    Rotational Ductility for Shear Tabs

    JoshPlum, Thanks for the response and the information. In theory that now make tons of sense. However, I would expect that setting the Shear Yield of the Plate equal to the Available Weld Strength would yield me a result (based on strength of material, weld and weld size) that is similar in...

    Weld Strength in Tension (RISAConnection)

    JoshPlum, I appreciate the suggestion, however I am using a Demo copy to evaluate the software for personal use and this was one of the items that I was looking at (for a Girder-Beam Single Angle Connection). That is the reason I didn't send any of this information to RISA as I figured someone...

    Weld Strength in Tension (RISAConnection)

    I am new to using RISAConnection and with that in mind, I am attempting to verify some of the calculations in order to decide if I want to continue to use it. For this particular calculation I am having trouble determining how RISAConnection is calculating r0 for out-of-plane strength when I...

    Rotational Ductility for Shear Tabs

    Hello Everyone, I am evaluating RISA Connection as part of the process for a project on steel connections. My question is concerning the checks for Rotational Ductility for shear tabs. I have been trying to determine (from their Help topics and other research) how RISAConnection is...
