  • How does RAM compute the transformed MOI for AISC's effective MOI?

    Hello, I am wondering how RAM Steel computes the I_{tr} for composite beams. For example, I have a composite beam with the following properties as computed by RAM: But by hand, I am computing I_{tr} = 941.86, slightly less than RAM. I am guessing…
  • SPAN & Physical Member commands in SACS

    Hello all, There are some ambiguities for me about the use of SPAN and PHYSICAL MEMBER commands in SACS. Consider the following simple senario: Imagine we have a main deck beam (say HEB600), on top of which stringer beams( say IPE200) are running…
