• RAM Frame Dynamic Analysis Criteria

    When performing a dynamic analysis for Response Spectrum in Ram Frame, is it correct to check the reduced stiffness for steel members in the criteria? I have a situation where I need to scale up my dynamic loads to achieve the 0.85*ELF forces. The question…
  • Site Specific Design Response Spectrum (RAM Frame)

    I've received a site specific spectral acceleration plot from the Geotechnical Engineer. How do I apply this plot with the inputs for RAM Frame? Do I calc the site specific acceleration based on RAM's calculation of the period and compare this to the…
  • RAM Frame - IS 1893:2016 Response Spectra Analysis Scale Factor

    Could someone please confirm that scaling the Response Sectra Analysis generated in RAM Frame using the Indian Standard IS 1893:2016 code does not include an adjustment for the Zone Factor, Z? If this is the case, I would assume the scale factor should…
