    Dynamic Nonlinear Analysis (FNA) in ETABS

    Hello, I have 15 stories steel moment resisting frame exposed to Dynamic Nonlinear Analysis (FNA) in ETABS. When I defined Ritz modal, I have problem with the number of Ritz modes that I should define. Large differences in results have been obtained when I change the number of modes. In ASCE...

    Too close warnings

    Hello, when i export revit model to Etabs too close warnings appeared as shown in pictures. the warnings go away by dividing the beam at joints is this the logical solution ?

    Beams cracking torsion

    even beam is cracked why cracking torsion should be 0 ? if the beam works compatible, the code allowed to reduce Tu to Tcr so then if Tcr is zero should i design for full Tu even if it works compatible ??

    beams cracking torsion

    Hello, I want to ask about cracking torsion when the member subjected to high axial force like tempreture then the term under the square root will be minus, so then what is this mean ? can i ignore torsion or the cracking torsion will be zero ? in ETABS the program calculate Tcr zero, is this...

    slab temperature load

    Hello, I have a roof slab and i want to add temperature on it, so when i export it to SAFE, i define two load patern hot and cold but when i assign surface temperature load on it , i found top and bottom temp. on the other hand in ETABS there is one temp. that i include it My question what is...

    Design for walking excitation

    Hello, I have to reach the frequancy for large span slab more than 4HZ, but i misunderstand what are the loads that i should include them in time period and mass source definition. should the self weight only be included or self weight plus super imposed dead load and the sustained live load?

    flexural design moment discrepency

    Hello, when i opened the beam flexure envelope and comparing the moment with the moment diagram, i found a discrepency between the two values as pictures below what is the reason for increasing the moment in design?

    Property Modifiers

    Hello, I have an issue about Etabs property modifiers when I used the modifiers for all members, how these modifications will reflect on ETABS (what are the results will be changed exactly) if the design will change so when i export the slab to SAFE, the program made cracking analysis for...

    Abnormal condition has occurred

    this problem is always happened when you change story level, to avoid this problem next times change only one value then make ok to modify this value then open story level second and change other one value then ok and so on this massege appeared when you make more than one change and click ok.

    end length offsets

    when you use automatic length offset in beams for example, the software make the length from center of column to the edge rigid so the moment began at the face of column, but if you want to input the correct length offset you need to include the value user defined. if the software still dosent...

    how to module 2 slabs with small levels differences

    Hello everybody, I have 2 slabs with 0.5m level differences with beam connect the 2 slab (0.5m depth) what is the best way to module the two slabs I reach to different ways like: 1) drawing the 2 slabs in the same level with beam 0.5m depth. 2) drawing the 2 slabs in the actual levels and...

    Drop Panels In SAFE

    i expect that the differences between the 2 choice are in punching shear critical parameter calculation. Especially in 2nd parameter for drop panel.
