I would like to know what you guys think of the book « Stability Design of Semi-Rigid Frames » by W.F. Chen, is it an useful reference ?

Thanks ! Already some pretty good answers, the older topics contains good ideas. Also, I want to add "Mechanics of Materials" by Popov.

Hi everyone ! I think it could be beneficial to do a good list of the bests books availables out there for structural engineers. This is a list of the " classical" books that I own : "Theory of Structures" by Timoshenko "Theory of Elasticity" by Timoshenko "Hydraulic Structures" by Smith...

Thank you for your answers, I solved the problem by adding line loads at the perimeter of the model to take into account the mass of the masonry walls. Then, I applied the following properties modificators : Membrane f11 Direction = 1 Membrane f22 Direction = 1 Membrane f12 Direction = 0.00001...

Hi, I’m working on the seismic analysis of a load-bearing masonry wall building with ETABS. How can I keep the masonry walls that provide the vertical support of the beams as vertical shell elements, while still do a proper analysis ? If I don’t use any trick the first vibration mode will be...
