RAM Elements CONNECT Edition v16.3.1 Release Notes

RAM Elements CONNECT Edition v16.03.00.101 Release 
Notes – Updated March 2021 (under construction)

This is a patch for v16.3 release.

Resolved Issues:

• Wall modules tolerance issue for stresses calculated for integrated mode. This is fixed now and stresses from integrated mode are calculated correctly.
  
  
• Vertical reinforcement development length was included for shear walls in the Masonry Design module.
  
  
• ACI 318-11 incorrect shear strength ratio for circular concrete members. This is fixed now and critical stations and ratios are determined properly.
  
  
• Tilt-Up Wall module using simplified analysis for walls with openings was returning incorrect wall segments gross areas. This is fixed now and simplified analysis works correctly.
  
  
• AISC 360 was reporting incorrectly the length used to calculate the maximum slenderness limit in tension. This is fixed now and the length is reported as the member length.
