RAM Elements Loadbearing Masonry 3D Software eSeminar


          The National Concrete Masonry Association, the International Masonry Institute, Ryan Biggs Associates and Bentley Systems have teamed up to develop a new, innovative structural software program to efficiently perform a whole building analysis of load bearing masonry buildings. The software uses a whole building approach – not just the analysis of individual components. Learn how this approach leads to easier and faster engineering design of masonry buildings including irregular configurations, wall openings, perforated shear-walls, multi-story structures and structural infill panels in structural steel frames and more.

Webinar Contents : 

  • Loadbearing masonry engineering design criteria and methods.
  • Options for using this innovative software for loadbearing masonry structures.
  • Demonstration of our industry leading software technology using RAM Elements for loadbearing masonry buildings of virtually any height
