RAM steel output information

James Frodsham — Wed, 11 Nov 2015 17:08:57 GMT

Hello,

I am looking to interrogate some of the output information that RAM is giving me.

Firstly, is there any more "in-depth" output than going through Reports-beam designs? Just wondering whether I am missing something obvious.

Also in the BS5950 design if you go to the beam designs output this shows a modular ratio of 10, but when RAM calculates the Ip it doesn't seem to use this ratio? How does RAM calculate the Live Load and Post composite load deflection? i.e. what Inertia does it calculate?

I am using BS5950 code to interrogate the output as in the Eurocode beam design report it doesn't specify what modular ratio it is using?

Thanks for your help.

Assigning a natural frequency limits to composite beams (RAM steel)

Hello,

I have completed a model of an entire floor plate and in RAM Steel. I wish to change the design frequency for the composite beams to 4 Hz in some areas and 6 Hz in others.

I cannot find any way of achieving this. I have found a way of changing the natural frequency via the "RAM defaults utility-RAM Steel- Effective Length/Frequency BS5950" but this only changes new models and not existing ones. There must be a way of changing the natural frequency requirements within existing models?

Any help is very much appreciated!
