TO my dear colleagues,
I want to prepare manual of modeling analysis.
1-design code is ACI.
2-Load code is ASCE and IBC.
does any body have manual like that which can help me.
Autocad Structural Detailing
is used to produce shop drawings to show the detailing of the reinforcement with its type , shapes ,lengths.it can also draw the bars easily as a double lines to present its width to facilitate clash detecting between bars.
Civil 3D
I think,but i did not use...
I had an existing model version 9.7.4 and I had opened it by Etabs 2013 (exactly the same model),and I noted that Etabs 2013 does not has IBC2006 in the definition of either response spectrum function or load pattern.After analyzing the model by Etabs 2013,the base shear gained from response...
code provide minimum depth of elements such as slabs,beams according to its span to avoid excessive deflection.
column, you can estimate load of column by area method without analysis and substitute in a very simple equation by loads and assuming reinforcement ratio,then you can get concrete area.
