  • How does RAM calculate the Moment of Inertia of a composite section (AISC)

    Looking at the reports for a typical composite beam in RAM Structural System, I am seeing that RAM outputs I-effective (Ieff) and I-transformed (Itr) that are different from those listed in AISC Table 3-20 (Lower Bound Elastic Moment of Inertia for Plastic…

  • Gravity Steel Members Force per Load Case

    Hello , I know there is a way to get the results for frame members from post-processing for each load cases which also includes D and L. Similarly is there a way to get the results for the gravity steel members?

  • Columns outside Slab Edge

  • A better way to make repetitive changes in RAM Modeler

    I have a model with 20 stories and most have a unique layout type. However, most of them share a common core of slap openings for elevators, stairs, etc. If I have to make a change on a number of these, I have to manually go and make that same change…

  • RAM SS Beam Deflection Error

    I just go a more recent version of RAM SS and when I run the beam module there are certain beam that now show that they fail in deflection. But when I look at the report the beam does not fail in deflection. I have tried deleting the beam and putting…

  • RAM Structural System V17.0 License Consolidation

    Note: These changes are now in effect; they became effective at the same time that RAM Structural System v17.00 was released. License Changes: Significant changes have been made to the way the RAM Structural System is licensed. Now there is only…

  • Point loads acting on incorrect beam/Modeler not matching beam/joist module

    This is the first time this has happened to me, but point loads that I placed on a beam in the RAM modeler are not acting on that beam when checked in the beam/joist module. However, they are acting on a different beam along the same construction grid…

  • how to get the loadings details in report????

    I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?

    No, camber is always selected by the program based on the deflections and camber criteria. RAM SS - Steel Beam Deflection and Camber

  • RE: Loads

    Check this issue first: Missing or incorrect loads on perimeter beams Happens to members in the outer bay when the slab edge slightly diverges from the perimeter framing.

  • RE: Difference between RAM Elements and Ram Structural System

    Ram Elements is more like STAAD, a general purpose Finite element analysis (and design) tool. It’s different from RAM Structural System mostly in how things are modeled by placing nodes in 3 dimensional space and connecting them with lines or plates.…
