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
I tried it quite times looking at responses here still I could not resolved it can any one help me with ? and check in the file as I shared it here. 5807.TK_STR.STD
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…
Hello Everyone.
I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?
Hello Everyone
How can I reduce the development length bars in the beam (Figure 1-1), I'm running to get a result like this beam (figure 2-1)
Figure 1-1

We are increasingly being asked to assess options on the basis of carbon intensity. It would save many engineers lots of time if RAM concept had the capability of calculating embodied carbon. It is a very simple addition - it could be done in much the…

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?
My model consists of beams & columns which are concrete and take gravity loads only, the project is SDC D and the shear walls take all the lateral load. When I run the concrete column analysis I get the following warning: Column section dimensions are…
I am having trouble telling RAM where to put a secondary layer of longitudinal reinforcement. If I assign a different value to 2 Layers in the Beam Criteria it appears to assign my values under 2 Layers just to my top bars. I have attached a screen cap…
Hi,
I'm running a model of a concrete podium structure and seem to be running into a "node tolerance error". The exact text is: "Tolerance error at coordinates (x,y,z). Check if all members at this coordinate are aligned."
The given coordinates lie…
Hello,
I am trying to model a 3 story concrete structure. When I try to run the gravity analysis in RAM Concrete module, i get the following error: "Gravity load computation error on floor Podium and diaphragm 1. Please check gravity loads on slab decks…

I'm currently designing a multi-storey RC frame in RAM Concrete and I've noticed a puzzling aspect of how RAM spaces the shear links if using UK codes.
I have for aesthetic reasons rectangular columns with the width in the order of 250mm - 350mm with…

Overview
The purpose of this example is to verify the concrete column design in RAM Structural System for the Australian standard AS3600-09. This example is based on the simple column and beam frame shown in Figures 1 through 3. The column under consideration…
Hello,
Eurocode 2 requires the designer to consider the performance of the frame through the application of a notional inclination of the frame under gravity actions.
This is not dissimilar to the notional horizontal force principal in BS8110.
