Harley Ellis Devereaux Selects Bentley's RAM Concept
EXTON,
PA, May 1, 2008 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced that Harley
Ellis Devereaux, a leading architectural, engineering, and planning firm
with more than 500 employees in five offices, has selected Bentley’s RAM
Concept application to help design the concrete structural elements of its
13-story Eastgate Village senior residence project in Chicago. RAM Concept
is finite-element-based analysis and design software for reinforced and
post-tensioned concrete slabs and mats that allows users to more accurately
and efficiently design complex floors. The Harley Ellis Devereaux project
team is already using Bentley’s RAM Structural System on this project to
create the 3D model, perform gravity and lateral stress analysis, and to
design the beams, shear walls, and columns. Because RAM Concept is fully
integrated with RAM Structural System, the team will be able to
cost-effectively complete the design of the flat slab while meeting the
project’s challenging delivery schedule.
In addition to RAM Concept and RAM Structural System, Harley Ellis
Devereaux uses RAM Connection for its structural Building Information
Modeling (BIM) needs. RAM Connection is an integrated steel connection
design and optimization tool for shear, moment, and brace connections.
“Our firm has relied on the Bentley RAM product family for more than 10
years to enhance our productivity within our structural discipline and
facilitate collaboration among our multidiscipline project teams,” said Don
Giroux, Harley Ellis Devereaux chief operating officer. “Without question,
these benefits have contributed significantly to improving the quality of
our projects and reducing problems during the construction phase of a
project.”
Said Jim Corsiglia, a senior structural engineer and principal with
Harley Ellis Devereaux, “By adding Bentley’s integrated concrete solution to
our tool set, we are able to more efficiently complete the design of an
entire building all the way down to the foundation. In the past, we would
have had to manually transfer loads from one application to another,
creating the potential for errors and consequent tedious, time-consuming
changes. However, because Bentley’s concrete tools interoperate with all of
our other RAM applications, we now spend less time correcting errors and
more time being innovative and productive in our design work.”
