Lateral Forces
For each lateral beam the following forces are calculated at each station for each lateral load case in RAM Frame:
Lateral Load Case force at each station
- Major Moment.
- Major Axis Shear.
- Torsion.
These lateral forces are combined in load combinations and enveloped as described in Section 2.3.3 to generate the final design envelope for each type of force (shear, moment and torsion).
