• Modeling mat foundation with timber piles in RAM Concept

    Hello! I wish to design a mat slab supported on timber piles in RAM Concept. Would anyone suggest the right way of modeling this in RAM concept and also the properties that would be idea to assume for timber piles? Thank you!

  • RAM Structural System & RAM Concept column moments differ

    Hi, When I design concrete columns in RAM Concrete, it uses the cracked factors of the slab and column in RAM Modeler. If I model the slabs with bending cracked factor of 0.25 and column cracked factor of 0.7 per ACI, I get significantly higher moments…

  • Design of Solid slab (Conventional slabs)

    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…

  • Column Design Forces from Concept not Updating Properly

    I have a multi level concrete building modeled in RAM. I used RAM Concept to design the post tension slabs, but now now one of the levels is not properly updating in RAM Concrete. When I go to the "Column Design Forces" in the Concrete module all of the…

  • 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?

  • RE: How do columns designed for post-tensioned garage in Ram structural system?

    If you integrate the RAM Structural System model with Ram Concept for the design of the PT slab and beams, then the modified column reactions from the Balanced Load are sent back to Ram Concrete and are used in combination with gravity and lateral loads…

  • RE: RAM Concept model not exporting back into RSS

    You are correct. The only thing sent from an integrated RAM Structural System and Concept model pair from Concept back to RAM SS are the dead, live and hyperstatic reactions which get used in the RAM Concrete Column design. This way you can have a basic…

  • 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…

  • RAM Concept - Pardiso Internal Error message. Help needed!

    Hi, I am modelling a reinforced concrete floor slab on columns and am getting the following message on running the Load History Deflections: "An error occurred while trying to calculate load history deflections. Pardiso internal - unstable structure…
