    concrete beam torional restraint

    Hello. i am currently design a massive 100/100cm beam monolitic connected by the top part to a 30 cm thick slab. The beam experince certain torsion, But it is being restrained by the concrete slab which is capable of taking the torsion as concentrated moment at the edge. My question: does...

    slab offset effect on FEM model

    thanks for the detailed reply. i actually used a 2d model without columns and just now noticed that the eccentricity give rise to horizontal reactions at the supports (vertical loads applied only). sound kind of backward [ponder] as far as i can think the boundary condition should be similar...

    slab offset effect on FEM model

    Hello from abroad. I am currently working on a concrete slab with elevation gaps and changing thickness. when using plate elements .i have noticed that changing the offset of the slab (even thou the thin slab is still fully fixed within the thick slab) yields different moment results(by 15%...
