• [STAAD PRO] Ask : API code design parameter

    Gents, today i'm working on pipe/tubular section in my model. to check the ratio in analysis, i'm using API code, but for non tubular section, i use AISC 9th Ed. however, i have some question regarding API code. (i use STAAD Pro v8i SELECT 4 20…

  • Beam "extension" at multi-story column

    When you model a cantilever beam with type "extension" at a lower level of a multi-story column, does RAM SS analyze the column as continuous or does it assume the beam essentially passes through the column? In other words, do the moments from the cantilever…

  • Verification of simple modal analysis in STAAD

    Hi, I am currently working on a project where I wish to use STAAD Pro v8i SS4 to perform a modal analysis to determine the natural frequency of a turbine exhaust extension. This is essentially a vertically orientated, stainless steel tube with intermediate…

  • Fabric sheeting on top of a structure

    Hi, I'm modeling a structure that consists of a series of concrete columns spreaded on the perimeter of a rectangular shape building, and attached to a channel concrete caps that running on top of perimeter columns, then the channel beam is connected…

  • Re: No results in the Beam Graphs

    Answer: The graph does not show any results as Mz, Fy and Fx forces are all 0 in all members on your structure (see the Beam End Forces table in the Forces vertical page). Only My and Fz forces are being developed in the structure, so My and Fz graphs…

  • New RAM user

    Hi everyone. I've set up my model and run the analysis. First question is how do I get printable reports for single (or multiple) beams, which show the bending moment and shear diagrams. I'm using RAM concrete at the moment. Thanks in advance.

  • How to model continuous beams?!

    Hi everyone, I'm a new user of RAM Steel Beam and of this website. I am doing my beam design now. I have been modelling for all of last week, but for some reason, can't figure out how to model continuous beams! When I add a beam over a column in RAM Modeler…

  • Modeling beam and slab connectivity in STAAD Pro

    I am modeling a very wide slab (120' x 30') simply supported on two long opposite edges. It would have been a simple one way slab but it has two edge beams on the shorter (30') edges. The slab is 20" deep and the edge beams are 29" deep x 18" wide. I…

    OS: Windows 7 Ram Structural Version: 14.2.2 When viewing in 3D, we selected a concrete beam to view in elevation. A popup error window appeared that said: "RAMContainer MFC Application has stopped working" Re-installing the application fixed…

  • How to model two parallel beams sitting one on top of the other beam?

    I am designing a steel structure where I need to model one beam sitting on top of another beam (parallel, i.e. bottom flange of top beam sitting on the top flange of of bottom beam for its full length). How to model this system. If I model them between…

  • Modeler not showing fixity for gravity beam members

    Hi everyone, I have been using RAM Structural Systems for just a week now. After laying out my gravity steel beam members in RAM Modeler, I have an option for Assigning beam fixity, but when I click to select my beams for different fixity options, which…

  • Moment capacity of composite section in RAM Steel Beam

    Hi, The Design Summary report in RAM Steel Beam shows the moment capacity Mn of steel only even if the beam is designed as a composite section. Why is that? Ideally, phi*Mn of the composite section should be shown for a composite beam and phi*Mn of…

  • Tension Only member with initial axial capacity

    Hello to all, In reality horizontal braces (or vertical brace, beam, etc) that is design for tension only resist "some" axial compression capacity. Is there a way that this axial compression capacity can be input in STAAD? For example, a horizontal…
