Composite Joists in RSS
Is there any option for specifying composite joists in RSS? The FloorVibe module had the option to use the SJI Composite Joist designations (i.e. ddCJxxx/xxx where dd is depth and xxx are the applicable loads). But I don't see any implementation of that…
Entering Atypical composite decks
Hello, I am in the process of modeling a new building and given the long spans required, we are using an atypical composite deck catalog, using 6.125" of Lightweight 6" flutes. However i am at loss as how to enter these deck properties, since all the…
RE: RAM Steel Beam module not using studs
If the beam is acutely skewed to the deck you can have that problem. You'll find details here:
You can always use the Assign - Ignore Rib Spacing... command to circumvent that issue.
RE: RAM Structural System - Custom Beam Flags
Most of what you are looking for is available in one way or another.
Minimum flange width can be specified in Modeler - Layout - beams - Size restrictions. Keep in mind this is an precise limit, not a nominal limit.
There are also controls in the…
RE: RAM Elements/Structural System Composite Floor Design
1. Shear deformation is not in considered Ram Steel for gravity beams. Shear deformation through finite element analysis is limited to the results from Ram Frame or Ram Concrete. See our analysis types wiki for details.
2. The shear factor for Gen sections…
RAMSS Composite beams being designed as non-composite members
This problem is occurring on RAM Structural System v8 i 14.05.03.00
My problem is pretty straightforward. I have a model that was designing composite beams correctly. However, when I added a couple of cantilever beams and changed the deck/slab area…
RAM composite - 1 stud per foot
Is it possible to set RAM Structural System to only use 1 stud per foot? I know you can set the maximum spacing (and I have set it to 12") but is there a way to set the minimum spacing? My company has an internal policy to only use 1 stud per foot for…
