I have firstly used Stadd pro v8i SS5 software all columns getting passed using IS 13920 1993 code but when same model was analyze in STADD.Pro connect edition using IS 13920 2016 code column getting failed due to unadequae section and unable to accomodate…

In my project I have a row of columns that lands close to a one story basement wall (about 2' away). I placed a point load directly on top of the columns. However the load is being distributed away from the columns. The load should transfer directly from…

Can I model sloped columns in RAM Structural Systems?

Hello, This is my first stab at using RAM so please forgive any necessary hand holding while attempting to help me. I hear that RAM is able to share the results of its module design with other modules in RAM. How can I redesign the beams and columns…

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…

Just been interrogating the RC column design on my model and was confused to see that on some levels that a column has been classified as a "HANGER" rather than "SHORT" or "SLENDER" . I've checked my model and I have not modelled them as hanging columns…

I've got a model with all elements modelled as lateral members so I can get the forces in elements easily, but the results for member forces in columns transferred by a beam at one of the lower level are not correct as on picture below. It seems that…

I'm trying to use RAM Elements to do a basic column design but keep getting a warning that the adopted stirrup spacing is less than the calculated spacing. I can't seem to replicate the value Elements is calculating as the required spacing. Can someone…

Dear RAM Team. I am modelling a single storey of a building but I want to have the effect of the columns above and below my slab. Is there a way to define columns going through? The only way I managed to model them is creating two columns in the same…

I am a relatively new user to RAM SS concrete. I am trying to add a column which sits on a cantilever. RAM SS will not let me do this. There must be some way, any suggestions are appreciated.

Could someone explain a little how the Column Cap plate connection in RC standalone works? The user manual doesn't tell anything about it, and I haven't found anything on this site about it. It always shows very typical cap plate connections failing by…

Can anyone review my input file and let me what might be the problem. When I do a reinforced concrete column design I get the message " ** SECTION IS NOT ADEQUATE, No bar is available for confining reinforcement" but when I increase the section to 700mm…

Hi, Is there a way for STAAD.pro to optimize concrete beam and column sizes based on the applied loads? I would like to create a model of a simple reinforced concrete frame with stick figures representing the centroids of the beam and columns. I would…

Panel Zone shear Vpz is determined. It is reduced by "Vc". I can find no discussion of this variable in any manual or in any post on this site. I have made a few attempts to recreate this assuming that it is shear in the column, but have had little luck…

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…

Does anyone know if/how you can model bundles of rebar in RAM Structural System? Currently I'm only seeing the equal spacing method for placing rebar within the concrete columns, but this is overly conservative when considering the bending stress in the…

Hi, I'm modeling a structure that consists of a series of concrete columns spreaded on the perimeter of a rectangular shape building, and attached to a channel concrete caps that running on top of perimeter columns, then the channel beam is connected…

I am just trying to get some opinions on what is done with RAM Structural System and RAM Concrete Column Design. Currently in ACI 318-08 there are three methods for column design. sections 10.10.3, 10.10.4 and 10.10.5, Nonlinear second-order analysis…

Hi everyone, I have been using RAM Steel Column in the CSA S16 for the design of some WWF sections (required due to limits on column dimensions and our high loading) and are finding the Cr values (Compressive Resistance) calculated using RAM Steel…
