Need help to determining which component should be defined as deformation or force controlled for linear procedure. Should I simulate every section to see the load-deformation diagram or there is a rule of thumb?
Thank you, kindly
Modelling ASCE 41-17 based nonlinear moment frame structure incorporating 5 meter wide shear wall in ETABS, but shear wall plastic hinge only available in frame assignment. Do I need to model the wall as frame? If so, should I use single wide column or multiple slender column?
Yellow is shear...
Hi, everyone
I'am currently modelling a 20 story apartment building (see image). But I notice that the modal mass participating ratio is already 90% at 12th mode shape. Is this reasonable? (I'am a student so my engineering sense isn't there yet)
