RAM Masonry Wall Module for in-plane and out-of-plane loads has the option to input seismic weight. How is this used by the program since I do not see it listed anywhere in the report
The help pane provides some details. Here's the content for in-plane loads:
The lateral in-plane loads considered are the following:
Lateral in-plane loads; these are the horizontal floor loads applied to the wall. The user can define concentrated and/or distributed lateral loads. The loads applied in the plane of the wall generate shear forces. Moreover, there is an option to define the in-plane seismic weight; a spreadsheet is displayed where the user defines the seismic load case and a seismic coefficient equivalent to the ratio between the seismic acceleration and the gravity constant.
So am I missing something in the design report? The seismic weight is not listed even though I have defined the correct load case and Cs value for both in plane and out of plane
Hello Brandon, this is only a report issue, the sections for seismic weigth were not being reported properly, this has been fixed and will be available for the incoming release (v. 2023).
