RE: RAM Concept Load History Deflections
When the Load history deflection predicts significantly larger deflection than a standard combinations times the creep factor, it's usually a matter of cracking. I use the Service Design - ECR plots to...

RAM Concept Load History Deflections
We are currently working on a RC garage model (11” slab thickness, max span ≈34’). We are noticing that our load history deflections are much larger than we are expecting.When we run load history...
