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…
RAM SS What Beams and Joists Frame Into
I am trying to use RAM Structural System to design an apartment building out of Steel and Wood. The wood beams are modeled as steel joists (I have custom joist tables set up for the wood beam members). The steel beams are modeled as steel beams. Both…
RE: Adding TJI Joist Table to Ram SS
In our joist tables we expect the user to define a table of allowable live loads per joist length. The intent is that the allowable live load LLi in our nomenclature is the live load that produce deflection = Length/360.
For each joist a section is…

I am a new RAM Structural user, but was a joist engineer for over 10 years, and I am trying to figure out the nonuniform load calculation method for joists in Ram Structural. I have a case of dead+base snow+snow drift that I am checking, and the joist…
