RAM SS Concrete Module - Add torsional design to Beams

Add torsional design to concrete beams to meet ACI requirements for seismic design.

RAM Connection should have the capability to design any kind of joints

It becomes difficult when there is no template that can apply to joint for connection design. For instance, I have I-section column and hollow rectangular section beam. There is no template that can design such kind of joint.

Retaining Wall Module - Add Wall-soil friction angle for passive soils

It has come to my attention that the program is using the Foundation base-soil friction coefficient to compute the passive pressure resistance when using Columb (it's using this to back calculate "delta"). To be frank, this is just wrong IMO. The ...

Check the number of stirrup legs required for beams per ACI 318-19 9.7.6.2.2

In ACI 318-19, they added a maximum spacing between stirrup legs in beams. I think the program bars generated in RAM concept should increase the number of legs to meet this criteria.

Weld/Design Connection on One Side of Girder Beam

Right now, all RAM Connection designs involving welding two sides of a connector piece to the Girder Beam. I know there are attachments where you can weld a WT for example on one side of the beam, but on the girder beam, RAM Connections still spec...

Allow construction grids to be converted to primary grids or provide new primary grid tools

Pretty self explanatory. Allow the user to convert a construction grid to a primary gird element. Grids are constantly changing throughout the design process due to requirements for columns to shift/etc. The tools for modifying primary grid system...

Separate Analysis per load

Many times I will change one load, for example a seismic load which is palced at the Ridge. Then I have to reanalyze and redesign the entire model, every load case. There should be a way to analyze only the affected load cases and redesign only th...

Early Age Strength Checks for Temporary Loading during Construction

It is well documented that all slabs undergo a variety of loading combinations during construction when the concrete has not yet achieved its target design strength. In the UK this is commonly during the second and third weeks, following the slab ...

NDS Cr values for assemblies.

Enhancement submitted on behalf of John Gruber. CS0134441 - PBI PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 1526907: NDS Cr values for assemblies. My member I was analyzing is 4-2x12. Therefore, there are four 2” nominal thickness members and are more than three members...
