Dear RAM team,
From the linear analysis we get a predicted crack width (for the relevant load combination) based on the code formulation. And one of the things RAM does is to reinforce according to the code to keep that crack width.
When we run the Load History processor it develops a material nonlinear analysis where it iteratively cracks the slab until convergence is reached. Do we have access to the information about that real cracks against those predicted in the linear analysis?
-------------
Another question. We want to assess the crack width generated by shrinkage and temperature change. Is there a way to obtain it with RAM similar to CIRIA C660 guidelines?
Thanks, you are the best.
