Hey everyone, We are working on a P-T slab design in RAM concept and are encountering this situation where we have two models(Models 1 and 2 attached below) with exact same parameters (Loading, slab thickness, concrete str, Tendon layout etc.) but Model…

I have modeled a 1-way PT slab and beam system starting with RSS and importing into Concept. At the lowest level I have several columns that need to jog. The audits on the strips at those locations produce a couple sections with errors that suggest removing…

Hi, I'm using RAM Concept to do a load run down. I'm trying to use a live load reduction factor in my calculation. This is what I've done below accordance to FAQ but the results reaction still doesn't provide any live load reduction to me. I've…

I am designing a PT parking garage that starts in structural system and uses concept to design the floor plates. I have ramps created as intermediate levels that make the column lengths in concept too short which affects the stiffness and hyperstatic…

I am analyzing a floor using RAM Concept and I tried adding point spring supports under beams... However, when I try to run the vibration analysis, I get an error saying "An error has occurred while solving the Eigenvalue problem"

I have a flat plate, PT building that we have designed using concept and has already been constructed. Now the owner wants to change the residential penthouse to a nightclub which of course the floor is not designed for. I need to pull out design values…

I have a slab connected by dowels. What properties in the dowel mimicking slab element do i need to reduce to 0.001 to mimic DSDQ dowels please. I have modelled 50mm x 50mm x 50mm dowels in concrete and need to change kFs/kFr/kMrs etc

Are there plans to include ACI 318-19 provisions in any upcoming releases for the RAM programs? If so, is there an ETA on this? Our AHJ will be adopting IBC 2021 in a few months, but we need to have the ability to start designing concrete structures in…

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…

How do I change Mton/Cm to Kn/m

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

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?

Actually i need all members UC Ratio values. How to get all values???? Please guys guide me New folder (2).rar

HI, Can anyone clear my following queries from RAM Concept 1) The Centroid stress plots under the Rule Set design reflects the Precompression forces in the slab ? 2) We have noticed that the precompression value reduces if we put an additional short…

Hi All, I have a basement slab supported by pile caps of various shapes. The slab is 250mm thick, while the pile caps are 1200mm thk. I would like to stop RAM from designing the reinforcement for bending and shear in the thicker areas (i.e. in…

I have looked at the latitude cross-section perspective in my RAM concept model for an elevated floor. I was just wondering what these gaps (shown in the photo) in the strips in the middle of the slab are? and what causes them? One example is shown…

I've attempted to transfer rebar ISM from Concept to Revit following the steps detailed in the hyperlink below. Everything works until I need to separate the top and bottom reinforcing to their respective plan sheets. The problem being there are some…

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…

I am checking an existing elevated mat two way slab. I only included a small dead load to make sure the model would run correctly and the design status is showing failures in sections. The floor was originally designed for a live load of 150 psf and the…

I am working on the analysis of an existing waffle slab structure. I am using a RAM Concept model (started from RSS). I have uploaded the model as Waffle_TDL.zip I'm not sure I've got it set up right, an am looking for some guidance on a variety of…
