Mega column design in, RAM Structural Systems designs mega columns throughout the building. Mega columns or mega frame systems have large cross-section columns running continuously throughout the building. The system resists all the vertical and horizontal loads. These columns can also have inner voids like shear walls and are used in tall buildings.

  • Firstly, for this demonstration, model four mega columns by wall element.
  • Secondly, mesh the floor and wall. RAM Structural System well optimizes the floor and wall meshes.
  • Next, analyze the model to get the displacement, Stress, and internal force contours and design details.

The video below shows the detailed demonstration:
