Yeah it is on beams but I am concerning about the beam-type shear as well because I am getting large shear near the beam-beam & beam-wall intersection.
I am getting higher shear at support location for my slab. (150kN/m+)
If I set my design strip narrow enough, say 0.5m only then it will require slab shear reinforcement. Do we still use the same design strip width (6m) for shear check? Can we reply the slab to average the shear like how we did...
I have a few questions in regards to basement wall modeling that would like to hear your thoughts.
Info: 3 basements. capping beams + piers and shotcrete walls in between.
1. I want to have shotcrete walls in my model to consider their contribution of stiffness for lateral loads. But at the...
Many thanks.
Yes you are right. I made a mistake by comparing a two-way slab in my model with hand calculation for one way. There is no latitude beams. So I should change M22 stiffness to near 0 to simulate a one-way slab behavior if I want to compare to hand calculation for one way slab.
I am not saying the results from FEM is wrong.
My point here is do you use 3D FEM for regular slab design like this? Because I believe the majority doesn't. And I don't think we increase reinforcement in this areas as well based on the conventional calculation we use.
So is it necessary to...
I am using FEM to verify my hand calc of the slab as shown below. a 800 deep beam has been adapted to span from one wall to another.
With hand calc for slab, I will simply treat the beam & walls as the same - supports.
With FEM, I am getting a lot higher moment at wall ends and extensive...
