Hi everyone,
Recently, I’ve been designing a lot of ribbed slabs and have a question about the calculation of transverse reinforcement for resisting longitudinal shear between the web and the flange of T-beams.
The general approach for this is clear: we use the strut-and-tie model, where...
Hi everyone,
Currently, I am using RAPT for designing beams and slabs.
When inputting span moment diagrams, I have noticed that RAPT automatically calculates corresponding shear diagrams.
However, I have observed that the sign of shear forces is provided in a reversed manner, as indicated in...
Hi everyone.
I am writing to seek your opinions on the application of pattern live loading for serviceability checks of floor systems. I am using Eurocode and ACI for designing floor systems.
According to EC2 Section 5.1.3, pattern live loading is required for the design of slabs and beams...
Hi everyone,
Currently, I am using RAPT for designing beams and slabs.
I see that RAPT only allows moment redistribution for braced frames.
I think this restriction is made to prevent the redistribution of moments due to lateral loads, which can lead to the lateral instability of the frames...
