Forces for column do not match with analysis

RCDC reads the forces only for Primary load cases. These will match with the analysis forces. The forces for combinations are computed within RCDC as per load factors and other conditions like (LLR) Live load reduction. If the conditions of LLR are matched in analysis and RCDC, the design forces will match. For foundation design, RCDC uses member forces and not support reactions. In case of rotated columns or columns with offset, the support reactions do not match with member forces.
