Hi, I am designing footings for columns in a building. The slabs are 200mm think one way. I am just wondering which one is the correct way to model slabs, one way membrane or thin shell with 0 M22 (90 degree on Local axis 2). I got two very different results from these two and don't know which...
Hi all, I am designing a multi-storey buidling which has a transfer slab on the frist floor. Because of this transfer slab, the walls above 1F cannot work as shear wall as they dont go all the way to the ground.(Please correct me if I am wrong). So the only walls I can rely on are the core...
Hi Guys, I am just wondering how you guys deal with strip footing on boundary. The project I am working on now is a 3 storey building. Allowable bearing capacity is 100kPa for 100mm into silty clay and 250kPa for 600mm into silty clay.
As the external walls are adjoining to the boundary so there...
Hi,
I have a few questions regarding modelling in FEM software.
Let's say I have a tranfer slab which is gonna support the walls above. So I have modelled it in two different ways like below.
The first one is using multi shells around the columns below and walls above. The second one, on the...
