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...
Punching Shear Checking Using Torsion Strip AS3600
Hi Team, Can we please have a feature where the Punching Shear in RAM Concept is checked as per the torsion strip as per AS3600 requirements, currently it is based on ANCON shear connector. Kind regards, A.Garg
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...
Please add modeling features that allow for the sloped beam or slab and tapered beam or slab. These can help in easy modeling for ramps and other structures.

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...
Check the number of stirrup legs required for beams per ACI 318-19 9.7.6.2.2
In ACI 318-19, they added a maximum spacing between stirrup legs in beams. I think the program bars generated in RAM concept should increase the number of legs to meet this criteria.

The missing component in a largely automated workflow is the ability to draw design strips/span segments, specify settings and read results through the RAM API. It would be a massive help if this functionality was incorporated. We've seen other co...
