I have this 4m x 10m tall wall modelled in ETABS with 4 end nodes restrained and 1kPa area load applied at out-of-plane direction.
I was expecting the the bending moment at mid-span to be around 1*10^2/8 = 12.5kNm/m. However when I went to Moment 22 for piers it shows nearly 0 and M11 for shell...
Does anyone know how to calculate the load distributed to the perimeter beams that form a closed polygon of any shape not just rectangular?
Any textbooks recommend? (I tried to search but no luck so far)
I read the support documents from RISA 3D and looks like they use finite meshes but I...
Hi fellows,
I have this 3.8m cantilever canopy to design. I am going to use 150SHS @ 1m spacing by using the fix connection to slab. There is 60 set down.
I am proposing the following connection to do the moment connection work. The design moment is 7.5kNm per SHS. Then I am assuming the level...
Does anyone know why the eccentricity is taken as joint plus plate width when checking the rebar capacity in PCI handbook wall-wall shear connection example?
Shouldn't e be joint only?
