  • RAM Concept Conflicting Audit Strip Results

    I have modeled a 1-way PT slab and beam system starting with RSS and importing into Concept. At the lowest level I have several columns that need to jog. The audits on the strips at those locations produce a couple sections with errors that suggest removing…
  • RAM Concept Load Run Down

    Hi, I'm using RAM Concept to do a load run down. I'm trying to use a live load reduction factor in my calculation. This is what I've done below accordance to FAQ but the results reaction still doesn't provide any live load reduction to me. I've…
  • adjust concept geometry linked to structural system

    I am designing a PT parking garage that starts in structural system and uses concept to design the floor plates. I have ramps created as intermediate levels that make the column lengths in concept too short which affects the stiffness and hyperstatic…

    I am analyzing a floor using RAM Concept and I tried adding point spring supports under beams... However, when I try to run the vibration analysis, I get an error saying "An error has occurred while solving the Eigenvalue problem"
  • RAM Concept Strip Moment Discrepancies

    I have a flat plate, PT building that we have designed using concept and has already been constructed. Now the owner wants to change the residential penthouse to a nightclub which of course the floor is not designed for. I need to pull out design values…
  • Dowels

    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
  • RAM Concept, RAM SS, and RAM Elements - ACI 318-19

    Are there plans to include ACI 318-19 provisions in any upcoming releases for the RAM programs? If so, is there an ETA on this? Our AHJ will be adopting IBC 2021 in a few months, but we need to have the ability to start designing concrete structures in…
  • RAM Concept - Add "Help" button to dialog boxes similar to RAM SS

    As the title implies, it would be helpful if dialog boxes within RAM Concept had a "Help" button that takes you to the section of the help file describing the various settings in the dialog box. This feature is already present in RAM SS, and it would…
  • Design of Solid slab (Conventional slabs)

    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…
