Wall element properties are similar to column element properties though instead of width, depth and angle there is thickness. The fixity settings are somewhat different, and there is no Bending Stiffness Factor.

The following is a list of RAM Concept wall element properties:

Concrete Mix Type of concrete used (defined in Materials Specification).

Height Vertical distance from centroid of slab element to far end of wall element.

Support Set Defines the wall element as below or above the floor.

Thickness

Shear wall "Locks" the wall element to the slab horizontally and thus restrains it; otherwise, the slab can "slide" over the wall.

Fixed Near Provides a moment connection between the wall element and the slab about the wall element’s r-axis; otherwise pinned

Fixed Far Provides a moment connection about the wall element’s r-axis at far end; otherwise pinned.

Compressible Allows for wall element to elongate in the z-direction according to Hooke’s law; otherwise incompressible. Compressible walls usually produce results that are more accurate.
