Beginning in ASCE 7-22/IBC 2024, structural designs must consider tornado wind loads for essential facilities. The calculation of these loads and the associated load combinations should be added to RSS.

Agregar la verificación de conectores de corte tipo Cruz, con perfiles tipo W HEA, HEB o perfiles Tubulares (circulares o cuadrados) dentro del la interfas de RAM que esta dentro del Staad Pro.

ASCE 7 (10, 16, and 22 versions) section 27.1.5 specifies a minimum wind load on the entire building projected area (see commentary). This should be applied as a separate load case. RAM Frame treats this as individual floors shall not receive less...

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...

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 ...

Add rebar class to the API. This will help in developing interoperability plugins between RAM and BIM/CAD software.

Hi Karl, I hope this message finds you well. May I suggest adding a feature in RAM Concept where the structure can be modelled/imported based on AutoCAD layers, so if I select polyline from acad in Concept and ask it to import it as a slab and lik...

There seems to be a fundamental problem with lateral drift for wind in RAM Frame. Currently, accounting for lateral drift in accordance with ASCE 7, Appendix CC "Serviceability Considerations" requires some juggling. To follow this procedure, one ...

It looks like RAM Concept uses an approximate method per Table 22.5.8.2 for calculating Vc and does not use the alternative option Vc per 22.5.8.3. There are cases where the shear capacity per 22.5.8.3 is less than the approximate method Per Tabl...

RAM Beam needs to allow zoom with mouse scroll similar to other RAM modules.
