Thank you all guys for your reply.
The problem is that I haven't assumed a safety factor but I have derived it.
I have designed a shear wall made of reinforced concrete and I had to check if a particular point in the wall is going to fail. I was given the yield stress of the material (100...
Hi,
I've calculated the safety factor for the Von Mises Yield Criterion compared to the yield strength of the material. I got a safety factor of 1.075 which is very close to 1. I know that the material is about to fail.
However, is there a range of values that the safety factor can have...
Hi,
I have modeled a shear wall in SAP2000 (9 m height and 12 m length - x & y directions). I have treated the wall as a plate element. The wall is 0.4 thick in z direction and a non-uniformly distributed horizontal load (wind) is applied to one side of the wall (y & z direction). Usually the...
