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...

The idea is to have the option to include lateral loads on walls at RAM Structural system. There are a lot of projects with underground floors (garage) that have concrete walls to retain the earth around it Gustavo

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...

The ability to flag a member as a wind girt so wind loading is applied to the member if a diaphragm is not present.

The ability to split members (beams and walls) in Modeler would be very helpful, rather than delete and reenter

It will be helpful for RAM Concept to allow the engineer to specify at what stage the PT slab or beam will be stressed, in a similar mechanism to what RAPT allows. It would also be helpful for RAM Concept to warn the user when Clause 8.1.6.2 is no...

Update AS3600 to latest version (2018) in Ram Concrete Module for concrete beam, column & wall design

We design many buildings that include a combination of materials. Integrating masonry material properties by default and adding design for masonry would be useful, similar to Risa.

Lifting lugs and cap plates are always needed for modular design which is done within Staad + Ram Connection...these are standard type of connections and their design should be accommodated within the programs vs having to use other programs to do...
