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...

When viewing wall stresses in RAM Frame, I would like the ability to set the lower bound above 0. This allows me to set a pass/fail stress test. For example, if I’m interested in 0.163 ksi (which I am), I want to set the upper AND lower bound to 0...

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...

Please Incorporate the Splice Connections consider the seismic provisions from AISC 341-10 codes in RAM connection software. This will be very useful for High seismic zone.

99% of the details I have seen for vertical x-bracing shows one member continuous. I design a lot of connections for a steel fabricator and I am always required to perform a hand calc or 2 ram connection calcs with one being the horizontal X-brace...

Currently, there is no way to design a gusset base plate connection if the column base has braces coming into it from 2 different planes. You can't even assign 2 separate connections, one for each plane, like you can at CBB joints.

RAM concrete ignores out-of-plane shear stress less than 0.000050 ksi. Allow us to increase this threshold or ignore it entirely. I'm still getting walls flagged for 0.2 kips of out-of-plane shear in a 10' wide by 26" thick wall.

Currently, if the user sets up wall designs in Ram Concrete Wall, updating the cracked factor in RAM Modeler deletes all Concrete Wall groups/section cuts/rebar assignments/etc stating that "the geometry of the wall was updated." This gets extreme...

In this version, each joints are designed after they are selected as per each type but too many case should be designed manually. Interface of RAM is great but it takes much time to input all the data of joints. Suggested as below; 1. Joint grou...
