Ram Concept Mat Foundation Tutorial

Transfer floor or raft mat foundation geometry and loading including lateral load effects from ram structural system.

Ram concept mat foundation tutorial.

Select process design all footings. To design the foundations. 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. Alternative metric values and units are identified in square brackets next to the us units.

Export reactions including post tensioning effects to ram structural system for column design. Mat foundation tutorial this chapter will walk you through the steps for modeling a mat foundation also known as a raft. The system can be floor or the concrete after tensioning pt reinforced concrete rc or hybrid a mixture between pt and rc. Ram concept is a program analysis and design using finite element methods for high concrete floor system or the foundation system.

The program will calculate the optimum sizes for all of the footings. 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.
