Thanks for the responses.
i used to design industrial building with either flexible cladding with side rail purlins or rigid cladding (horizontal precast concrete panels), in which wind action is taken by the columns.
you all have respond me about rigid claddind such as brick, vertical precast...
Hi, i have just started in structural design.
My doubts consist in:
1. where do i aply lateral forces (wind) in multistorey buildings,in outter columns or directly in the resistant elements (such as shear-wall, St. Andrew´s cross, etc.)due to the floor rigid diaphragm?
2. In portal frames with...
Hi, i am a new user in sap2000 from Spain.
There are several question i´d like someone to answer me.
1. how sap2000 does the distribution of horizontal forces (wind and seismic) according to the rigidity?
2. when you define the properties of the center of mass (X and Y directions and rotational...
