  • Wind Uplift Loading

    Hey all, Just wondering as to how people have been approaching inputting wind uplift loading into the RAM SS loadings/load combinations. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also I am wondering from the Bentley Tech's who are on this forum, will…
  • Lambda Critical and Amplified Sway Method to BS 5950-1

    All, I am looking for some guidance, when determining the lambda critical value for a structure within RAM Frame, does the programme do anything with this? In particular, if the lambda critical value is less than 10, but greater than 4, does the…
  • RAM Frame Brace Connections

    I was wondering if it is possible to change braces in RAM SS so that they do not take any vertical loading. Currently when we are looking at the forces in the braces in RAM Frame, the controlling load combination is a vertical load combination not the…
  • RAM SS/RAM Frame Visibility

    Is is possible to save visibility settings for RAM Frame? Every time I go into ram frame the visibility of slabs, gravity members, and footings is enabled. While I enjoy having the enhanced graphics in this module now, it would be nice if the program…
  • RAM Foundation

    When modeling shear walls in RAM SS, do I need to sub-divide them in RAM Modeler so that the forces that are delivered to the continuous footings in RAM Foundation more realistic?
