Hi Team,
I have a issue with OOP load cases as the RAM SS wall design is not providing the actual beta angle i.e. 90 or 270 for pure OOP bending check.
Can we manually modify those angles? I have uploaded my RAM model with name pnautiyal@miyamotointernational.com(beta_angle).
If it requires a meeting, please send me the link to connect with you on this.
Please help me on this ASAP.
Hi Karl,
Thank you for the response.
In our case I am not sure if RAM is performing OOP design for tilt-up walls.
I have OOP load cases in model but still the beta angle in the design is coming out to be 180 degrees.
How does one convincingly do perform design of walls for OOP forces?
It appears that there is a small major moment in the wall due to gravity load. I recommend checking the wall forces in RAM Frame to confirm. The presence of a major moment would result in a Beta angle that does not align with the 90 or 270 degree angles that you are referring to.
Its is showing either 0, 180, or 360 deg. Please confirm why??
