• Trimming Design Strips: Ram Concept 2-Way PT Slab

    Given the layout of strips, in odd configurations due to irregular structural geometries, is it in y'all's opinion reasonable to review the original strips for any code-related failures (i.e. shear or tension) and make the proper adjustments to the PT…
  • Design of Solid slab (Conventional slabs)

    Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…
  • RAM Concept - Torsion in Beam Members

    Hello. I have a 2-way flat slab with a banded/uniform PT layout. Around my elevator and stair openings, we have beams framing the openings. My question is in regards to failures resulting from higher than expected values of torsion in these beams …
