export concrete column design forces

Currently, the concrete column design forces report only shows dead and live loads, but I would like to get combination loads that may include wind, seismic, etc.

Custom Load Combinations in RAM Steel Beam/Steel Column

Please add the ability to generate load combinations and create custom load combinations in RAM Steel Beam and RAM Steel Column for the gravity loads. Updated codes and additional requirements (such as the need to incorporate FM Global datasheets)...

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...

Maximize embodied carbon reductions in design optimization

I'm working on reducing the embodied carbon of a project of mine, and I'm having to compare column systems, between WF columns and HSS. WF columns have significantly lower embodied carbon (~60% reductions when using the same weight of steel), so I...

RAM SS- Axial Design Check for Braced Frame/Collector Beams

Adding an axial design check for beams or collectors to a braced frame lateral frame system. In particularly for rigid diaphragms these forces are not applied to horizontal members and require separate hand checks or analysis in another program. T...

Develop a procedure for linking RAM SS & RAM Concept models when both steel framing and two-way slabs are on the same level

There is a pretty nice procedure for importing geometry from RAM SS to RAM Concept for two-way slab design and vise versa to capture the two-way slab properties in RAM SS. But this is really only idealized for when there is only a two-way podium a...

Internalize Floor Vibration Analysis/Design

Given the apparent impasse on acquiring licenses to FloorVibe, and the number of hurdles in the way of using FloorVibe, it seems that integrating this analysis directly within RAM SS would be beneficial. For a long time this was a selling point of...
