Hi How de we identify and correlate axis as per below snapshots
For a Column/BP placed eccentric to the foundation, the direction of loading would govern the breakout area. How do we correlate axis 2 and 3 with red and blue axis. Is there any…
Hey everyone,
We are working on a P-T slab design in RAM concept and are encountering this situation where we have two models(Models 1 and 2 attached below) with exact same parameters (Loading, slab thickness, concrete str, Tendon layout etc.) but Model…
Easily produce high quality and economical designs for all your structural projects using various concrete, steel, and joist building materials. Design, analyze, and create documentation with ease for your building projects, saving time and money.
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…
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…
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"
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…
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
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…
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…
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…

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?
HI, Can anyone clear my following queries from RAM Concept
1) The Centroid stress plots under the Rule Set design reflects the Precompression forces in the slab ?
2) We have noticed that the precompression value reduces if we put an additional short…
Hi All,
I have a basement slab supported by pile caps of various shapes. The slab is 250mm thick, while the pile caps are 1200mm thk.
I would like to stop RAM from designing the reinforcement for bending and shear in the thicker areas (i.e. in…
