What is RAM Concept:
RAM Concept software is the most commonly used finite element program for Reinforced and Post Tensioned slab design throughout Australia. RAM Concept is a very powerful tool with a lot of analysis and design capabilities, giving user the full control to evaluate and comprehend the model. It can be overwhelming when you start using RAM, and if you don’t model it right, don’t expect to get right results. It is critical you understand what are you doing, as the program will give you output based on your input.
Learning Outcomes:
- Learn the analysis and design process in RAM Concept by going through the steps for an actual project
- Attain principle knowledge of using RAM Concept, from modeling to assigning design parameters and reading results
- Understand how to apply relevant part of concrete design code (AS3600) when using RAM Concept software
Course Outline:
- Introduction to RAM concept and PT Slabs
- Define Design Strip Properties and create them from BMD
- Define Punching Shear Parameters and Assign Loading
- Generate PT Layouts and Adjust to meet AS3600 requirements
- Correct Load History Parameters including Creep & Shrinkage Factors
- Various load combinations used in RAM and the reasons for them
- Analysis & Design the Model/ Correct Error & Warning
- Read and Interpret Outputs

I thought the course was quite relatable. A lot of the discussion did cover not only use of the software but how to engineer using the software.

Great course for beginners. Would be greater if more cases are introduced in the course.
Tatiana Merzliakova
Very well explained, easy to follow course. Thanks for some design tips. I believe now I have enough knowledge to start my first PT model. Looking forward to an advanced course.
Anubhav Garg
Good for Beginners.

I liked covering design principles at each step of modelling. It was great to focua on not just software but also the engineering basics with all assumptions.
One person found this helpful.
Very very interesting , will be opting for the advanced course also , could have included manual tendon designing also and some more elements could be added like retaining walls , pour strips . thank you Mr.Aaron .
