Forces from RAM Concrete Analysis

In RAM Concrete the user has the option of specifying continuity conditions for all concrete and 'other' type beams. These continuity conditions along with the assigned section properties and applied loads are used to calculate the gravity forces and reactions on all the supporting columns. The column forces are accumulated down the structure and are available at the base of the structure to load the foundation. Gravity wall axial loads are also transferred down the structure to the foundation in the Concrete Analysis.
