | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shear in threaded rods | 34.61 | 34.2 | 2 |
| Bolt bearing at HSS walls | 75.9 | 75.9 | 0 |
| Bolt bearing at shear plates | 50.6 | 50.6 | 0 |
| Plate shear yielding | 90 | 90 | 0 |
| Plate shear rupture | 62.1 | 62.1 | 0 |
| Block shear rupture | 72.52 | 76.2 | 4 |
| Weld capacity | 70.23 | 79.5 | 9 |
- Weld capacity difference due to incorrect eccentricity consideration on reference.
- Block shear rupture difference due to incorrect Anv calculation on reference.
