Ram Series manual


Concrete dimension

Ram Series can dimension the steel necessary to add to the concrete in order to resist the calculated strengths. The dimension and checking is based on the EHE Spanish  regulation. It is based in a point per point checking. In this way, any type of structural typology can be analyzed.  To begin, choose:

Concrete->Concrete

Dimension of the plate over the support

To dimension the plate just over the support, select on point close to the support after pressing button Sel. In the window.

Check that you want to dimension in the x' axe, typology type: plate and then press button Dimension.

Note: In theory, it would be necessary to select the point just over the support to dimension the section. In practice, it is better to select one point more separated, in order to have less strengths there, and accept a little of plasticity in the materials.

Ram Series gives one proposal for arming the section and the level of security that the proposed steel has:

To modify it press button transfer (the triangle pointing to right in the figure). The proposed steel is included as one steel set in the system.

Select the included steel set from the list and pick button Edit/Ren. Another option is just create a new steel set with button New. Then, change it as seen in the figure:

Press Ok and then, select the newly created steel set and press Check. To see the calculation made to justify this steel, select View Results
