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…
Patterning (skip loading) of Live Loads in RAM
I have been doing some extensive reading on these forums and in the help but still don't have clarity, so please help me with a few questions:
I am modeling a 4 story reinforced concrete moment frame in RAM and then will export the model to RCDC (Advanced…
RE: Multiple Live Loads
In Ram Modeler the live loads are either part of the main live load case (reducible, unreducible and storage type loads) or part of the roof live case (roof or snow) only. You can't force the program into having more distinct live load cases.
Wind loads…
RAM Frame - Rigid Links at Coupling Beams between Concrete Shear Walls
Hello,
I am modeling a high-rise concrete structure with lateral force resisting systems consisting of concrete shear walls with coupling beams and slab-column moment frame interactive system (wind only, no seismic loads).
I am trying to understand…
