I'm running a RAM Concept model with customized load combos to consider staged pre-stressing in the PT beams.
The following errors occurred while it's running. My question is if there are some rules i can follow to make sure such errors don't occur? Also does Concept still check the load combo even if it identifies it as an error?
Thanks very much!
RAM Concept expects a 1.0 factor for Balance Loading for combinations assigned to the Service Design rule and 1.0 for Hyperstatic Loading for combinations assigned to the Strength Design rule. Warnings are displayed if other load factors are used, most often when those load factors are 0.
Yes, the load combination will be checked despite the error. It is an alert to the user to review the load combinations to ensure that they are correct.
Thanks Karl. It's really helpful.
