RAM STEEL®
RAM Structural System’s productivity tool for gravity
analysis and design of steel structures
RAM Steel is powerful and versatile special purpose software for the analysis and design of steel
building structures. It is useful in the design and analysis of commercial, institutional, residential and
industrial buildings. As part of the RAM Structural System, RAM Steel works from a model created
with the RAM Modeler to accurately compute tributary loads to all members, reduce live loads in
accordance with applicable building codes, and design steel and steel composite beams and girders,
steel joists and joist girders, steel columns and base plates for every level in the entire structure.
