Concrete Model Data

The model data report includes all information on the model related to geometry and user assigned section and fixity properties for concrete members. The report includes the following:

SettingDescription
Story Data Each story's floor type and floor-to-floor heights as specified in the RAM Modeler.
Column Section Properties User defined concrete section properties as specified in the RAM Modeler.
Beam Section Properties User defined beam section properties as specified in the RAM Modeler. Includes the following:

# - Member identifier (next section of report refers to the section by identifier).

  • Label – User assigned section label for T and Rectangular beams. For pan joists the name is assigned by the RAM Modeler and represents the pan-joist size each side of the pan joist (or a dimension for an odd spaced pan if required). Refer to the RAM Modeler manual for more information on pan joist labeling.
  • Depth – For T and Rectangular sections this represents the full depth of the section (Top of concrete slab to bottom of web). For pan joists this represents the distance below the slab (pan depth).
  • Width – The total flange width of the section (if user specified flange overhangs are provided, this value will then equal the sum of the web thickness and the flanges overhangs). If the field is ‘calc’ then the properties are calculated and can be obtained from the Member Analysis Properties Report.
  • Flange Overhang – Dimensions of the flange width each side of the web. This dimension is measured from the outer edge of the web to the edge of the flange. If the field is ‘calc’ then the properties are calculated and can be obtained from the Member Analysis Properties Report.
  • Flange Thickness – Dimensions of the flange thickness each side of the web. If the field is ‘calc’ then the properties are calculated based on the assigned slab, and can be obtained from the Member Analysis Properties Report.
  • Web Thickness – The section web width. If the field is ‘var’ then the properties are variable and can be obtained from the Member Analysis Properties Report.
  • Crack Factor – The user assigned factor that is used to modify the analysis section properties as described in Section 3.2.6.
Members Concrete member specific calculated or assigned properties, including the following:
  • X, Y - Member X and Y coordinates in plan.
  • ZOffset – Distance of column top above or below the story elevation. For beam sections there are two rows of information representing the I and J end of the beam.
  • RigMaj, RigMin – Rigid end zone distances for major and minor axis.
  • FrameTy – Member frame type (lateral or gravity)
  • Fixity – Member assigned fixity conditions. Note that these may not be the same as the fixity seen when using the Process-Results-FE Model Info command as explained in Section 3.2.3.
  • Section – The member identifier for the section described in the Column Section Properties and Beam Section Properties at the top of the report.
