Thanks all for the reply.
In my case, this is a transfer slab with horizontal construction joint, so I would say that the normal force will mostly be the self weight of the full-section transfer slab. That means most of the time the external force would be in compression, and the only tension...
Hi everyone,
I'm stuck at calculating the design shear resistance for concrete interface cast at different times. From Eurocode 2 Clause 6.2.5(1) Equation 6.25, there is contribution from the 'external normal force across the interface'.
My senior opined that this value is equivalent to the...
Hi everyone,
I am facing a problem in extracting total axial shortening results from Etabs. I have plotted the total shortening for one of the vertical members by extracting the Uz value from joint displacement table in Etabs (Graph on the right).
The graph on the left is plotted by a...
