Shear reinforcement check for concrete breakout in shear lug case
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...
It will be nice to have aluminium materials in the design options; this will help those of us who frequently check aluminium member capacity; STAAD may have this; but we need this in Elements. These will make Elements complete program.
We need a way to access and edit nodal loads through data access. It is painful having to manually define and assign all the point loads through the modeler elevation view. Could we at least assign them in frame? Instead of assigning point loads t...
It's now 2024, many if not all of the requests in this forum have been open requests for YEARS and in some cases over a DECADE. Why is this program not being updated other than for new code requirements? Wind uplift still has not been implemented ...
RAM SS- Axial Design Check for Braced Frame/Collector Beams
Adding an axial design check for beams or collectors to a braced frame lateral frame system. In particularly for rigid diaphragms these forces are not applied to horizontal members and require separate hand checks or analysis in another program. T...
RAM Multiple Load Cases/Combinations in Gravity Beams/Columns Module
There should be options for checking gravity beams/columns for multiple load combinations. Having to select whether snow or live loads are to be used is a bit 1980's era softwaresk.
Additionally, it would be beneficial to be allowed to apply wind ...
Sería ideal que en futuras versiones de RAM Connection se incorpore la funcionalidad de imprimir los reportes de las juntas de forma simultánea. Esto evitaría la necesidad de imprimirlos uno por uno, lo cual puede resultar un proceso tedioso y poc...
