Can someone please provide direction on how RAM determines the factored shear Vu used for design of transverse reinforcement for concrete columns in RAM Concrete Column module.

You had posted in the ADINA forum but your question is about RAM. So, I have moved your post to the RAM | STAAD Forum.

This is just the factored demand based on the analysis (probably the Ram Concrete analysis, but possibly the Ram Frame analysis based on the criteria). There are some special seismic provisions that we also consider, but I don't think this pertains here.
