Hi,
I am modelling a concrete building in RAM and have a question on reactions getting from RAM frame and Ram Concrete analysis.
Reactions from RAM frame does not match with reactions from ram concrete analysis. For a box model with 2 span continuous beams, the load distribution on the center column is more than the 2 corner columns which appears to be correct in RAM concrete analysis. But in Ram frame analysis the reaction on the center column is less than 2 corner columns.
Also, the foundation load summary gives the reactions from ram frame with less reaction on center column.
Can you please let me know why I am getting this difference, especially for live loads? I appreciate your help!! Please see below snips
