Uplift point loads in my model are not being considered by the ram beam design module
I have a building with screen wall loads on the roof. These loads act as a couple with the main post and the kicker having reactions in opposite directions. When I add these loads to the ram model, ram beam module is only considering the downward gravity…
RAM Frame - Moderately Ductile Beam Requirements
I am looking at the requirements of the beam at the second story of the chevron BRBF. Why is RAM Frame checking Beam ductility using the Diagonal Brace requirements of AISC 341-16? The output clearly says it does not check the axial demand in the beam…
How does RAM compute the transformed MOI for AISC's effective MOI?
Hello,
I am wondering how RAM Steel computes the I_{tr} for composite beams. For example, I have a composite beam with the following properties as computed by RAM:
But by hand, I am computing I_{tr} = 941.86, slightly less than RAM. I am guessing…
RE: Can "Design All" actually design "all"?
"Design All" normally does design composite action and set camber for members with user assigned sizes. That's why we allow the user to take two kinds of actions, assigning a size and freezing the design (which is the same as clicking Update Database…
