• RAM SS Frame - Net Deflection on Cantilever

    RAM is returning the wrong net deflection value for cantilevered members in Frame. See images below: <<< net deflection incorrect <<< gross deflection correct Also the graphical output is not very good since the numbers are often right on top of…

  • RAM structural system - slab cantilevers

    I have a project with large slab cantilevers (3ft). Does RAM take into account the extra moment associated with the loads on these slab cantilevers? See image. For example for the facade line load, does it take into account that the reaction force…

  • Design of a Freestanding Wall in RAM Elements

    Hello, I am currently using RAM Elements to model a freestanding, CMU wall (i.e. acts as a cantilever). I have modeled the wall as a shell with a continuous fixed support at the bottom. However, when I send the wall to the Masonry Module it shows that…

  • Design Strips around shear core.

    Hello. I am having trouble modeling design strips on a slab at a shear wall area, which cantilevers out at two sides around the shear core. I am using PT to attempt to limit deflection but I am having problem with top stress failure. I know I may have…

  • RAM Frame and large cantilevers

    I have a stadium project that I'm designing that has a cantilevered roof of approximately 23'. Gravity loading is easily accounted for, but my concern - especially with the large cantilever - is what wind loading is RAM Frame applying. I believe that…

  • RE: How to model a cantilever beam?

    Is there something undesirable about the "pure cantilever" treatment of the gravity stub cantilever beam? Surely that is what most users would want out of gravity-only beam analysis in RAM Steel. When you make the beam (and the supporting column) lateral…

  • LTB check EN 1993-1 on cantivered section

    Hi, I'm carrying out an LTB check to a 5 metre long cantilevered column as per EN 1993-1. I found a way to carry out the check by setting the CMM parameter to 7 (or to 8) and then manually specifying C1, C2, C3 and ZG as per NCCI SN003b (or similar…

  • Modelling eccentricity of columns with cantilever beams in RAM SS

    We have a situation where an existing building utilizes platform-framed construction and several columns have beams with 10'-0" cantilevers which run over top of them. We do not feel it's conservative to assume a perfect fulcrum (i.e. zero eccentricity…

  • RE: Cantilever beam below a story level?

    I should probably mention I'm using Ram Structural Systems (Ram Steel and Ram Frame), v 14.06.01

  • RE: RAM-SS Cantilevers

    For those of you who don't have the ASCE 7-05 handy, this special seismic provision basically says that cantilever beams should be designed for a minimum net upward force of 0.2 times the dead load. We don't automate this in RAM SS right now. We do…

  • Re: Beam Splice in RAM Structural System

    Model the beam as an extended cantilever. After modeling the beam between columns, go to RAM Modeler - Layout - Beams - Assign Cantilevers, choose the Extension Type cantilever, define the cantilever length, and click Add to assign the cantilever. Then…
