Hello,
RAM Concrete Column module requires a closer tie spacing near the top of column sighting the ACI 318-14 10.6.2.1/10.6.2.2. When checking the analysis results, the shear Vu does not exceed 0.5xPhixVc for any load combination. Question: Why RAM is giving the warning the bar spacing is larger than the code limit when the applied shear, Vu is less than 0.5xPhixVc? See snip below.
Thanks,
Shahid
What version are you using? The last report I had of this (566539) is pretty old and should have been fixed many version ago (v16).
I am using 17.02.00.130 SES, which is not that old.
If you can send me your model, or even a test model where this problem presents itself, I can check it in the current verison to confirm if it's something we fixed or if there is another explanation.
