Single layer of reinforcement in RAM Concept
I am designing a mat slab that will have a single layer of reinforcing. I have followed the advice on the FAQ page, but am getting an error with my design strips that the reinforcement has too much cover. I am trying to center the reinforcement in the…

RAM Concept - Strength Design Reinforcement showing all 0's
After revising a previously working model to add point loads, RAM Concept no longer shows required reinforcing anywhere in the slab. While troubleshooting, I compared design strip moment/shear demands to the original model and found them to be similar…
Schedule generator
Hi! ProConcrete 7.1
When I try to create rebar schedules, I only have that error:
Below I have copied everything from this window:

Discrepancy between Bottom Reinforcement provided by Reinforcement layer and Design Strip Layer
I am designing a basement mat foundation and found a discrepancy between the bottom reinforcement that RAM recommends. There are significantly more bottom bars provided by the reinforcement layer (figure 1) than the design status layer (figure 2). However…
Activate ProStructures
In the latest release OpenBridge , ProStructures is included in the installation, not only ProConcrete . However, users will use a ProStructures license to activate all the tools fully. As for enabling ProStructure s in OpenBridge Modeler or OpenBridge…
Side plate used as beam reinforcement
Hello,
Please advise if this type of beam reinforcement can be done in STAAD.
Thank you,
Embankment reinforced with car tyre
Hello
How do I create a normal soil embankment that is reinforced with car tires?
I'm a beginner in plaxis modeling, kindly help me out.

Reinforcement Type and Area
Depending on the Reinforcement Type , the reinforcement area input and results are slightly different, as listed below:
Bending : one value for the total reinforcement area;
Longitudinal : one value for the total reinforcement area;
Shear long…

RAM Concept - Modelling Reinforcement within Core Base Foundation
I've imported the core base mat foundation in to RAM concept and modelled the supporting Piles as Point spring supports. When inputting the bottom reinforcement (H25@150 c/c in both directions) I am getting the need for additional bars within the foundation…
“UltSup” Reinforcement Design
In schedule action “UltSup” with Reinforcement design selected, program calculates the necessary reinforcement area amount, required for the ultimate check capacity of the cross-section.

“UltSup Schedule Action
In RM Bridge Enterprise, User can perform the ultimate limit check for a specified envelope based on the stress-strain diagrams of materials and calculates, if requested, the required reinforcement amount ( ULS reinforcement design ).

Performance - RAM Concept bar Warning
Concept is providing a "Performance" warning upon running analysis, stating that there are "Too many user bars to detail". The strips are 320' long and are supposed to have #5@14" perpendicular to the 320' length (about 275 bars). Does this warning just…
Unexpected Single Rebar Distribution
Hi everyone!
I'm trying to reinforce a concrete wall with single Rebar Distribution tool, but i'm getting a unwanted result.
I'll appreciate any idea of how to handle this..
New Plot Action (PIEIUlt) for plotting ultimate bending capacity in the cross-sections for load cases and envelopes
New schedule action for plotting ultimate bending capacity in the cross-section for load cases and envelopes is now available. Users can now plot the list files results (.lst) and will be able to quickly check if the ultimate capacity is achieved in the…
adding a new bar shape
hi all.
i am trying to add a 'u' shape bar to the rsf file. the program defaults it to a 'L' shape and wont allow me to change it.
we have found a work around by creating a small straight section between 2 bends and then the program defaults it to…

Can't detail steel reinforcement in custom parametric pier - "element not valid for tool"
I've added a custom, parametric pier to an OBM model of a bridge I'm working on, and I'm now trying to add reinforcing steel to it; however, when I boot up the ProConcrete workflow and try to add reinforcing steel to any of the columns/caps/drilled shafts…
RAM Beam Shear Reinforcement Output in Slab Span Direction
Hi,
I've come across this particular issue a number of times but have never had RAM specify this much shear reinforcement before - see snapshots below. This is a one-way slab and band beam system so wouldn't be expecting shear ties in the beam like…
