    Precast core wall T joint and L joint detailing

    Hi There, I'm looking for some typical details around a precast panel joint Detailing for my precast core walls used for lateral resisting system. I intend to use a wet/insitu joint approach. Does anyone have some typical details of what this looks like? I've seen some off google, but I...

    AS3600 / AS1170.4 Connection Overstrength?

    Hi There, I was having a read of AS3600 and AS1170.4 and can't seem to find any reference to overstrength specifically for connections. e.g Precast panel designed to mu=2, sp=0.77 and designing the stitch plate connections. What is the industry general go here in Australia and accepted by the...

    Modelling Flat plate ETABS as lateral load resisting system with Columns

    Hi There, I intend to make use of a flat plate slab (approx 300mm thk) on ETABS so that I can use this as portal frames with my columns to resist lateral loads. (Note not the conventional beam and column system unfortunately). If I were to model this on ETABS what would be the best way to do...

    ETABS Earthquake Core wall Transferring causing very unexpected shear distribution

    Thanks all! I've now also modelled the columns in but not sure what the best way to model them as pin with (partial fixity?) As if we model out of plane stiffness of slab this results in slab coupling which will be hard to achieve and not really intended. The way I think to get around it is...

    ETABS Earthquake Core wall Transferring causing very unexpected shear distribution

    Thanks for the explanation! So i'm thinking the appropriate modelling methodology be to use a rotational spring and vertical spring at the base of the wall? I feel this has to be very accurate otherwise im taking too much load away from core Thanks

    ETABS Earthquake Core wall Transferring causing very unexpected shear distribution

    Hi team! Thats correct the core walls "Transfer" out at Ground level and level 1. They don't extend to the base. I would expect typical story shear steps all the way down and a cantilevered wall moment distirbution plot. There shouldn't be any shear reversal up the building other than central...

    ETABS Earthquake Core wall Transferring causing very unexpected shear distribution

    Hi there, I have a simple multistory building with a basement. There are a few transfer floors that need to transfer out columns and shear walls. The system is a two way slab supporting core walls and various other shear walls. I've taken my gravity loading from another program and then applied...
