RAM Concept is structural software for the design of post-tensioned and reinforced concrete floors including slabs, mats, and rafts. It provides exceptional visibility into compliance, efficiency, and practicality. Design floors and foundations reliably and efficiently, saving time and money, and overcoming the most common concerns you face as a designer. RAM Concept allows you to easily design complex floor geometries and incorporate changes with ease using powerful task automation and clearly organized output.
Design
Design Using Finite Element Analysis
Design entire concrete floors and mat foundations in a single model using finite element analysis results and auto-generated design strips. Reduce time spent accounting for irregular floor geometry and reacting to architectural changes.
Design Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors
Design unbonded and bonded post-tensioning with virtually any layout or profile. Better understand the effects of internal tendon loadings with analysis results that consider full 3D hyperstatic effects, including support restraint.
Develop More Cost-Effective Designs
Optimize concrete floors and foundations using design automation algorithms that rigorously check all code limit states with extensive support of international standards. Save engineering time and avoid reworking designs for additional cost savings.
Analyze
Analyze gravity, lateral, and temperature loads
Design and analyze simple or complex concrete floors for a wide range of loading conditions, including skip live loads, wind/seismic loads, and temperature loads.
Calculate Deflections For Time-Dependent Effects
Capture time-varying concrete material properties and loading sequence in your analysis. Account for concrete cracking behavior and more accurately predict concrete floor deflections.
Analyze floors for walking vibration
Study dynamic behavior of concrete floors due to walking vibration with consideration of both resonant and impulsive effects. Evaluate sensitivity criteria for occupants or sensitive equipment.
