    Currently working on a project where I have an asymmetrical open structure, The structure is a complex shape canopy that has a oval shape and follows the path of three radii. The canopy has Rectangular HSS sections as columns which rotate their axis directions…
  • RAM Concrete two-way slab to wall fixity

    What is the out of plane bending fixity between a 2-way concrete slab and a concrete wall in RAM Concrete. Likewise, what is the fixity in RAM Frame? Does it change if the wall is gravity member vs lateral member. Is there somewhere in the manual that…
  • Fixed Beam Diagram Shows it as Pinned
