HI dears ;
AS far as I know about meshing for shells there are rules governing meshing or drawing areas:
a. Shall connect the corner of area to columns or shear walls otherwise incompatibility problem will arise.
b. Shall not have a distorted shape( internal angles between 45 and 135).
c. Shall...
Dear KootK (Structural);
Thanks a lot for your response. I have to add something that analytically there is a defference that for spandrels we have m11=m22=m12=f22=f12=0.35 but for pier m11=m22=m12=f11=f12=0.70 .
My question appear obviuosly if you see the attached picture.
Best regards and...
Dears;
I am appreciating your acknowledgment
Also I would like to thank you for your interests to teach people.
I have a quesion about:
1. I have a shear wall so when I consider the shell element as spandrel and when it behaves like a pier?
2. What is the difference in behaviour between them, I...
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INTEREST.
I AM ATTACHING TO YOU A PICTURE FOR WHAT I MEAN.

An urgent question that I have to design for a deisel tank, it's base. the tank is 12.5 m* 2.80 m *2.4 m and it has three steel legs to be put on. The legs are 2.80 m * 0.50 m * 0.50 m. Shall I consider the load of the tank to be distributed on the three legs then put this load on the...

An important issue that because SAFE is Finite element Program, the values of shear & Moment when averaged to small width the result will be larger than when averaging to large widths. The problem for me: What width shall be used for Vu calculation or Mu ...especially when staggered...
