  • Steel Beams to Lateral Concrete Columns

    As shown in the image above, a project we have has steel beams connected to concrete columns. Based on geometry alone there should be a moment applied to the column during design in the Concrete module. Added to this, the red beam on the left has a gravity…

  • RAM Frame - Moderately Ductile Beam Requirements

    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…

  • RAM Structural System - Load Distribution on Lateral Walls

    In RAM SS, how does the program distributes the lateral load (seismic and wind) in a rigid and non-rigid diaphragm? What are the differences in outcome with the different diaphragm types specified? My problem: In the picture below, I am showing a…

  • Moment Not Transferred To Beam Ends Correctly

    Hello, The moment in my frame does not seem to be correctly transferring to the fixed ends of the steel beams. All of the moment connections are set to a fixity of "XXX" and are lateral members. The ends do have moment values but seem to be way smaller…

  • how to get the loadings details in report????

    I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?

  • RE: How to model a cantilever beam?

    Is there something undesirable about the "pure cantilever" treatment of the gravity stub cantilever beam? Surely that is what most users would want out of gravity-only beam analysis in RAM Steel. When you make the beam (and the supporting column) lateral…

  • RE: RAM Steel Beam vs Frame

    The braces are not considered in the Ram Steel analysis. The comment from the Analysis Notes wiki that everything is pinned is an oversimplification. Cantilever beams and Stub cantilevers are still treated as fixed. I'll edit that wiki in a moment to…

  • Ram Frame Pnt > Pe2x errors

    I have a 4 story building that is "L-shaped". Currently I have moment frames from the foundation to the roof in both wings and I've even tried having some down the middle. I followed the Ram Frame tutorial as best as I could (no pictures), but I seem…
