• RAM Concrete column transfer condition

    I have a transfer condition where I have a cantilever beam with a back span to another column. When I look at the shear in the column from dead load only in Concrete Analysis, it gives me 410k but when I look at the Concrete Column design module it says…
  • Steel Beams to Lateral Concrete Columns

    As shown in the image above, a project we have has steel beams connected to concrete columns. Based on geometry alone there should be a moment applied to the column during design in the Concrete module. Added to this, the red beam on the left has a gravity…
  • RAM Concrete SMF Column Shear Design Forces Issue

    Hi, In the RAM Concrete column design module, there is an issue with the shear force calculation for a SMF column. When the initial design is run by selecting a column with the "view/update" command, a design shear force is calculated. Then if the column…
  • Customizing Reinforcing Bar Tables - How and Why

    Reinforcing bar standards can be customized in RAM Structural System, with the design in RAM Concrete reflecting the bar labels and sizes specified by the user. Of course, RAM comes out of the box with the reinforcing standards for each national standard…
