Ron:
I had tried to do change the support from the pinned to fix but no significant success. I was able to meet the Owners requirements by adding C-Channel bracings in few walls .The frame is 80' wide and 3 spans only.
SnadwichEngineer :
I highly appreciate your detail message .I wanted to...
Dold : The software joint displacement value exceeds the limits of H/400 but the are within the 0.02H limit. Also please confirm my understanding that the etab software will not going to have any limits for lateral deflection/displacement?
The thing is that software does shows utility ratios...
The building is SDC A.
The issue is , I am uncertain about the values I am getting from Etabs .There are joint displacement values which are confusing if they can be used to check the serviceability or not.
Let me rephrase my initial question in detail.
The software shows joint displacements...
With Structural Engineer I mean a friend who is also a Structure Engineer with more experience .
I had told him the same thing that drift is related to Seismic whereas my structure is govern by Wind loads.
I have PEMB designed as Ordinary Moment Frame.
But still the question is does joint...
PhamENG,
I spoke to one of structure Engineer and he told me same thing that you are pointing at.
The software has provided the max drifts and avg drift value for each loads case and I am comparing them with the allowable story drift given in Table 12.12-1 of ASCE 7- 16 .This allow me to have...
First of all I want to thank all of you for your valuable inputs.
I want to clarify that I am working for the PEMB fabricator and material will be purchased by the Owner. Therefore this is not just for quoting purpose but instead its a done deal .
I have tried to explain the Owner that for...
Good Morning,
I am designing the Pre Engineered Metal Building. I am using a Etabs 2016 to perform the design.
I have noticed that the displacements value I am getting are too high with respect to L/360,L/400 requirements.(Owner require the exterior walls to have deflection limits of L/360) I...
