  • Precompression Failure

    Hello, I am seeing a precompression failure for my two-way slab with opening infill beams (Layers > Deign Status > Status Plan). When I go to use the Auditor tool, I do not see much information about the precompression failure (i.e., the needed precompression…
  • Primary and Secondary beams Intersection vs merge

    Hello Everyone Which is better to intersect the primary beam and secondary beam (Figure1), or Merge the primary beam to be one (Figure2)?
  • 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…
  • Beams in One way Slab - Column Design Strip width smaller than beam width

    When running my model, I noticed I was getting column design strips widths smaller than the width of my beam. I changed my settings in the strip generation tab to column strip width calc for "Code T-beam" and checked the box "design column strip for column…

  • RE: Modeling of a Non post tensioned beam in a post tensioned slab.

    Model just what you have, the beams, the slab the tendons. Place a design strip along the beam for the design of the beam only and in the General tab uncheck the box to "Consider as Post-Tensioned". The forces in the strip are not affected by this selection…
  • RE: Ram Concept- Shear Reinforcement

    If you look closely at the section audit for a section from each case and compare them side by side it's a little easier to tell what is most significant. Below is a table of just a few lines from the audit to help you, ultimately is a small change in…
  • RAM Concept Reinforcement Detailed Bars Perspective

    I am modeling a suspended slab on grade with grade beams. In the Design status, it shows the shear reinforcement in the beams but when I look at the Reinforcement detailed bars perspective, it shows the shear reinforcement coming out of the beams through…
  • Meshing beams with slabs vs. Not

    For a two-way slab, when would it be applicable to mesh a beam as slab and when is it not?
