Strengthening of Slab using Carbon Fiber.

Hi Karl, I hope this message finds you well. May I please request you to add a feature in RAM Concept where we can model the carbon strip laminates to the soffit of the slab and check the change in the slab capacity and the quantity of CFRP requir...

Make Rebar length independent of plan units

I would like to request that you make an option available to make the units for the bar presentation different from the units that I work with in plan. I tend to work with inches when I am adjusting the geometries of slabs and bars because working...

As,mn for Beam per 9.6.1.3

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...

Ease of Modelling Structure

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...

Add rebar class to the API

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

Early Age Strength Checks for Temporary Loading during Construction

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 ...

Introduce staged PT stressing functionality to RAM Concept

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...

Save the analysis and design results after closing the application so that next day you can pick up from where you left and don't need to re-analyze the model.

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...

Prestressed Flexural Member Shear Design

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...

extracting data using the API from Audit Cross Section

I tried to find the sets of command using the API to extract data from the Audit Cross section, I believe it would be very great if this feature is available in Ram Concept if not already.
