I am working on one-way slab supported by mild reinforced concrete beams. The beam is trimmed as a T-section with flange width of 99". I drew #4 at 18" (full slab area) on top of the slab in the direction parallel to the beam, which make 5-#4 (total As…

I am modeling a one-way concrete slab. PT girders are in perimeter and in the north-south direction, and mild reinforced infill concrete beam in the east-west direction. When I checked mild reinforced concrete design, I noticed the cross-section at end…

Hi I am designing a steel building using SCBF's and I was wondering if there is any procedure or way to check the beams inside RAM at the SCBF's per the seismic provisions (ASCE 341-10 Section F2.3(i) and (ii)) ? I know RAM checks for the required column…

Hi, I am trying to export a csv or excel file where I can see the maximum Dead and Live/Roof live load moments in each beam. I need to obtain them unfactored to post-process them in excel. The table would simply have the beam label, Md and ML. I've been…

I have a location where two deck types meet, one with a roof loading and the other with a floor loading. There is an odd line load being applied in the analysis that is greatly affecting the design on my beams and columns. I cannot see to find the source…

Hi, I am modelling a beam with a change of deck along the length of the beam (half of the beam has a W2+3.5" verco deck, and the other half has a W2+2" deck). I read this response: Effects of Changing Deck Type - RAM | STAAD | ADINA Wiki - RAM | STAAD…

Hey I am also getting the same problem as a new beginner I didn't understood the offset removing answer ( communities.bentley.com/.../staad-rcdc---beam-bm-detailing-failure) how do I remove offset I have already created mesh and now every beam got divided…

I Have created a model in staadpro and analyzed it and I also used mesh tool for slab design now after creating mesh the beams are divided into small length ..... no problem till now but when I import this model in RCDC the beams are not loading (i think…

I have an 8"x16" concrete beam and in the end span of a multi-span condition, it says the bottom flexural beam reinforcement fails code limit by 1 bar. I have 2-#5 bars currently for all spans and for every other span, this is adequate and meets all code…

While design beam RCDC provide min 3 no of bars in the moment area how to bypass this check .There should be option in the RCDC to consider or not to consider this clause ?

1) Design check by IS Code 800-2007 LSD fails gives result of Bending Ratio = “INFINITY”, which passes with AISC 360-10 ASD Ratio 0.44! Also IS 800 code output does not give any ratio in both major, minor axis! 2) Is this 12 mm Flange thickness is critical…

How to get the max and min forces in each member ? Not to get the max of a selected group. need to get the maxm forces of each members (beams/column)

We often need to analyze existing PEMB structures and when only existing loads are applied the structure still fails. We have used the MBMA special considerations option in our design and that does not seem to help. What are we missing? Is there another…

hello everyone,i am getting warning, can anyone help me out in removing those warning. warning are- 1.WARNING:Section fails while detailing 2.WARNING:Section fails while designing section: 3. WARNING:Reinforcement % exceeds maximum limit

I have a building with screen wall loads on the roof. These loads act as a couple with the main post and the kicker having reactions in opposite directions. When I add these loads to the ram model, ram beam module is only considering the downward gravity…

Good Afternoon, My computer updated RAM to the latest software version 17.03.00 285 SES overnight, and my model went from no beam design errors to 1500 deflection errors. Upon investigation I discovered that this is happening because RAM seems to…

Hi, I wanted to see what everyone's preferred workflow is in RAM SS for extracting the moment reactions for each beam in a moment frame to add to your documentation? To my knowledge I don't think there is a report available to give the max/ min moments…

Dear Bentley team, I encountered an issue regarding crack width calculation in RCDC with ACI 318M-14 code, described as follows: Refer to the outputs attached below. The considered beam is B5 and Zone is Top right. When beam is designed with permissible…

Bentley Team, How is the effective depth for beam being calculated for a beam with two or more numbers of layers in RCDC software? Please provide the basis and validation for the same. I could find some formula related to effective depth in FAQ…

I am getting an illegal framing configuration on Beam 42 on the lower level of my model. The data check rings up no warnings for the framing condition. However, when i run the beam design i get the error message for Beam 42 located on the diagonal A9…

6116.CONCRETE LOAD COMBO.std RCDC V10 I dont know what went wrong I tried bigger sizes of beam and bars but still wont work. pls help

I am looking at the requirements of the beam at the second story of the chevron BRBF. Why is RAM Frame checking Beam ductility using the Diagonal Brace requirements of AISC 341-16? The output clearly says it does not check the axial demand in the beam…

PDF Dear communities, Please provide me the solution or method to design & analysis the STEPPED column. For the reference, I have attached the pdf file, please check it & provide me the solution. Thank you.

Hi. I brought in beam sizes to my RAM model from Revit using ISM. The sizes are showing up fine. The problem I have is that number of studs have changed to zero. Is there a way to automatically change the studs to the correct number? The only way I…

Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?
