• "No deck assignment found inside slab boundary on Wall 1".

    All, I started modeling a building with concrete walls, steel joists, and metal decking for the roof. When I am looking at the layout (2d) plan view the deck and joists show just fine. When I go to the 3D viewer or RAM Frame, they do not show and I…

  • Pile-Supported Mat using RAM SS>RAM Concept

    Hello, I'm currently working on a pile-supported mat on ram concept. I modeled my mat using ram modeler. I can only apply my area spring I already have my pile configuration but I cant figure out how I can apply my point spring. please enlighten…

  • RAM concept Syn-chronic to RSS issues

    Hi: I am using RAM concept to set up the 2-Way slab for a general 12-story building with transfer slabs. I synchronized the slab to RSS, then I need to generate analysis model in RSS--> Frame Design-->Generate Analytical Model . there are always some…

  • RAM SS to RAM Concept Load Transfer Failure

    Good Afternoon, I am working in a model of a 2-story MF Residential structure; loads from 4 levels of wood above are applied as Line/Point/Surface loads to the 2-story concrete structure in RAM. All the design modules seem to work fine (No errors/warnings…

  • Balanced Load Causing Foundation Uplift

    I have a podium PT slab that is causing large balanced load couple reactions on my shear walls and forcing my mat foundations to have significant uplift. The PT slab is designed in RAM Concept and the reactions are exported to our RSS model then exported…

  • 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?

  • MAT FOUNDATION IN RAM CONCEPT

    Hi everyone. I am fairly new to RAM. I was trying to export my mat foundation from RAM SS to RAM concept. I checked everything to be exported to RAM concept including columns, beams, loads, etc. However, my column does not seem to appear in RAM concept…

  • Exporting Loads from RAM Structural System to RAM Concept

    When exporting loads from RAM Structural system to RAM Concept, I receive this error as RAM starts up. After clicking 'ok' and proceeding past this error - it appears that the only transfer loads exported into RAM concept are Dead & Live, but no lateral…

  • RE: modeling non-loadbearing masonry infill shear walls

    I see. Yes, the "Other" material walls are not transferred so they don't take any gravity reactions in Ram Concept. The updated column reactions are presumably larger and those updated column reactions can be used in Concrete Column design (assuming you…

  • RE: modeling non-loadbearing masonry infill shear walls

    All lateral walls in RAM Structural System are load bearing. There are ways to frame around the wall with beams such that very little of the gravity load reaches the wall, but there is no setting in the program to make the walls not load bearing. I'm…

  • RE: RAM Structural System & RAM Concept reactions differing

    Are you talking about the column below reactions due to a Lateral SE load? Those are generally 0 in Concept as the columns have been removed from the stiffness matrix in the Lateral SE analysis. Or are you talking about the forces in the slab as a result…

  • RE: Does Ram product is applicable to use in Singapore?

    Yes, they are. These are the design codes we support in those applications. Ram Structural System Loading and LL reduction codes Steel Design Codes Concrete Design Codes IBC (and other US codes) AISC (various editions) …

  • RE: Assigning Imposed Lateral Loads in RAM SS for Use in RAM Concept

    If you are going to apply the loads as lateral nodal loads in RAM SS, then those loads do have to be assigned at nodes, the ends of lateral members. If you end up transferring that load case to Ram Concept it will not be in self-equilibrium (since some…

  • RE: RAM Concept - Lateral Self Equilibrium - user defined lateral nodal loads

    You will need ot make sure that the summation of the moments about a point is zero and that the sum of Fz forces is also zero. If you don't then the program will simply add a stabilizing forces (843 pounds net in your case) so that it is in equilibrium…

  • Ram Concept Connect V6.0 Running Slow With Ram Structural Link

    After our office updated Ram Concept to the Connect V6.0 edition the program has been running very slow with any model that is either linked or severed from the Ram Structural model. Initially we assumed the slow run time was due to the additional lateral…

  • RE: Is there any way for my load combinations that I have to input one by one to not disappear every time I reopen a Concept model linked to SS?

    If you are going to adjust the load combos we recommend using Ram Concept separately (stand-alone) and then importing the RAM SS file once (File - Sync Ram - New from ...). The combos are still going to get reset if you have to import and update data…

  • RE: RAM Load Combination

    A bit off topic, but when using the RAM Structural System -> Ram Concept direct link from Ram Manager, load combinations are always regenerated as you noted. If you use Ram Concept stand-alone and import the Ram SS model you can then revise the Concept…

  • RE: RAM SS - Transfer loads are not transferred to RAM Concept

    I have seen this once before. The problem is the yellow model status light for the Ram Frame analysis. This can happen if the steel beam or steel column design is skipped because the program thinks some of the member self-weights might be missing…

  • RE: RAM SS &RAM Concept Interaction

    The feature in Ram Concept, File – Sync Ram Structural System – Export Geometry to Ram Structural System… is intended to be used when you have an existing Ram Concept file and you want to create a new RAM SS model from it (or at least a new level type…

  • 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…

  • Modeling a Waffle slab

    Is it possible to design a waffle slab with RAM Concept? If so, can it be modeled in Modeler, then exported to Concept? If I have a 4" topping slab on 12" deep ribs, I imagine that I would input 12" deep concrete beams at 2'-0" o.c. in one direction and…
