Ram Foundation is an integrated module within the RAM Structural System that performs the design, evaluation, and analysis of spread, continuous, and pile cap foundations.
RAM Foundation quickly produces optimum foundation designs for the entire structure based on a wide range of customizable design criteria and user options. With its interactive tools, designs can be refined for both foundation dimensions and steel reinforcement. Once designed, foundation calculations, details, and foundation plans are produced with just a few clicks of the mouse using RAM's customizable reports and dxf output capabilities. Imagine the impact of that kind of productivity.
RAM Foundation is used by structural engineers for the design of buildings of virtually every usage and construction type: commercial, residential, educational; steel, concrete, wood, masonry; high-rise or low-rise; new construction or retrofit.
In the stressful engineering environment, changes, often lots of them, are inevitable. Now when changes occur, let the RAM Structural System, with RAM Foundation, do all the extra work. Changes are automatically tracked all the way down to the foundations. Verifying existing foundations or generating new foundation designs is easy.
“We use RAM Foundation on all our projects that have concrete spread or continuous footings. It has been great time saver, especially for lateral system footings. Being integrated with the superstructure model also provides huge time savings when changes occur.”
