Knee brace gusset to beam/ column connection eccentricity due to workline not coinciding with weld centre
We have encountered a problem while performing checks in vertical brace knee brace. The software does not allow us to enter the values of Xleft and Xright, which represent the eccentricity from connection centre to workline. As a result, the calculation…
Not a valid "Column base (CB)" joint
I am attempting to assign and design gusset plate connections using Ram connection using data from a RSS model.
When trying to assign a connection detail to a joint the error The joint composed by node "171" and members "120, 886" is not valid "Column…
RAM Structural System - Load Distribution on Lateral Walls
In RAM SS, how does the program distributes the lateral load (seismic and wind) in a rigid and non-rigid diaphragm? What are the differences in outcome with the different diaphragm types specified?
My problem:
In the picture below, I am showing a…
Moment Not Transferred To Beam Ends Correctly
Hello,
The moment in my frame does not seem to be correctly transferring to the fixed ends of the steel beams. All of the moment connections are set to a fixity of "XXX" and are lateral members. The ends do have moment values but seem to be way smaller…
Wrong Loading Combination for Beam Optimization
I am working on a two story steel building and am experiencing issues with the beam optimization. RAM is currently using a loading combination for some beams, displayed below, that is not the maximum loading so the beams are designed too small. Instead…
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…
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?
Vibration Analysis in the RAM Structural System
Overview
With the increased use of lighter beam sizes and longer spans made possible by higher steel and material strengths and with larger, more open and more lightly load floor areas due to advances in office technology and utilization, the lighter…
