Description

Bentley RAM Concept 2024

The Go-To for concrete slab and foundation design

what is RAM concept?

RAM Concept is structural software for the design of post-tensioned and reinforced concrete floors including slabs, mats, and rafts. It provides exceptional visibility into compliance, efficiency, and practicality. Design floors and foundations reliably and efficiently, saving time and money, and overcoming the most common concerns you face as a designer. RAM Concept allows you to easily design complex floor geometries and incorporate changes with ease using powerful task automation and clearly organized output.

Design

Design Using Finite Element Analysis 

Design entire concrete floors and mat foundations in a single model using finite element analysis results and auto-generated design strips. Reduce time spent accounting for irregular floor geometry and reacting to architectural changes.

Design Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors 

Design unbonded and bonded post-tensioning with virtually any layout or profile. Better understand the effects of internal tendon loadings with analysis results that consider full 3D hyperstatic effects, including support restraint.

Develop More Cost-Effective Designs

Optimize concrete floors and foundations using design automation algorithms that rigorously check all code limit states with extensive support of international standards. Save engineering time and avoid reworking designs for additional cost savings.

Icon analysis

Analyze

Analyze gravity, lateral, and temperature loads 

Design and analyze simple or complex concrete floors for a wide range of loading conditions, including skip live loads, wind/seismic loads, and temperature loads.

Calculate Deflections For Time-Dependent Effects

Capture time-varying concrete material properties and loading sequence in your analysis. Account for concrete cracking behavior and more accurately predict concrete floor deflections.

Analyze floors for walking vibration

Study dynamic behavior of concrete floors due to walking vibration with consideration of both resonant and impulsive effects. Evaluate sensitivity criteria for occupants or sensitive equipment.
