RAM Structural System Help

Code

This menu item is used to select the design code to be used for the design process. The current version of the RAM Concrete Wall module offers ACI 318-05, ACI 318-08, AS3600, BS8110-97 and CP65. Changing the design code selection will clear the design results for the entire model. The options listed in the Design Criteria menu are dependent on the selection here and will change upon selection of a different design code.

Note: It is strongly recommended that the reinforcement table selected in RAM Manager is consistent with the design code that is selected in this menu. Use of a reinforcing bar standard that is not recognized by the selected design code may result in unexpected, and possibly unpredictable results.
