• Design of Solid slab (Conventional slabs)

    Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…
  • Dummy beam

    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?

  • How to model continuous beams?!

    Hi everyone, I'm a new user of RAM Steel Beam and of this website. I am doing my beam design now. I have been modelling for all of last week, but for some reason, can't figure out how to model continuous beams! When I add a beam over a column in RAM Modeler…
  • Composite Beam Deflection Query

    I am designing a composite floor system as my first project in RAM. As I was looking at the composite beam deflections and checking them to make sure I understood and agreed, it seemed that the Post-Composite Beam Deflections for a S-S beam with a UDL…
  • Modeler not showing fixity for gravity beam members

    Hi everyone, I have been using RAM Structural Systems for just a week now. After laying out my gravity steel beam members in RAM Modeler, I have an option for Assigning beam fixity, but when I click to select my beams for different fixity options, which…
  • Tension Only member with initial axial capacity

    Hello to all, In reality horizontal braces (or vertical brace, beam, etc) that is design for tension only resist "some" axial compression capacity. Is there a way that this axial compression capacity can be input in STAAD? For example, a horizontal…
  • Use of the concrete IS 13920 parameters

    Sir, Kindly help how to make use of the EUDL and GLD parametesrs as given in the Indian Codes - Concrete Design Per IS13920 8A1.5 Column Design. I tried many means to input the same but failed. I need how to input the command and where…
  • Beam "extension" at multi-story column

    When you model a cantilever beam with type "extension" at a lower level of a multi-story column, does RAM SS analyze the column as continuous or does it assume the beam essentially passes through the column? In other words, do the moments from the cantilever…
