Good morning team,
Quick question - When exporting wind and seismic loads from ETABS into SAFE, along with the vertical reactions, imported nodes also have horizontal (base shear) reactions attached to them.
My question is:
1)Do these horizontal (in-plane) applied forces affect the slab...
Good morning,
I'm having an interesting issue with ETABS 2013
I have a concrete high rise structure with an interior core wall and perimeter mega-columns. These mega-columns are being engaged in the lateral system by a typical outrigger system (3 outriggers equally spaced up the tower).
For...
Afternoon all,
As you probably know, SAFE will check "punching shear" for spring supports, which we would use to model piles. I was curious how it could possibly check punching shear for these elements since they are not assigned a length or width, which one would need to calculate a critical...
Afternoon,
I've recently been involved in a few pile cap shear strength discussions and was wondering if anyone here had any additional insight on the topic.
Basically, I have a pile cap that qualifies as a "deep beam" per ACI 318-08 section 15.5.3 (specifically, it qualifies as the case...
