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...

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...

Hi Karl, I hope this message finds you well, can we have an option to see the wall reaction in kN/m instead of just kN?

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...

This feature will save the user runtime by not analysis the model again and again after it is closed once your working hours are done and next day engineer can pick it up from the same page where he left without re analysis the model, sometimes th...

Hi Karl, I hope this message finds you well, may I please request to include a full screen crosshair (just like in AutoCAD) in the program so that we can see if the tendon is in a same line when separated by an opening or when the slab is very lar...

Being able to create custom load combos using the API would be extremely useful if there was an option to specify which plans to generate along with each combo (stress, force, deflection, reactions, soil bearing). Having to create the plans manual...
