    RAM SBeam

    Overview

    RAM SBeam is a powerful and versatile program for the design of steel beams. Using one of several design codes, RAM SBeam can select the optimum beam size or check the adequacy of existing construction. The program provides rapid evaluation and comparison between various beams under various load conditions. RAM SBeam has a user interface unparalleled for simplicity and ease of use, while providing a very powerful design capability. This results in substantial time savings for the Engineer and a more economical design for the client

    Enhancements in RAM SBeam CONNECT Edition V7.0

    • AISC 360-16 ASD and LRFD
    • Canada CAN/CSA S16-14
    • India IS 800-07 WSD and LSD.
    • Enhanced Stud Criteria. Several options have been added to further refine the selection of studs, including setting the maximum stud spacing to be equal to the rib spacing, and enforcement of the stud ductility rules.

    The Release Notes can be found here.

    Enhancements in RAM SBeam CONNECT Edition V6.0

    • AISC 360-10 ASD and LRFD
    • CAN/CSA S16-09
    • Eurocode EN 1994-1-1:2004 Transverse Reinforcement requirements have been implemented.
    • Options for determination of design fy per the Eurocode or UK National Annex have been added.
    • Load definitions now include Partition Loads, that are treated as unreducible Live Loads.
    • Several refinements have been made in the selection of studs in the composite beam design, including better consideration of the deck orientation (when at some skewed angle) and the number of ribs that then cross the beam.
    • Cellular and Castellated beams are now referred to as C-Beams, produced by SteelFab.

    RAM SBeam is now part of the Optioneering Visa.

    Enhancements in RAM SBeam V5.0

    • Cellular and Castellated Smartbeams, produced by CMC Steel Products, can now be designed and analyzed.
    • The Eurocode has been updated to EN 1993-1-1:2005 (Eurocode 3 – Design of Steel Structures) and EN 1994-1-1:2004 (Eurocode 4 – Design of Composite Steel and Concrete Structures).
    • For the AISC ASD and LRFD specifications there is now an option to reduce the composite Ieff by multiplying by 0.75, as recommended in the AISC 360 Commentary
    • The ability to launch RAM SBeam from the RAM Structural System has been enhanced to include the ability to launch RAM SBeam with CMC Smartbeam data. The link has also been enhance to include a more complete set of design and criteria information.

    Features of RAM SBeam include:

    • Composite Beam Design and Investigation
    • Non-composite Beam Design and Investigation
    • Cantilevers
    • Braced or Unbraced Compression Flange
    • ASD, LRFD, Canadian, British or Eurocode design
    • English, SI, and Metric Units
    • Rolled and Built-up Shapes
    • Foreign and Domestic Steel Tables
    • Web Opening Design 
     
    • Beam Self-weight Automatically Included
    • Load Diagrams
    • Shear, Moment, and Deflection Diagrams
    • User Control of Design Criteria and Parameters
    • Can be run as a stand-alone program, or it can be launched from the RAM Structural System or from RAM Elements

    RAM SBeam and the RAM Structural System

    RAM SBeam was extracted from and contains a subset of the design capabilities of the RAM Steel Beam design module of the RAM Structural System.
     
    The RAM Structural System provides tremendous value to the engineer in increased productivity, automating and integrating many tasks that must otherwise be performed manually by the engineer when using stand-alone programs such as RAM SBeam.
     
    The RAM Structural System contains a model of the entire structure, not just individual beams. It automatically computes tributary loads to all members (beams, columns, walls, etc.); reduces the Live Load in accordance with applicable building codes; designs all beams, columns, baseplates and footings from the roof to the base; and performs wind and seismic analysis. Comprehensive calculations, CAD drawings and material take-off quantities can be obtained from the design of the entire structure. The entire structural database is managed by the RAM Structural System. For more information on the RAM Structural System, see the RAM Structural System website or contact Bentley Systems, Inc.
