Hi Eric,

I have tried using DA Tilt-up Tool spreadsheet. But it is producing wrong values of OOP BM and showing the width of openings as 0 in most of the panels. If you have some tips to use this tool effectively, It would be highly appreciated and helpful.

Thanks & regards.

The link above should work now. There is also one more recorded workshop that you can access here

Is this webinar still available to watch? I can't seem to find anywhere and the link is dead. Thanks!

Thank you for the clarification on the timeline. I was just at an ACI 318-19 seminar all day yesterday where Dr Wight and Trey went over the code changes. For sure shear equations is going to be big change, hooked bar development length...anyways these changes are going to be interesting communicating to clients...as an footings have just gotten deeper with the code changes....If you are planning to implement the ACI 318-19 changes that would be interesting for us to explore the software further.

Thank you

There are some prerequisite enhancements that must take place that have tentatively been planned for the next 6 months. Plus, ACI 318-16 is on the horizon. I'm hoping we can start working on wall piers in Q3 or Q4 2020.

Do you have an estimated time when the wall piers will be implemented?

Thank you. That answers my question. Much appreciated.

The tilt-up workflow demonstrated has been fit into the existing architecture in RAM Structural System. There is no additional module to be purchased. If you have a license for RAM Structural System, you can use these tilt-up features in v17.00.

Previous versions of RAM Concrete Shear Wall (renamed Concrete Wall in v17) already had many of the 18.10 special wall provisions implemented. Section 18.11, special precast walls, references 18.10, so there were no seismic provisions implemented specifically for tilt-up. If special walls are selected in the Concrete Wall - Criteria - Design Criteria, the 18.10 provisions that are implemented are applied to cast-in-place and tilt-up walls.

Wall piers (18.10.8) have not been implemented, but are a high priority enhancement that we hope to get to in the near future.

Does in plane shear design, including special seismic requirements from chapter 18 of ACI 318 implemented in the tilt up module? Is this module available as a standalone or do you need to purchase the RSS?
