Hi:
I am working on a project where we sized the footings at our BRB frames like small mat foundations in RAM Concept. We sized them to stay within the maximum soil pressures given by the geotechnical engineer. We now want to use RAM Concept to determine the maximum load that footing that was previously design can resist before having an overturning instability. We have increased the loads to something crazy and never get an instability warning. where is this reported? OR how do you determine if one exist in Ram Concept.
See the forum on the web page below for more discussion:

You should review the pressures on Layers - Rule Set Designs - Soil Bearing Design - Min Soil Bearing Pressure Plan. If you see areas of negative pressures, then some of the area springs are in tension and there is a potential instability.
