Develop a procedure for linking RAM SS & RAM Concept models when both steel framing and two-way slabs are on the same level

There is a pretty nice procedure for importing geometry from RAM SS to RAM Concept for two-way slab design and vise versa to capture the two-way slab properties in RAM SS. But this is really only idealized for when there is only a two-way podium a...

Live Load Reduction Factor added to Design Parameters

Create a live load reduction factor in the design parameters for each material type. This way the live load is captured in the analysis and reduced accordingly in the design. This might cause an issue with 2nd order analysis if you don't want all ...

Include equations and references for demands/capacities for things like sliding resistance, etc, in Ram Elements footing module, similar to Ram Connection.

It would be very appropriate to include equations for demand/capacities in the report for things like sliding resistance, moment, shear, etc. For example, for sliding resistance, the passive equation, the cohesion equation, and the coefficient of ...
