• Input & Reported Column Eccentricity

    How can I confirm column eccentricity in RAM SS? Within the Data Echo report it notes in the column table that "values with a + indicate eccentricity plus 1/2 column dimension", then in the table is notes "+100" however these notes in the report do not…
  • Concrete Column Minimum Eccentric Moment

    Product(s): RAM Structural System; Concrete Column Version(s): Any Area: Design Why is the reported moment larger than the reported member forces? The concrete column design report indicates the ultimate factored…
  • 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…
