when you are to face with a device inside the structure, what is ur suggestion? suppose that you have to analyse and design an irregular structure (in plan, along the height) and you have to use time history analysis, how you will consider the period gap between codes and your model? thank you...
Hi dear zaher, jae
I appreciate your discussion about period estimation. I think that you have to modify the analysis based period regarding nonstructural effects. This will affect design forces directly.
Ok! but for design of structures with energy dissipator devices, like friction dampers...
hello
i would like to know about push over analysis through sap2000, I knew push over as a method to estimate the overstrength of structure and also a mean to refine the R factor. How sap2000 will help us to have an estimation of overstrength? i would like to have an overview on this matter...
when working with non ductile structural systems with low range of R factors, you dont need to use special detaillings for ductile structures. So you have to be aware of applicability of detaillings and requirements you work with.
In the case of a steel structure (30 stories) with a concrete core in the middle how can we consider the creep effect of central core on the structure?
