Ram Elements Report

This document provides the results of a structural analysis of a steel connection referred to as CVR_CBF Connection ID 1. The connection involves a chevron brace configuration with gusset plates. The demands on the connection from two load cases D3 and D5 are reported, including axial forces of 164 kips and -168 kips on the bottom left and right braces respectively. Design checks are performed on the welds, gusset capacities, and member capacities and all check ratios are reported to be less than 1, indicating the design is adequate.
