When looking at the long term deflections in RAM Concept, not using the Long Term Load History calculations. I check the Service Design rule set and under Section analysis, I check the selector called Long Term Deflection, This appears to take the elastic deflection and multiple it by the effective curvature ratio to get the long term deflection. However at some locations where the effective curvature ratio is over 3.35 at the ends it appears to take a weighted average based on the span conditions, is this true?
Is there any guidance on how to do the weighted averages? I seem to remember something being in the manual before the long term load history was added, however I cannot seem find it.
Is there any way to plot specific section analysis parameters under the load combinations instead of under the rule set designs?
Thanks,
