  • Best method for modeling concrete shear wall with pilaster boundary element

    I am using RAM SS to evaluate concrete shear walls in an existing building to determine the feasibility of a vertical expansion. All shear walls are 12" thick. Typical single-direction shear walls have 24" X 24" boundary elements on their ends. Boundary…
  • 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?
  • RAM Frame - Rigid Links at Coupling Beams between Concrete Shear Walls

    Hello, I am modeling a high-rise concrete structure with lateral force resisting systems consisting of concrete shear walls with coupling beams and slab-column moment frame interactive system (wind only, no seismic loads). I am trying to understand…
  • Cracked Section Factors in RAM Modeler

    Hi all, this post is almost entirely directed at the Bentley folks, because I want to make sure that RAM SS has been updated to take into account the cracked section factor on slabs as I would assume. From previous emails with Bentley I was informed that…
  • Stability Index ACI 318-08 Equation 10-10

    I was wondering if RAM SS in either RAM Concrete or RAM Frame can calculate the stability index as noted in ACI 318-08 equation 10-10? If the program cannot calculate the stability index is their a procedure of how to get the variables that are required…
  • RAM Structural Systems - Bundled Rebar in Concrete Columns

    Does anyone know if/how you can model bundles of rebar in RAM Structural System? Currently I'm only seeing the equal spacing method for placing rebar within the concrete columns, but this is overly conservative when considering the bending stress in the…
