Dear fellow structural engineers,
I am a graduate engineer tasked with my first job ever of designing a G+1 by hand calculations only.
I have my basic understanding of analysing frames and members, however I need advise on the following;
i)Calculation of the centre of mass of the structure and...

I keep getting a moment of 22.6 KNM whereas using the prokon frame analysis module I keep getting around 32.
I analysed the frame without the sway correction as of yet, but I genuinely do not feel it would amount to such.
I have tried introducing points of...
Dear all,
I am trying to calculate the distribution of wind loads on a frame in an RC structure. I am yet to find a good guide on how to calculate this distribution by hand calculations. I have calculated the dynamic wind pressure using CP3 Chapter V (yes we are still using those in my country)...
