Good Afternoon All,
This is the second model I have run into this issue on. I am using member area loads (Parallel to A-B) to distribute a load one way to my floor beams which should then carry the loads to their girders, seems pretty straight forward.
But when I look at the transient loads...
Does RISA take something into consideration when calculating deflections that simple hand calcs do not? I've had other projects where hand checks have yielded similar results but I always chalked up the difference to 3D effects. But for my current project an issue caused me to run a beam simply...
I am trying to model a section of a retaining wall that is very close to an elevator pit and some steel columns in Risa 3D. I believe that my model is correct but the engineer I am doing this for is not sure about the Mxy result and more specifically adding it to Mxx and Myy for reinforcement...
I'm helping another engineer in my office on a cantilevered canopy and he says he wants the model to be as accurate as possible. The canopy is to have sloped, tapered HSS members. I know RISA only allows you to model tapered wide flange members as tapered and other members have to be tapered in...
