Hello,
I am currently working on a concrete building with the lateral load resisting system being composed of coupled shear walls. I have been using RAM SS Concrete to design the rebar so far. There are doorway openings in some of the walls and I will need to add couplings beams above the openings. I have done this before with RAM, however, the software will not let me add coupling beams this time around.
If anyone has any insight to why this is happening or how I can fix the issue that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
This seems to have been the issue. Thank you.
When I have seen this in a the past it has invariably been a result of having a wall with some very slight mis-alignment. A segmented wall where the two segments are not exactly parallel, for example. The solution is to align the model in Modeler - ideally align them all to a grid intersection, and recheck. Regretfully, moving the walls this way requires the Wall Design Groups and section cuts to be recreated.
