RAM Concept
RAM Concept is a separate application that designs conventionally reinforced and post-tensioned concrete floors and mat foundations. It is linked directly to RAM Structural System through an integrated, bi-directional data exchange.
RAM Concept completes a single floor analysis that is similar to the RAM Concrete analysis. Its capabilities also include a rigorous, non-linear load history analysis for long-term deflection calculations and a comprehensive dynamic analysis for walking-induced vibration response.
Examples of time-saving features available through the RAM Structural System-RAM Concept link and the RAM Concept analysis include:
- Import of lateral load effects and a lateral self-equilibrium analysis. When the out-of-plane stiffness of slabs are considered to be part of the lateral load path in the RAM Frame analysis, the slab and the slab-column connections need to be designed for the forces and moments determined in the analysis. RAM Concept imports the resultant forces of supports directly above and below a given floor and analyzes those sets of forces using a special self-equilibrium analysis. This analysis ensures that the load path assumed in each analysis is consistent without any manual effort.
- Export of support reactions. Column reactions for gravity loadings and post-tensioning effects can be exported from RAM Concept into RAM Structural System and considered in the column design routines in RAM Concrete.
