Connection V8i
Everything You Need for Steel Connection Design
Automated Connection Design
Designing, checking and optimizing shear, moment, gusset,
splice, bracket, and base-plate connections, according
to AISC (ASD or LRFD) and BS 5950, has never been this
automated. Designers can assign connections directly to
the nite element model and have RAM Connection V8i
automatically consider member geometric and material
properties and analytical results to choose the desired
connection. The engineer has unlimited exibility to check a
specic connection or optimize all connections individually
or in groups.
Integrated Connection Design
RAM Connection V8i is the rst fully integrated steel
connection design and optimization tool in the industry.
RAM Connection V8i works as a stand alone program or
can be integrated with RAM Elements, STAAD.Pro V8i and
RAM Structural System V8i.
Provides Unlimited Flexibility
A users ofce standards, rules of thumb or connection
expertise can be brought together into the connection
designs because RAM Connection V8i allows users to
customize vast portions of the design. Users can also
choose from RAM Connection V8i large database of
predened connections to meet your design needs. RAM
Connection V8i goes even further by providing report with
explicit equations and references to the design standard.
A Myriad of Connections
at Your Fingertips
Either designing a shear connection (shear tab, clip angle,
end plate), a moment connection (ange plates, directly
welded anges), a combined connection (extended end plate) or
a gusset connection for braces, RAM Connection V8i is all that
is needed. All design checks are done for you immediately
so comparing different connection options for a particular
problem is easy.
Cutting-Edge Graphics
RAM Connection V8i also raises the bar with its
breakthrough graphics. This feature allows accurate
3D views of t-up and clearance to ensure the structure
works and reduces on-site connection issues.
Details Produced Automatically
RAM Connection V8i saves time and increases accuracy
by generating details directly from the designs through a
DXF output le.
Deals With Changes Easily
RAM Connection V8i can easily handle changes that occur
during the lifecycle of the project. RAM Connection V8i
saves time even when sweeping changes are required.
Seismic Design Included
To address ever-changing and time-consuming code
requirements, RAM Connection V8i includes AISC seismic
provision checks in the designs.
RAM Connection V8i can be used as a stand alone program or fully integrated with
RAM Structural System V8i, RAM Elements, and STAAD.Pro

V8i for steel connection design.


RAM Connection V8i provides powerful connection check or design in seconds. To check a specic
connection, design a single connection for multiple joints or optimize each connection in your
structure, RAM Connection V8i gets you there quicker than ever before.
RAM Connection V8i works as a stand
alone program or integrated with
RAM Elements, STAAD.Pro V8i, and
RAM Structural System V8i.
