Can I view the controlling load combination for strength design in Ram concept

Please how can I see/view the controlling load combination for strength design in Ram Concept? I designed a Mat slab that is supporting a shear wall and I included ultimate seismic east load then I added the load combination 1.27D + L+ E. I will like to see the Load combination Ram Concept used for the strength design. Do I have to view the Mx and My plan under each combination to see where the maximum occurred?

  • In Ram Concept, for Strength Design, we save and check an envelope of results for each design section based on the load combinations, lateral groups and load patterns with the active rule set = "Strength Design". This could be many distinct resultants, but we only save the envelopes, so there is no way to report back the specific combination (and pattern) that governed. You can look at the forces, reactions, etc. for specific combos if that helps. If you need to isolate, for example, the results of D + E1 vs. the results of D + E2 then "Single" type combinations would be required, as opposed to the program default "lateral group". For more on lateral groups, check the program manual Chapter 11 Specifying Load Combinations, (or search for that term on this Community).
