The Concrete Reinforcement Tables contain the reinforcement geometry information used for concrete design in RAM Concrete and RAM Foundation. The Concrete Reinforcement Table is assigned in RAM Manager.

Two Concrete Reinforcement Tables are provided with the RAM Structural System. RAMASTM.REN contains the ASTM reinforcement bar definitions for English units, RAMASTMM.REN contains the ASTM bars for SI or metric units.

The Concrete Reinforcement Tables are in text file format and can be edited, allowing the engineer to customize the tables. Bar sizes are listed in order of increasing size. Sizes not included in the original files can be added and those that are not used can be removed. In the RAM Concrete and RAM Foundation modules, there is also an option to select which bars are used for flexure and which are used for shear reinforcement.

It is recommended that edited files be given different names than the original files to distinguish them from the originals. Otherwise, a backup copy of the file should be made before editing so the original file can be recovered if desired.
