Hi
I am designing mat foundation in Ram concept.
What difference are maximum and minimum bearing pressure plan?
How calculate the value?
Is it depending on the loading direction?
Which one do I use it for design?
@ Seth: Does RAM Concept specify for which load combination specifically am I getting the Max and Min values for the bearing pressure?
If you are using the Soil Bearing Rule Set Design plot then no, that is an envelope of load combinations (and patterns). You can plot the bearing pressure for individual load combinations, however.
Thank you Seth!
