Design of Solid slab (Conventional slabs)
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…
Concrete Wall Module - Vertical Loads are not being applied
I'm working in the RAM Elements Concrete Wall Module, and have applied a variety of loads (vertical DL & LL, in-plane W, out-of-plane W). However, once analysis is run, the axial diagrams and report shows axial load = 0. It does account for the applied…
how to get the loadings details in report????
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?
RE: RAM Elements Concrete Wall Design Module - ACI 318 update
Regretfully no change I'm afraid. We still need to release an update to the program with newer codes and it's still months away.

RE: RAM Elements: Concrete (Mechanical) Cover
In the section properties definition, the cover 's' is to the center of the tension reinforcement. Keep in mind this really only relates to the preliminary concrete design data you can get from the main module - Output - Design - Reinforced Concrete.…
RAM Elements: Concrete Column Stirrup Spacing
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…
RAM Elements - Reinforcing Design for Shell Elements
I am looking for an explanation for the As/ft design output for shell elements. It looks like the design is giving areas of steel that are off the charts. For example, every area of the concrete panel I am analyzing is giving areas on the order of 1.0E300…
Re: RAM Elements - Modifying Section Properties
In the main program, there is an Ig factor that can be used to adjust the moment of inertia. Look in the Members tab -Sections worksheet - Ig factor.
In the continuous beam module, the Ig factor is only available for concrete members.
I recommend…
RAM Structural Systems - Bundled Rebar in Concrete Columns
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…
Re: Tank Foundation - Modeling Choices
You can access Ram Elements manual from the help ? or from the Windows Start menu - All Programs - Bentley Engineering - Ram Elements - Manuals. It's not exactly like the Concept manual, however.
In Elements a member can have line loads on it that…
RAM Elements Load Combo Generator
When I am trying to send a concrete beam to the concrete beam it says that no concrete load combinations have been generated, however I do not see any ACI (besides masonry) load combinations in the load combination generator. Is there something that I…
Concrete Design Optimization
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…
