To generate a gravity column loads report

To generate a report of all gravity column loads to assist in gravity column design for the structure in a separate program, use the following procedure.

Before this report can be generated, the framing tables must be "built". Do this by invoking any one of the design modules.

This report is useful to those who will be designing gravity columns by means other than the RAM Steel Column Design module and is not normally needed by those who will be using RAM Steel Column Design

The data in the Loads on Gravity Columns Report is organized by column line. A summary of the gravity loads at each story level within a column line is provided.

The Gravity Loads on Columns Report lists all gravity loads on all columns to assist you in designing the Columns, Base Plates and Foundations in the structural model. It is provided primarily for those who do not own the RAM Steel Column Design module.

The Gravity Loads on Columns Report is organized by column line. A summary of the gravity loads at each story level within a column line is provided.

Either:

select Post-Processing > Column Loads

or
select the Column Loads tool

The report is generated in the current target.
For Screen reports:
1. (Optional) Select the Print tool to print the report.
2. Select the Close Preview tool to close the report.

This output provides a listing of the loads on every gravity column in the structure. The output includes:

The column line.
The dead load on the column. This includes the self weight if the column has been designed in the RAM Steel Column Design module and the option to include column self-weight has been selected.
The unreduced positive and negative live loads on the column. The reduction type for the live load and the allowable reduction percent based on the currently selected building code is also provided.
The total dead plus reduced positive live load and total dead plus negative live load.

All column loads listed in this report are unfactored loads.
