Under lateral seismic, I am developing very large shears and moments in short beams (about 1 meter length) connecting shearwalls and the framing system. My lateral force system is only shearwalls, so the framing system is designed for...
Can anyone help me with an easy method for determining the inter-storey drift from an ANSYS Spectrum analysis. PRNSOL only gives the nodal displacements not inter-storey drifts. Storey drifts cannot just be calculated by subtracting the final nodal displacements which have been evaluated by...
