I have a slab connected by dowels. What properties in the dowel mimicking slab element do i need to reduce to 0.001 to mimic DSDQ dowels please. I have modelled 50mm x 50mm x 50mm dowels in concrete and need to change kFs/kFr/kMrs etc

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…

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?

I'm modeling a concrete two-way slab structure including multiple permanent "movement joints" with Ram SS. In my model, movement joints are mostly located at the middle of spans and if I develop completely separated edges at each side of the joint,…

warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys

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?

Hi -- I have a C++ program which attempts to build and save a model via the RAM Data Access COM library. I have been able to successfully add CompDeckProp objects and slab edges to my model, but have found that after trying to assign decks (via IFloorType…

In RAM Structural System v14.06, is it possible to copy a grid system to a new grid system so that the new grid system can be modified and still keep the old grid system? This would be helpful for projects that go through many revisions where you don…
