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…

So I saw a previous post about how an older version of RAM had this same issue, where the concrete column module would only run the first time the analysis was done and then after that it would crash unless you installed some sort of patch or used a stand…

I have a shear wall that has section cuts failing right at the corners. When I look at the forces in the failing section the shear is 760 kips and then right next to it is a passing section cut with a shear force of 240 kips. This is a very large force…

I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?

Which modules within RAM Structural System use reduced live loads (if reducible live loads are applied)? Is live load reduction performed for the Post-Processing -> Foundation Loads -> Gravity from RAM Steel Reports? Is live load reduction performed…

I have an issue where I have a concrete column that is shown as failing due to kl/r>100. The code reference for this error is given as 10.13.5. The problem with this is that I'm using ACI318-11, and that is an invalid code reference. In 318-11, 10.13…

I'm modeling with RAM Structural System v14.06. I know that it is possible to have a column supported by a diaphragm. Is it possible to have a wall supported by a diaphragm and transferred through the (thick) slab to an offset wall below?

Where and how can i take in count the Friction losses of horizontal curves ? I have to calculate manually and includ in long term losses?..

I am just trying to get some opinions on what is done with RAM Structural System and RAM Concrete Column Design. Currently in ACI 318-08 there are three methods for column design. sections 10.10.3, 10.10.4 and 10.10.5, Nonlinear second-order analysis…

Hi, I am modelling a reinforced concrete floor slab on columns and am getting the following message on running the Load History Deflections: "An error occurred while trying to calculate load history deflections. Pardiso internal - unstable structure…
