good day!
In modelling a space frame structure for building, where there are intermediate nodes due to secondary members on the main members, do these create wrong distribution of lateral forces when using UBC for the analysis of the super structure? suggestions?
thanks

In the design of highrise concrete buildings where the lower level columns have bigger fc' than the top level columns, how do i specify the properties to staad? is it possible to compute for the Ec=4700(fc')^.5 and substitute it that column? or do i have to convert the column section...
good day,
Where is the proper elevation of support for space frame building structure when ubc is being considered in the analysis? Is it the ground level or foundation elevation itself?
thanks!!!
Staad manual states that element design will be performed only for the moments Mx & My at the center of the element & will not be performed for Fx,Fy,Fxy,Qx,Qy or Mxy.
Is it enough to design a shearwall based n Mx and My w/o considering Fx or Fy? or are shearwalls designed separately?
I'm using...
Good Day!
How could I model a Shear/Bearing wall on a Conc. Building Structure to resist its intended function? Should I model it as a Column? I tried to model it as plate element but I got no design results.
I see it time consuming on modelling my structure to arrive at the right 3d geometry. Could you pls. suggest other software programs that maybe of help which could be interlinked to staad .staad accepts DXF files. I use autocad but i got the wrong orientations.
