Sorry for the late reply,
I have been working to get the correct results. After much review of the model I am fairly confident that the model is behaving correctly. I can now be more specific for my issue.
1. When I generate results output with wind or seismic and I total up the story shears...
Is a response function required? I was under the impression that I could simply define static load cases and have it use a base shear. Is this incorrect? I'm new to the program, and don't remember seeing that in the tutorials.
There should not be any other components taking shear in my design...
Hello all,
I am working on an 8 story building with 4 levels of parkade, and trying to determine seismic forces in core elements using etabs. I am new to etabs, and I have gone through the tutorials but still cannot find my answer. There are 3 cores, 2 are C-shaped, 1 is a box.
I build the...
