You can use a fea program to do the proper design, like SAFE. Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames, trusses, beams etc.

for steel or concrete? Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames, trusses, beams etc.

You have to always consider quake effects on the structures that you design. Common engineering judgement may be required if seismic loads are considered as not critical, for example when design a floor grillage. Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and...

Could you provide a sketch with dims? Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames, trusses, beams etc.

I would ignore their contribution to strength and account them only to provide a diaphragm to the perimeter columns. Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames, trusses, beams etc.

I am also aware of this issue and think that this is a bug of the program. Waiting for the input of other colleagues... Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames, trusses, beams etc.

Would you like to model three elements framing into a single joint? That's easy to do. Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames, trusses, beams etc.

The simplest soil-structure interaction type is to assign a soil modulus or a spring at the bottom elements of your model. Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames, trusses, beams etc.

Is the strcture deformed under the load pattern that participates in the Energy that you asked the graph for? Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames, trusses, beams etc.

am not sure if EN covers such cases. A generic book like Neufert's one would help. Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames, trusses, beams etc.

Ixx=Iyy for circular columns. Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames, trusses, beams etc.

Why not switching to thick-elements? SAFE supports that type of slabs as far as I remember... Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames, trusses, beams etc.

Yes you can use a cable element and apply uniform cable load in that in order to get its catenary deformation. The load is defined in the same form where cable geometry is configured. Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames...

Please check the design overwrites for each elemnt. Moreover you can disable seismic checks in order to have a clear look of the failure of the elements and then re-enable it. Structural Analysis of 2D Structures software Static, Dynamic,Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of frames, trusses, beams etc.

I think that the unbraced length of the column shall be adjusted, as you said, but priot this action you will have to decide if the column is sway or non-sway. Non-sway columns will have an ubraced length smaller than the actual one. On the other hand sway columns have greater unbraced length...
