Hi,
I am working on a Mat Foundation Raft to Eurocode 2 in RAM concept and have input all my own load cases and load combination (approx 100 different cases).
When I try to run this I get an error for all the rule sets saying that my load factors do not appear compatible.
All my loads have been put in as load type 'Other' except the defaults (self dead loading, balance loading and hyperstatic loading)
When I set up my load combinations I have selected them all to include all 'plans.'
What is likely to be causing these errors and if the load combinations I have put in are 100% correct does this error actually have an effect on my model output?
Regards,
Michael Barker
I am getting same error for load combinations to the "Strength Design" with Balanced Loading factor set to 0 or1 (see below). Is this error associated with Balanced Loading factor as well?
For combinations assigned to the Strength or Ductility Design rules, the load factor for the Hyperstatic Loading should be set to 1 and the load factor for the Balance Loading should be 0. For combinations assigned to a service design rule, the load factor for Balance Loading should be 1 and the load factor for the Hyperstatic Loading should be 0.
See excerpts from the RAM Concept manual below for more discussion. More on balance and hyperstatic loadings can be found here.
After making the adjustment to load factors for Strength and Ductility design rules, the program prompts following error message. Does this require adjustment to other factors?
For the combination above, you want a load factor of 1 for the Hyperstatic Loading (not 0 as shown) and 0 for the Balance Loading and Balance Load (transfer) (not 1 as shown).
