Redundancy can be calculated according to either the UBC 1997 or the IBC 2000\2003. In RAM Frame the Criteria – Redundancy Factors command is used to select the UBC 1997 or IBC 2000\2003 option and specify the associated criteria items (see the following figure).

The redundancy factor for IBC 2006/ASCE7-05 is different from previous provisions of IBC. It is given either as 1.0 or 1.3. The program does not do any determination of the Redundancy factor, and it is input by the user as part of the Load Combination generators.
