When RAM Concept combines loadings into load combinations, it considers the live load reduction of each loading added to the load combination. The analysis results that RAM Concept displays for load combinations are always reduced by live load reduction.

Similarly when RAM Concept envelopes load combinations into Rule Sets, it considers live load reduction as all of the load combinations being enveloped have already been modified by the reduction factors. The analysis results that RAM Concept displays for rule sets are always reduced by live load reduction.
