RAM Steel Beam Design

This module is a powerful tool to perform a rapid, interactive, design of all your steel gravity beams using a variety of steel design codes. The program optimizes steel composite and noncomposite beams, open web steel joists and C-Beamâ„¢TM. Tributary loads for each member are automatically calculated by the program based on the geometry of the members and the decking. Only the gravity loads applied to one-way decking are used as design loads. The program can also be used to evaluate user selected members.
