  • 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…

  • Dummy beam

    Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?

  • How does STAAD determine beam deflections?

    Hello, I am modeling a floor slab (1 ft thick) with concrete beams (all 24" wide x 36" deep). These beams will be cast monolithically with the floor slab, therefore the beams are modeled as 24" deep. My question is how does STAAD determine the following…

  • 2Ws Steel Section

    Is there a way to make a user defined double steel section? Basically two W-shaped steel section side by side welded together? In RAM elements there is an available section type for such a section called 2Ws but I am not sure if RAM SS has the same. I…

  • Beams in One way Slab - Column Design Strip width smaller than beam width

    When running my model, I noticed I was getting column design strips widths smaller than the width of my beam. I changed my settings in the strip generation tab to column strip width calc for "Code T-beam" and checked the box "design column strip for column…

  • Yield Strength Rounds Down

    Why does RAM Structural System round down the Yield Strength fy value? I am located in Canada so if I use american steel then I convert the fy=50 000psi to MPa which is approximately 345MPa. So in the Modeler when laying out the beams I type in 345MPa…
