Loads

Selecting the Reports - Loads command will cause all unsized columns to be designed, and a Gravity Loads on Columns Report to be printed. The Gravity Loads on Columns Report lists the gravity loads on each level of each column in detail including dead load, each category of live load, live load reduction factors, maximum total load and minimum total load.

As indicated in the figure to the left, a compression load is taken to be positive.
