  • RAM concept warning

    Hello All, Did anyone ever get this warning in RAM Concept? This happens when I move design strips or modeled elements. See the snip for reference.
  • 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…

  • Joint Check - "No beams fixed to column flange"

    Hi, I am trying to model the frame from the RAM Structural System Tutorial. Inside the RAM Frame module, I performed the Joint Check which outputted all joints to be "OK" However, when I check the joints through "View/Update Joints" It shows a red signal…
  • layout of tendons and spans

    what is your opinion in layout of tendons for this post-tensioned slab???? notes : spacing = 1.5 m max span = 9 m , slab thickness= 250 mm each tendon contains 5 strands (12.7 mm) can you suggest span layout to design sections????
  • "ERROR NOT ENOUGH MEMORY FOR SPECTRUM FORCE-6" in STAAD.Pro V8i

    Hello, I´m trying to analyze a model in STAAD.Pro V8i, said model consists of a slab as foundation, a perimetral RC wall and pedestals and beams to support the upper structure. The model has about 22000 plate elements and about 40 beams. Now to the problem…
  • What is the best way to model a steel transition cap?

    I am new to STAAD pro connect. I need some help on how to model a steel transition cap shown in the attached photo. The cap consists of two top and bottom plates separated by cylindrical section. There are 24 gussets attached to the outer perimeter of…
  • What is the recommended approach of bi-directional integration between REVIT and STAAD?

    I would like to be able to do bi-directional transfer between Revit and Staad. Both follows a different coordinate system, i.e. varied origin. What is the best way to do bi-directional integration such that I may update the model of a particular structure…

    I am modeling a digester tank , there is a walk above the dome resting on rcc wall, to transfer the slab dead load and live load i have created dummy elements over the walls and applied the dead load and live load as floor loads by grouping the beams…
  • Why is the Plate and beam moment sign does not change with pressure load direction?

    Good Day, I am just new to Staad Pro so Kindly explain to me in very preliminary way, This is simple Slab of 350mm thickness Supported by beam of 350x350mm on four sides supported by pinned supports an uniform pressure load of 100kN/m2 is applied…
  • Difference between zero tension and linear analysis type in RAM Concept

    Hey I'm designing a mat foundation. I see two types of analyses zero-tension and linear. What is the basic difference between two? I read the manual but couldn't understand clearly. It would be great if anyone could explain it to me in layman language…
  • PT through Slab Step and Upturned Beam

    Ram Concept community, I have a question regarding the correct modeling practices for a PT two-way slab with a significant step. In my particular case, my slab step is occurring at mid-span perpendicular to my bundled tendons, and I have upturned…
