    Thank you for posting these suggestions.

    RAM Concept can complete one-way shear checks per the Indian Code. Refer to Section 69.6.6 "Section 40 Design Resistance" in the current version of the RAM Concept Manual for details.

    Soultions for water tanks with design codes like IS 3370 are a focus of the STAAD Concrete team. They will consider adding support for IS 3370 with the checks you mention in the future. I see that there is already a corresponding idea that has been filed for this with that team.

    The raft foundation stability checks that you mention are available now in STAAD Foundation. We will consider adding something similar in RAM Concept.

    In RAM concept,for raft foundation,there isn't option available for stability checks of raft foundation,like stability against overturning against both principal axes, stability against maximum base pressure check, stability against uplift in case water table is closest/above foundation,stability against sliding etc,we need to put much manual and approximate effort to calculate these,kindly make RAM concept enough to extract these quantities directly, in result tables/anywhere.... Also punching shear option is available there,but one way shear check isn't there (I say all these related to Indian code ) Also various checks for Indian code(IS 3370 part 1/2/3/4) like crack width check, concrete strength check,steel stress check etc. not incorporated in RAM concept ,kindly add this feature ...thanks
