RAM Load Combination

OK. Got it. Are these load combinations are use same in concrete and beam design?

Suspended slab could not be designed in RAM SS, However, the slab model in RAM SS can be exported to RAM CONCEPT? Sorry for too many questions. Just want to know how to design using RAM.

Thanks again folks!

Because the different materials utilize different load factors each module has it's own complete set of combos which can be reported from those modules.

Slabs can be analyzed in RAM SS, but the design can only be done by exporting the data out, typically to RAM Concept.

Thank you very much Mr. Seth!

Hi Seth,

How will I know which particular load combinations governed in my concrete beam/column design? Are these combinations can be viewed in the report?

In RAM Concrete, in addition to having lots of load combinations, there are also load patterns (aka skip loading) to consider. Consequently, the Beam design report won't report the specific load pattern and combo that controls the design. The Concrete column module does indicate the governing combo, but not the specific pattern that controls.
