Hi, I'm working on a mild reinforced slab and it seems to be working fine, however im getting a warning that says some of my rebar is out of seciton. I already checked and the user defined rebar is within the trimmed section, i looked at the Cross Sections…

Hello Everyone Please share with me the tutorials about a combined footings

I am working on a two story steel building and am experiencing issues with the beam optimization. RAM is currently using a loading combination for some beams, displayed below, that is not the maximum loading so the beams are designed too small. Instead…

Ram Elements: I am currently trying to model a load bearing 8" concrete wall with 25'-0" opening. I have gravity loads acting in plane and wind load acting out of plane. I wanted to know if the concrete wall above the opening (about 4'-0") is designed…

I tried it quite times looking at responses here still I could not resolved it can any one help me with ? and check in the file as I shared it here. 5807.TK_STR.STD

I have a system of "Other" walls that I'd like to pull line load reactions from. What is the difference between DL1 and DL2/ LL1 and LL2?

When I use the "recover load conditions" button on the "Load conditions" panel on the home tab, I often end up with seemingly random loads on members. Some are user inputs and others are from area pressures. I keep clearing them out in the spreadsheet…

I want to model the frame as shown in the picture below in RAM Elements. The clouded regions shown is the shear only transfer splice connection. All other connections are pinned connections. My question is, how do I model the frame in RAM Elements? …

Hi All, The company I work for has been using RAM Structural System for a few decades now. One of the reasons we've decided to keep using RAM for all these years is because we are often acquired to renovate or make additions to an existing structure…

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…

Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?

I am trying to rebuild my RAM edge of slab outside of the program using node coordinates. I am currently using the "Data Echo" data export in RAM Structural System, but as can be seen in my screen shot, the "Data Echo" does not specify whether the Edge…

I have a computer with RAM Structural System installed, but the 'RAMDataAccess 2.0 Type Library' reference in VBA is missing. Can I install this online or how do I get this crucial reference to be available on my computer?

Hello Everyone How can I reduce the development length bars in the beam (Figure 1-1), I'm running to get a result like this beam (figure 2-1) Figure 1-1 Figure 2-1

Hi, In RAM Steel Column, when I turn off the Skip-load the Live Load around column, it still shows skip load case as a controlling axial load in the report.

How do I change Mton/Cm to Kn/m

I am reviewing the moment diagrams generated by RAM Concept, and I am observing a moment diagram for a typical bay. The shorter beam (page north-south) would have a large positive moment at the center of the bay, and I do not see that behavior. I see…

Im working on SCBF connection and demand is coming from yield strength of the brace how ever code allows to use seismic load comb with omega factor instead, and in RAM Frame I already checked that option for column capacity, but when I go to RAM connection…

So I saw a previous post about how an older version of RAM had this same issue, where the concrete column module would only run the first time the analysis was done and then after that it would crash unless you installed some sort of patch or used a stand…

In RAM Elements is there a way to input a torsional load on a member? Or does the torsional load have to come from another member (such as a cantilever) with a load on it?

Dear all Greetings. I have model here contains of the main frame "rafter +column" (for gravity load +lateral load) + the lateral system (strut pipe +x bracing). my question is :-----design output shows the highlighted member fail due to gravity…

Good Day, I would like to pose a question relating to the comparison between the RAM suite of software and those included with STAAD. Traditionally, my firm has used STAAD to complete all our structural analysis and design, however, considering as the…

I am trying to make a macro by which it can extract results from the envelope is it possible?

When designing composite steel girders, does RAM Steel Beam consider the self-weight of beams supported by the girder and the line loads on those beams as non-composite loads or post composite loads?

T-beam bridge is a monolithic structure of slab and girders. Is Creating deck and beams separately gives good results ? how to model the above section?
