RAM Concrete Gravity Analysis Reports
RAM Concrete Gravity output is designed to provide the engineer with all necessary data for the review of calculations for the generation of the column and beam gravity forces. The reports also provide some information that can be used to independently verify the results obtained in the analysis. The engineer is encouraged to print out sample reports to refer to when reading this section of the manual.
Below is a summary of the reports available in the RAM Concrete Gravity Analysis mode. A more complete explanation of RAM Concrete Gravity Analysis output follows.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Model Data | Generates a list of all concrete lateral and gravity members and story data. |
| Member Analysis Properties | Generates a report of cross-sectional dimensions of all concrete beams and columns and calculated values for all members regarding their section properties such as area, major and minor axis moment of inertia, and torsional stiffness constant. |
| Vertical Reactions | Generates a report for sum of vertical reactions for each story. The vertical reactions are calculated for all the applied load cases. |
| Analysis Criteria | Generates a report showing parameters defined in the Analysis Criteria Dialog and parameters assigned to individual members. |
| Beam Load Diagram | Generates a report of applied and distributed loads on concrete beams. |
| Beam Line Force Envelope | Generates a report of dead load and live load envelope forces at quarter points for all beams that have the same beam line number. |
| Beam Deflections | Deflection values for all beam line beams for Dead and Live load (upward and downward maximum per skip loading). |
| Column Forces | Generates a report of dead load and skip loaded concrete column forces. |
| Concept Column Forces | If RAM Concept Column Forces are integrated into the Concrete Analysis a report of the Concept produced column forces is available. The report is not cumulative and only contains the column forces exactly as they were exported from RAM Concept. |
| Wall Forces | Generates a report of wall dead and live forces as calculated in RAM Concrete |
| Concept Wall Forces | If RAM Concept Wall Forces are integrated into the Concrete Analysis a report of the Concept exported wall forces is available. The report is not cumulative and only contains the wall forces exactly as they were exported from RAM Concept. |
