In the fourth segment of this quick start guide, we transition from a simple orthogonal structure to one with a few irregularities, learning how this changes our modeling considerations in RAM Concept. The key items covered in the segment include:
- Orienting cross sections and reinforcing so that they are not perpendicular to the span direction.
- Adding a region of thickened slab.
- Defining the portion of a non-rectangular cross section that is effective in resisting shear.
- Adding an opening within the slab.
