RE: Ram Steel Column Optimization

Seth Guthrie

I see. The way trial groups work is that the program sticks to one trial group (one nominal depth) for the whole height. It selects the lightest total column from up to 3 trial groups, so long as the design passes the code check at all stories. That's…

RE: Does RAM Concrete check for ACI 21.13: Members not designated as part of the SFR system

Karl G

See Section 4.8.4 in the RAM Concrete Column Manual for the sections of 21.13 that are implemented in the program. Induced moments and shears are not calculated by the program, so the program follows ACI 318-11 21.13.4 and not 21.13.2 or 21.13.3 when…
