Torsion Capacity Reporting

See PRODUCT BACKLOG ITEM 1677993 In RAM Concrete Beam and Column, we report 0.75*Tn, which is actually 0.75*Tth (see ACI 318-19 22.7.4.1). I recommend using that notation in Concrete Beam and Column Design reports when ACI 318-14 or ACI318-19 is u...

Add special boundary element design for shear walls with Hw/Lw < 2. ACI 318-19 Section 18.10.6.3

In the concrete wall module, special boundary element zone requirements are only checked against the displacement method (ACI 18.10.6.2). In ACI 318-14 and 19 section 18.10.6.2 is directed at slender walls with Hw/Lw >= 2. If the aspect ratio o...

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...
