Tall Structure analysis for Lateral Load and Construction Stage using RAM Structural: An Overview

Tall structure design is a specific field which requires extensive calculation and advanced analysis. Several advanced structural elements like shear core, belt truss or outrigger elements are used in tall building along with advanced analysis like dynamic analysis with p-delta analysis or construction stage analysis.
In this video, I have provided an overview how we can easily model and analyze any tall building using RAM Structural System. Effect of lateral load on tall building and consideration of construction stage and drift control is covered.

i was nice to watch this. I wanted more detail about this.

[@hazimalwaali9507]

Great.

[@afzalhussain7466]

Nice

how the seismic analysis for 3 under ground basement please speak something about yhis

[@surojit_ghosh]

For the portion of the structure which is below ground level, seismic force distribution is different (VBu is calculated separately). You can go through IS1893 (part 1):2016 code where you can find how the seismic forces are calculated and distributed for underground structure. Same is implemented in STAAD (you need to define additional parameter to inform program about the underground structure) and RAM structural. If you have multiple basements, you only need to define few additional parameters to consider the seismic force distribution properly. I will try to cover this aspect in detail in seismic analysis series which I plan to release later this year.

Will we get to see any videos on ram concept post tensioning?

[@surojit_ghosh]

This is a very interesting topic indeed. And RAM Concept has a very powerful design engine which not only can design post-tension slab, but also can optimize the tendon layout for a more economic design. I will cover both RCC and post tension slab design using RAM Concept in 2022.

@@surojit_ghosh just have started using ram concept, eagerly waiting for your uploads in ram concept to broaden my horizon

[@nandkumarsharma4882]

dear Surojit Ghosh I wanted a complete step by step working of this model. Could you please upload this. It will be very helpful for us.

[@surojit_ghosh]

Thanks for your interest, Nand. Next year, I will post several videos on modelling, analysis and design of regular and irregular building structures using STAAD and RAM Structural including this building.
