Connector Spacing for Double Angles

Maximum connector spacing for double angles is assumed to be limited to no more than 75% of the largest effective length divided by radius of gyration of the single angles that comprise the double angle. Based on this maximum spacing the

Max Connector Spacing = 0.75 x max ( L major/r maj, L minor/r minor ) * rz

RAM Frame then calculates the minimum number of equal length segments that don’t exceed this maximum spacing length.
