One of the first options is to have more connection options that reflect real-world cases of beams to tubular columns. Currently, there are very few options for these connections, and the existing ones are not very useful. It would be beneficial t...

It would be excellent if the RAM Connection program had the option to export to Excel the report of the input data and results of the connection design.

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 ...

Beginning in ASCE 7-22/IBC 2024, structural designs must consider tornado wind loads for essential facilities. The calculation of these loads and the associated load combinations should be added to RSS.

Referring to Fig. R17.7.2.1a & Fig. R17.11.3.1 from ACI318-19 (refer attached sketch), these are the two similar concrete breakout failures one in case of Anchor bolts (case 1) and other for shear lug (case 2). In both cases, concrete breakout...

Agregar la verificación de conectores de corte tipo Cruz, con perfiles tipo W HEA, HEB o perfiles Tubulares (circulares o cuadrados) dentro del la interfas de RAM que esta dentro del Staad Pro.

ASCE 7 (10, 16, and 22 versions) section 27.1.5 specifies a minimum wind load on the entire building projected area (see commentary). This should be applied as a separate load case. RAM Frame treats this as individual floors shall not receive less...

It looks like RAM concept design minimum beam reinforcements per 9.6.1.1 & 2., this section provides minimum reinforcement greater of 3Sqrt(fc)/fy*b*d and 200/fy*bd. However, per 9.6.1.3 If As provided at every section is at least one-third gr...
