RAM Foundation provides structural engineers with flexibility, offering a multitude of foundation types including spread, continuous, and pile caps. Time saving and accurate modeling and revision tools are available for customized user control of the final designs. Through the integration with the RAM Structural System duplication of effort is eliminated by allowing for the creation of a single model for the design of the structure and foundations.
- An efficient environment is created when dealing with changes through the integration between the structure and foundation model utilizing RAM Structural System. Changes are automatically tracked all the way down to the foundations.
- Comprehensive design and documentation is provided through designs of multiple foundation types, multiple design codes with U.S. and metric bar sizes, and design optimization. Once designed, foundation calculations, details, and foundation plans are produced with just a few clicks of the mouse.
- The interactive modeling and revision tools save time through a physical modeling system and a graphical display of design and results with a View Update tool. With its interactive tools, designs can be refined for both foundation dimensions and steel reinforcement.
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.
“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.”
- Steve Devine, Structural Engineer, Bala Consulting
