    SAP2000 Nonlinear Analysis Setup for Steel Design: Notial loads

    I’m using SAP2000 v26 to design steel structures based on AISC 360-10, and I'm configuring a nonlinear analysis for the structure. I use the Direct Analysis Method and apply a process where each load case starts with the structure deformed under dead load (state D). Additionally, I adopt K=1 for...

    What code or book should i use to calculate the design capacity of this particular composite slab?

    The beams are existing ones (as a show on the last photo), then i should pour concrete from above This is not the final design, maybe it will have also rebars on the button between beams

    None section property shell fail to transfer loads in ETABS 20.3

    Im creating a None section property shell to facilitate load distribution in beams but it does nothing, any idea why it could be happening? I want to apply lateral wind loads to a structure without using ETABS function to do it. Just wanna do it manually. (i have a code wich its not...

    Is it worth to start from zero to learn Rhinos just to export a model to Sap2000

    I have to calculate and design the reinforcement of a concrete shell structure like this one: So i was advice to use Rhinos for making a mesh surface and then analyze it in Sap2000 (even though i do prefer Staad.Pro i can get my hands to work on Sap2000). I'm worried to get into a rabbit...

    Why ETABS doesn't consider the 1.33*As rule when designing beams? (longitudinal reinforcement)

    Hello people, As you can see most of the values given for the concrete beam design (longitudinal reinforcement) are from minimun reinforcement But if you see the forces and beam design display, it shouldn't be like that Then again, you look for design details and there it is, mininum...

    connection between steel column and concrete slab and beam system?

    Hello to all, This is the analysis of the connection between metal columns (2x U channel filled with concrete) with concrete slab and inverted beams in a one-storey house. The problem is that I have little space to carry out any gadgets in the slab interspace, as you can see in the attached...
