Hi, I'm using RAM SS Concrete design module to design a Tilt-up wall that resists lateral force.
Q1. I applied a manual reinforcement, however, it seems like the reinforcement in not considered in the strength calculation.Please see the attached file.
What would be the problem here?
Q2. When I'm using concrete module >> Concrete Wall. The program crashes quite often. I'm using Ver. 17.04. and I send a crash report several times.
Is there anything I should keep in mind to prevent the program from crashing?
Thank you.
In the manual reinforcement layout "Add" a Zone, then align the edge of that with the edge of the opening. Make the reinforcing in Zone 2 the same as zone 1. You may want 2 more zones (4 total) if those end pieces are short walls.
Thank you for the response, Seth!I did also try that, but I still have the same problem...
It's hard for me to tell how this was built. Why for example are the lower stories segmented near mid-length but not the upper stories? Is the opening an opening or a wall that is omitted? If it's important to correct, then you might have to remodel the walls. Keep consistent segmenting on all stories and make sure openings that nearly align are the exact same width and horizontal offset. Doing that will, however, force you to start over with wall design groups, section cuts and manual reo.
