Selecting the Reports > Wall Forces > Single command will change the cursor from an arrow cursor to a target cursor. Select the wall for which to generate output by clicking on a wall. A Wall Forces Report will be generated for the selected column.

Selecting the Reports > Wall Forces > Fence command will change the cursor from an arrow cursor to a fence cursor. Select multiple walls for which to generate output by fencing an area of the model. A Wall Forces Report will be generated for all walls within the fenced area.

Selecting the Reports > Wall Forces > All command will generate a Wall Forces Report for all walls in the model.

This report shows the dead, live and roof live load wall forces for the selected concrete walls. No live load reduction is applied to wall live loads. The forces in the wall are accumulated from each level above and can be used for foundation design in RAM Foundation. Due to the nature of the Concrete Gravity Analysis, where the columns and walls are braced above and below the level being analyzed, the wall shears and moments do not consider the lateral translation that can occur in a full 3D model. As such, only the wall axial force is considered when designing foundations under gravity walls using the RAM Concrete Analysis results in RAM Foundation.

Refer to the Wall Technical Section for more information on sign convention and analytical considerations. Wall forces can also be displayed on the screen for each stories analysis. Select the Process - Results - Member Forces command following a successful analysis to observe the wall forces.
