The Structural Products development team is pleased to announce the availability of RAM Concept CONNECT Edition Update 4 (08.04.00.122) is structural software for the design of post-tensioned and reinforced concrete floors including slabs, mats, and rafts.
RAM Concept CE Update 4 (08.04.00.122) Release Notes – Date: November 2022
Early Access Program – iTwin Synchronization to Cloud Workflow
The Early Access Program (EAP) for the iTwin Synchronize to Cloud Workflow continues with this version. A practical application of this technology is the ability for RAM Concept users push PT tendon profiles to a 3D analytical iTwin and review those profiles in elevation/cross section views across the floor (see image below). RAM Concept users can access the capabilities of this workflow at no additional charge by participating in the program. After the EAP concludes, a separate license will be required to access the cloud synchronization features. The local iTwin Synchronize to File Workflow is and will continue to be included with the RAM Concept license.
Resolved Issues
RAM Concept CONNECT Edition V8 Update 4 includes fixes for the issues discussed below.
ACI 318 Span Detailing Requirements
In the final design pass, the beta1 factor may have been calculated incorrectly based on the provided shear reinforcement. This caused Vu,min to be calculated incorrectly and caused the fitment spacing check to fail. When this issue occurred, the shear design was correct, but a failure was incorrectly reported.
Exception Error when Importing DWG Files
In rare cases, an exception error prevented certain DWG files from being imported into RAM Concept.
Errors when Opening and Printing Results Tables
In v08.03.00 and v08.03.01, some default reaction tables were setup to plot max or min context results when only standard results were available. This issue prevented users from opening the affected tables and caused an error to be displayed for the missing values when generating reports.
File Compatibility Warning
RAM Concept CONNECT Edition V8 Update 4 can read all previous file formats but writes files in a format that cannot be read by previous versions.
RAM Concept is a software application for the structural analysis and design of conventionally reinforced and post-tensioned concrete floors, mats, and rafts. RAM Concept contains an advanced feature set that allows for the design of a wide variety of floor systems including post-tensioned, reinforced concrete and hybrid systems, elevated slabs and mat/raft foundations, one-way slabs, two-way slabs, beams, and joist systems. Historically, the vast majority of concrete floors have been analyzed by approximating a region of a slab as a frame (or design strip), and then analyzing the frame/strip using variations of conventional frame or moment distribution analysis techniques. There are two limitations to this approach. First, in irregular structures, the approximation of the real structure into a frame model could be grossly inaccurate and designing with the analysis results might not even satisfy equilibrium requirements in the real structure. The second limitation is that even in regular structures with regular loadings, the frame analysis approximates the slab/column interaction and provides no information regarding the distribution of forces across the design strip. RAM Concept enables the engineer to design post-tensioned and reinforced concrete slabs by using a finite element model of the entire slab. RAM Concept can predict the elastic behavior of a slab much more accurately than frame models. In addition, the finite element method guarantees that the analysis satisfies all equilibrium.
