The interpretations I’ve assumed for seismic design is that ALL structural weight is to be considered for seismic design, namely Base shear. What I struggle to grasp is the effect gravity loads that are being supported on the foundation only (ie. Masonry walls spanning from u/s of 2nd floor to...
First project in SAFE 21 since its newest release. I'm already having problems with items that used to be super simple.
I'm trying to model a portion of the slab that has a vertical offset of 1500mm from the main slab. The main slab has balconies cantilevered off it with the offset slab...
I'm modelling a 6 Storey concrete structure in ETABS. Since the loading requirements are fairly unbalanced and variable, I've introduced numerous 'none' slab properties to apply these variable loads. It appears as though these none properties have caused issued with the model run as I get error...
I have a 2 storey steel office building in a high seismic zone. I’d like to model it in ETABS to analyze for the seismic loads. I’m running into issues with the model after applying gravity loads only.
The basis of the structure is as such:
- fairly rectilinear
- HSS columns (potential to...
