Hi Team, In RAM while design footing for gravity Columns without any moments, when we design using RAM Foundation>Criteria>Design>Design footing Based on soil Capacity, How it will consider the effect of fully stress condition? If design considering…

Hi Team, I am analyzing a G+4 Story steel Building using ASCE 7-16 and AISC 360-16, At Level 1, Level2, and Level 3 there is Concrete Filled Metal Deck which i considered as Rigid for analysis. At Roof Level there is Bare Metal Deck Which i considered…

Hi, I am working on a SCCS bridge structure and trying to size columns but for some reason at a few columns results show NG even after filing the criteria. what can be the reason behind it?

Hi all, I am working with an industrial structure with Pseudo flexible diaphragm. I observed an unusual displacement at couple of places in the diaphragm due to nodal loads (RAM generated nodal loads). I tried disconnecting that node from diaphragm…

Hi Seth, " Beams in RAM Structural System can only be modeled as I-shapes, HSS (tubes), or channels. It is not possible to model the top chords with any other section, including WT or double angle sections." Is this still the case?. Any work arounds…

Hi Team, I have a steel structure having the LFRS as steel moment frames. Now I have started modelling the grade beams as per the RAM SS guidelines, but I have the following queries : It says that the supporting short column should be pinned at…

Hi Team, I have a steel structure consisting of steel moment frames in both direction. There is no torsion in the building. Now I need to perform redundancy checks for this as per cl 12.3.4.2 (ASCE 7-16). I want to know how I can do it as per…

Can we check the composite design using the IS 800:2007 in RAM SS? Is there any alternative or interpolation of design which can be done to this exercise ?

Hi Seth, now in my model there is one section cut which is not being analyzed when I am assigning it as the hinge. It is not showing any error message but It not showing results for that only. Can you help me in that?

Hello All, I am currently looking into designing a foundation of the shear wall which is at the basement level and at the end of the wall there are two gravity columns. My intention at the end is to pick those gravity columns in the foundation of…
