My model consists of beams & columns which are concrete and take gravity loads only, the project is SDC D and the shear walls take all the lateral load. When I run the concrete column analysis I get the following warning: Column section dimensions are…

I'm trying to use RAM Elements to do a basic column design but keep getting a warning that the adopted stirrup spacing is less than the calculated spacing. I can't seem to replicate the value Elements is calculating as the required spacing. Can someone…

Hi, Is there a way for STAAD.pro to optimize concrete beam and column sizes based on the applied loads? I would like to create a model of a simple reinforced concrete frame with stick figures representing the centroids of the beam and columns. I would…

I have set up a model in RAM. It is A steel frame sat on an RC base. I have run the data check and there are no errors or warnings. I have run the steel beam design and it has given me section sizes. However, every time I try to run the steel…

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…

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…
