Hi,
Say I have 2-span band beams with same width and 1 layer of top reinforcement, 1st span is 15 bars while the other has only 10. Isn’t lapping of the top bars an issue?
I have this building that has two levels of basement and I want to assume the base is on the ground floor.
What I have done in my model is I include these basement walls in my model and at the same time I assign point restraint UX UY to four corner joints of my ground floor slab (shell element)...
I know how to analyze when resultant force is outside of middle third in one direction. But how do you analysis when the load is eccentric in both direction and at least one of them is outside of middle third? I tried to use software called TEDDS and it says it fails once it is eccentric in both...
