RAM Concept Help

Viewing deflections

You may be interested in a number of different deflection plans. Usually these are for vertical deflection but RAM Concept does calculate lateral deflections and hence these are viewable.

All deflection intensity and contour plots use uncracked section (Igross) results and do not consider cracking (unless the load factors have been increased for this purpose).

Note: Intensity and contour plots are accessed via the plot "Slab" tab.

Deflection results that do consider cracking are available via plots that use the Section Analysis tab and L.T. Deflection plot.

Note: You could change these plans with the plot setting such that the plot is no longer consistent with the plan name. As such, changing the plot is discouraged.

See Chapter 65, "Load History Deflections" for more information.

Note: "Slab" (identified by the plot tab) deflection plots are available for loadings and load combinations. "Section Analysis" (identified by the plot tab) deflection plots are available for rule sets.
