Ram Concept Mat Foundation Tutorial

Export reactions including post tensioning effects to ram structural system for column design.

Ram concept mat foundation tutorial.

Ram concept automatically multiples the area spring constant units of force per cubic length by the tributary area of each finite node determined from mesh size to determine the spring constant units of force per length at each node. Mat foundations modeled in ram structural system can be exported into ram concept for analysis and design using the ram manager design ram concept option or from within ram concept using file sync ram structural system new from ram ss. Mat foundation tutorial this chapter will walk you through the steps for modeling a mat foundation also known as a raft. To design the foundations.

The estimated perimeter of the mat must be modeled to encompass all of the supported columns and walls and some concrete deck also needs to be assigned to the mat in ram modeler. Ram concept is a program analysis and design using finite element methods for high concrete floor system or the foundation system. The metric values are not exact conversions. Alternative metric values and units are identified in square brackets next to the us units.

Transfer floor or raft mat foundation geometry and loading including lateral load effects from ram structural system. Select process design all footings.
