Special handling of the Self-Dead Loading and the Balance Loading during export
RAM Concept adds the "Self-Dead Loading" reactions to the "Dead Load" reactions during export. This ensures that the RAM Concrete Analysis of the structure considers the self-weight of the slab.
RAM Concept does not currently export "Transfer" loading reactions to RSS. When analyzing a building with a transfer slab, RSS uses its own internal distribution of the transfer forces in the slab rather than forces from RAM Concept 's floor analysis. RAM Concept ’s exported "Direct" loading reactions will be used by RSS, if you so direct. See "Using RAM Concept reactions in RAM Concrete" for further information.
RAM Concept exports the balance loading reactions to a "hyperstatic" load case that is only visible in RAM Concrete. Generally, balance forces and hyperstatic forces are not the same, but for a support that contains no tendons, however, the balance forces are equal to the hyperstatic forces.
