  • RAM Concept Load History Deflection Analysis Results Table

    RAM Concept’s load history deflection calculations are complex due to the many non-linear behaviors that are considered (see Load History Deflection Calculations for more information). When unexpected results are obtained, it can be difficult to verify…

  • RAM Concept Load History Deflection Calculations

    Long-term concrete deflections are difficult to predict due to the influence of several non-linear behaviors that complicate the calculations. Historically, design engineers have relied on approximate methods, like deflection multipliers, to simplify…
