Hi, I am trying to export a csv or excel file where I can see the maximum Dead and Live/Roof live load moments in each beam. I need to obtain them unfactored to post-process them in excel. The table would simply have the beam label, Md and ML. I've been…

Hi, I am modelling a beam with a change of deck along the length of the beam (half of the beam has a W2+3.5" verco deck, and the other half has a W2+2" deck). I read this response: Effects of Changing Deck Type - RAM | STAAD | ADINA Wiki - RAM | STAAD…

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?

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…

Hello Everyone How can I reduce the development length bars in the beam (Figure 1-1), I'm running to get a result like this beam (figure 2-1) Figure 1-1 Figure 2-1

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…

Dear bentley & friends, I had modeled the floor beams as composite and gave design parameter for Eurocode but design not performed and I had changed the code to BS and AISC, in this two codes composite design is done but not in eurocode. Why? How…

I was wondering if there was a way to design girders with a different minimum composite action than my joists. Currently I have the minimum set at 25% for all beams but I want the girders to be designed for a minimum of 50%. Is there a way in RAM to set…
