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...

As,mn for Beam per 9.6.1.3

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...

Prestressed Flexural Member Shear Design

It looks like RAM Concept uses an approximate method per Table 22.5.8.2 for calculating Vc and does not use the alternative option Vc per 22.5.8.3. There are cases where the shear capacity per 22.5.8.3 is less than the approximate method Per Tabl...

Steel frame vibration check based on finite element analysis

RAM Steel does the vibration check based on FloorVibe. However, with complex geometry finite element basis on design guide 11 is required to check vibrations. Other programs like ETABS, Robot Autodesk or Tekla does these calculations. Please have...

Remove 0 stress limit from displayed wall stresses in Frame

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...

Aluminium Design Features

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.

Lateral Drift Load Combinations for Wind

There seems to be a fundamental problem with lateral drift for wind in RAM Frame. Currently, accounting for lateral drift in accordance with ASCE 7, Appendix CC "Serviceability Considerations" requires some juggling. To follow this procedure, one ...
