Hi all,
Typically, if we had a reinforced concrete beam spanning between two RC columns, cast monolithic, we could treat the beam as fixed-fixed and provide mid-span bottom reinforcement and top reinforcement near the supports.
However, if we decide to design the beam conservatively as simply...
Hi all,
I'm working through an example of distribution lateral load into shear walls depending on their relative displacement. The example is from Reynold's Concrete Design Handbook, but I am struggling to understand the derivation behind an equation they are using to calculate the amount of...
Hi,
I'm performing a pushover analysis and I want to assign hinges to the frame that represent reduced beam sections, based upon a bi-linear moment-rotation curve I have, giving a yield moment/rotation and ultimate moment/rotation.
I create a user defined hinge based on pure moment M3, but I...
