For each footing, this report is used to display the loads on the footing's supported members for all load case in the model. If there is no Dead or Live loads in the model, they are automatically added to the model when opened in RAM Foundation. This is to provide load factors for the Dead and Live surcharge loads. (The automatically created dead and live loads will only be used in the RAM Foundation module. They will not be active or used in any other module.)

All forces and moments are reported in relation to the footing's major and minor direction. So when checking Foundation Load reports against RAM Frame and RAM Manager reports, it is important that the forces are compared using a consistent coordinate system.

Torsion is not used in the RAM Foundation module and so it is not reported.
