RAM Concrete Beam Reports

RAM Concrete Beam output is designed to provide the engineer with all necessary data for the review of calculations for concrete beam design. The reports have been designed to duplicate the information provided in hand calculations. The reports also provide the required information for detailing the beams.

Below is a summary of the reports available in RAM Concrete Beam mode. A more complete explanation of the output follows.

SettingDescription
Criteria A list of the currently specified beam design criteria as well as user assigned Section and Reinforcement Layout information.
Load Combinations A list of all of the concrete generated and user defined load combinations, including the parameters used for the generated load combinations. This report is identical to the Load Combinations report generated in the Concrete Column Design mode.
Beam Design A detailed report showing all of the pertinent information used in and generated during the beam design.
Beam Design Summary A list of the basic design information required to detail and perform cost estimates for beams.
Beam Deflection Summary The controlling deflection calculation and ratio for each beam.
Material Take Off A material take off of all the designed beams in the model. Information includes concrete volume and reinforcement quantity and weight.
