Advanced Design of Reinforced and Post-tensioned Concrete Slabs and Mats


Overview

RAM Concept lets structural engineers model, analyze, and design virtually any cast-in-place geometry, no matter how complex. Efficiency and quality control are realized through the advanced analysis and design tools for reinforced and post-tensioned concrete slabs and mats. Integration allows for analysis and design of a multi-story concrete structure therefore streamlining workflows.

 

 


  • RAM Concept easily accounts for steps, openings, complicated loadings, and other irregularities through the flexible modeling environment. Its finite element-based analysis provides major advantages over conventional strip methods, letting you handle complex floor design more accurately and with increased confidence in the results. 
  • The integration with RAM Structural System and STAAD.Pro lets engineers perform gravity and lateral analysis and design on multi-story 2-way slab (post-tensioned or mild reinforced) concrete buildings. Not only does this streamline workflows but it also reduces cost related to errors in transferring model data. 
  • Improve your quality control and efficiency through the advanced analysis capabilities of RAM Concept, such as comprehensive and flexible punching shear calculations and long-term deflections considering cracking, creep, and shrinkage.

 

Developed for reinforced or post-tensioned slabs and mats, RAM Concept will save you precious time and money in the design of concrete structures.
