• Modeling Slopped Roofs and Impacts on Wind Design

    Lately I've been running into issues with my lateral analysis on a large, square steel framed building. The roof is an 1-1/2" metal deck that slopes in one direction and drops 10' over the length of the building, which I've modeled as a semirigid diaphragm…

  • UC Ratio problem

    warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys

  • Are Superimposed Dead Loads added to the Mass?

    Are superimposed dead loads applied in the forms of line, area, and point loads added to the mass in RAM Frame automatically or does the user need to add the dead load into the "Dead Load" AND "Mass Dead Load" dialog? The following links only describe…

  • RE: Multiple Live Loads

    In Ram Modeler the live loads are either part of the main live load case (reducible, unreducible and storage type loads) or part of the roof live case (roof or snow) only. You can't force the program into having more distinct live load cases. Wind loads…

  • RE: Lateral Frame Design on a Building on a Radius

    Program generated wind and seismic loads are generated based on the global X and Y axes. While some angled loads are also applied to take care of things like seismic orthogonal effects or wind eccentricity, there is not a simple override to change the…

  • RE: Import User Defined Story Forces into RAM Frame?

    Once you start a new user defined story force the tale of values (force, angle location) is a table that can be copied or pasted over, so if you have that data in a spreadsheet you can quickly paste the data into Ram Frame quickly. You just can't use…
