Ram concept - AS 3600.2009
Hi everyone,
When I first looked into load combination of AS.3600-2009 for prestressed concrete, the initial service load combo in Standard is 0.9SW + 1.15P, which is different from 0.8SW + 1.15P in Ram Concept manual.
Can anyone explained me why?
This is a change that was made between 2001 and 2009 that did not get picked up. We will get it fixed up for our next release. The current implementation is conservative.
