Codes generally specify which loadings you need to consider in the design of a structure and how you should combine these loadings.

RAM Concept 's default load combinations depend on how you created the file. When you use a template or an existing file then the default load combinations are those of the source.

When you create a file using the New command the default load combinations depend on the code selected. These load combinations are usually appropriate for the selected code, but there may be times when you need to modify the load factors and add loadings. For example, temperature and shrinkage loadings are not included in the default load combinations.

The default load combinations for each code are described in detail in the relevant chapter:
