    envelope and concomitant forces

    I don't think it is possible but you might be missing something. Sometimes the maximum and corresponding values might not be of such importance: imagine a case in which you have a maximum value for one of the force/moment but the corresponding value of the other is small. There might be a case...

    seismic weight and base shear output in SAP?

    Not exactly. It means that you have a 110/2=55 mm overlapped space consisting of half of your slab and the upper part of your beam. It is no problem because such programs calculate the stiffness matrix for nodes and just sum up the slab and beam stiffness in coinciding nodes. Basically it won't...

    seismic weight and base shear output in SAP?

    It depends on your mass source combination (Define > Mass Source). You can make a new load combination with those coefficients, for example like 1.0(DL)+0.5(LL) - depends on the factors you've used for the masses, usually the live load is taken with a factor less than 1. Then you can easily view...

    Eurocode 2 concrete stress-strain curve in SAP2000

    Hi! I've noticed there is a difference between the predefined stress-strain curve in SAP2000 v16 for concrete (in Nonlinear Material Data) and the one specified by Eurocode 2. For instance the curve in SAP2000 has a maximum at the characteristic compressive cylinder strength while Eurocode 2...
