The soil is a hard rock and when designing the foundation, I need to use steel piles for the foundation.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>Is it possible to change the piles from concrete to steel? I only see the concrete option when in RAM foundation.</p> <p></p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Matt</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/113362/how-to-input-lateral-systems-in-ramThu, 12 Nov 2015 22:14:53 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:6ea78f32-09b8-4e56-8555-6caac659dcf7Matthew Miele<p>When I go into RAM Frame, I get the message &quot;No lateral member or connected member found for diaphragm 1 for fifth story.....&quot; I wondering how and where to assign or place a lateral system/bracing etc.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>Any help would be appreciated.</p> <p></p> <p>Thank you</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
