Allow for users to specify/override the Cp Leeward value in ASCE 7 wind generation to account for buildings built as additions to existing structures or allow for future additions to the current model. Current wind generation is unconservative in ...
When modeling braced frames on structures with sloping roofs, you are forced to model the diaphragm at one level without slope for proper lateral load application; this causes the brace geometry to be wrong. It would be nice to be able to model th...
We are increasingly being asked to assess options on the basis of carbon intensity. It would save many engineers lots of time if RAM SS & RAM Concept had the capability of calculating embodied carbon. It is a very simple addition - it could be...
Shear Wall Design Groups and Reinforcement gets deleted if I change f'c or stiffness modifiers or thicknesses.
Please revise shear wall module to not automatically delete sections cuts, groups, wall reinforcing, etc. when I change f'c, wall stiffness modifiers, or thicknesses.
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.
