Greetings,
I usually use Ram concept for post tension slab design . However , I tried to make a verification model by creating same model in ETABS and check results.
Tendon forces are calculated the same in both Ram and Etabs . I made same identical design strip layout in Ram and Etabs . but...
Is there any prestressed (post tension software program that supports APIs) . Unfortunately , Ram concept doesn't support API same also for ADAPT apparently . Do you have any idea of such a software program that does design for post tension slabs and supports APIs ?
I want to use max/avg story displacement thatis shown in display tables and if it is more than 1.2 for response specturm case . I change the diaphram eccentricity for each floor by Ax valye * length of dipaghram perendicular to direction of force .
I am tackling this issue by using database...
I am trying to change the scale factor of response spectrum to be 100 % of base reactions of equavlient static in both x& y direction using APIs in Python
I managed to extract base reaction from spec and equavlient static in both directions . I am stuck in getting scale factor already in...
I am starting to use ETABS API with Python . I need to extract concrete quantites volume for frames elements (beams&columns). I believe I need to access to area of of all concrete elements and multiply by length or height ? I am not sure how to start with that in API . can somebody help or...
