I am just trying to get some opinions on what is done with RAM Structural System and RAM Concrete Column Design. Currently in ACI 318-08 there are three methods for column design. sections 10.10.3, 10.10.4 and 10.10.5, Nonlinear second-order analysis…

Panel Zone shear Vpz is determined. It is reduced by "Vc". I can find no discussion of this variable in any manual or in any post on this site. I have made a few attempts to recreate this assuming that it is shear in the column, but have had little luck…

Hi everyone, I have been using RAM Steel Column in the CSA S16 for the design of some WWF sections (required due to limits on column dimensions and our high loading) and are finding the Cr values (Compressive Resistance) calculated using RAM Steel…
