Dear Sir
Good day.
I'm a new user of RAM Element, I have a query as per below :-
I do modelling and run analysis using RAM Element, after that directly design pad footing using module tools.
From the report and analysis, where should I check whether my footing got uplift force or not ?
where I can get the value of uplift force from the report ?
Is there any guidance for me to refer on the topic related to that ?
In the main program you might use the Output - Analysis Results - Nodal Reactions (or View - Reactions), probably for service load combinations.
From the spread footing module you can use the bearing pressure plot or the design report includes the area in compression as well as a maximum safety factor for sliding and overturning.
