• RE: RAM Frame Single Angle AISC Code Check (Compression)

    Sometimes when there is a new code edition our structural software (Ram, Staad, etc.) will all use a freshly developed common code component. I think that's the case here, but single angle compression checks should be included in that component. It's…

  • RAM Concept - Cross-section trimming of girders at joists

    Is there a way to prevent RAM Concept from including joist spans in the cross-section trimming for a girder? Whenever this occurs, it overestimates the capacity of the section and potentially results in an unrealistic reinforcement design. For example…

  • RE: RAM Concept - Cross-section trimming of girders at joists

    You might be able to adjust the cross section spacing so that they happen to miss or skip all the joists, but if the spacing is irregular that does not always work. For those cases the only sure solution is to define the span in short span segments from…

  • RE: light gauge steel bearing walls

    That's an interesting approach, a gravity wall with lateral columns at the ends and nodal loads applied if I understand you correctly. That should work fine.
