Hi, Based on NBCC 2015 4.1.8.11 4) single storey buildings with steel or wood deck as diaphragms can have a higher fundamental period compared to 4.1.8.11 3) as seen in the snap below. However, in the current RAM frame the Ta is only based on clause…

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?

warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys

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?

Actually i need all members UC Ratio values. How to get all values???? Please guys guide me New folder (2).rar

Hola; Necesito saber si es posible generar barras según las define el reglamento CIRSOC 301, como Itipo Grupo IV y Grupo V en RAM, como se ven en la imagen del link. https://www.google.com.ar/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjp8…

I was wondering if there was a way to get the maximum allowable load reaction to a column? I.e. an envelope for a certain set of load combos (allowable), not all the ones inputted? The only enveloping feature I have found is in the "Generate Report…

Hi there. I have only just started to use RAM structural system. I have built a model in RAM Modeler. When running the data check I get a number of warnings and errors. Some appear to be able to be resolved simply, while others I am not sure how to go…

Join us for the first-ever Interactive LEARN Session with Bentley’s Allen Adams , Chief Structural Engineer for the RAM group, and Product Manager for the RAM Structural System! Topic: Analysis Requirements for Buildings in IBC 2012 and ASCE 7-10 When…

Is it possible to turn of a label for a specific structural member? I know I can move the label around, rotate it, etc. Also is it possible to turn off a specific structural member? These are all being imported from RAM. Is deleting the element in Structural…

Is it possible to design a waffle slab with RAM Concept? If so, can it be modeled in Modeler, then exported to Concept? If I have a 4" topping slab on 12" deep ribs, I imagine that I would input 12" deep concrete beams at 2'-0" o.c. in one direction and…

I have set up a model in RAM. It is A steel frame sat on an RC base. I have run the data check and there are no errors or warnings. I have run the steel beam design and it has given me section sizes. However, every time I try to run the steel…

I am using RAM Structural for a building that has dozens of different Surface loads, Line loads, and Point Loads. I have all of the various loadings tabulated in an Exel file. It is my understanding that with Data Access, there should be a way for me…

AISC has recently come out in support of IFC as the preferred method for model data exchange (Reference "The New AISC Interoperability Strategy"; Modern Steel Construction, November 2011). Will IFC be interoperable with ISM? How does Bentley plan to…

I was wondering if there is any literature on the best way to approach the design of a simple four sided moment frame building using RAM Structural System? Thanks, Scott
