Dear All,
Thanks for your answers. They make me understand clearly about load combination.
I wish that we can discuss more in future.
With very best wishes,

Dear all,
I am analyzing building by ETABS software. In seismic analysis, I am using UBC curve for spectral response analysis (SRA).
as far as I know with SRA: Generally, Seisemic Force F = m*Sd(T)*f where: m: mass; S: spectral function; f: factor;
I have ever used EUROCODE, in this code...
Thanks DaveAtkins!
Your counsel are highly appreciated.
One more question:
I found in IBC that "when having more than two or more transient load act simultaneously with the dead load,IBC 1605.3.1.1 permit a 25% transient load reduction-> have factor = 0.75 in these cases. And I found the same...
Hi All,
I am working in project designed by ACI.
With members of the body structural part( slab, beam, column) I used combination with factored load (these combination are shown detailly in ACI).
to calculate the numbers of pile, I want to use allowable stress design (in which Force at top of...
As far as I know, there are some soft wares good at analyzing general concrete structures (ETABS, SAP, SAFE...). And it is important that each software is adapted with each structure.
I am quite familiar with ETABS, SAP and SAFE so I have some suggestions for you:
1) SAP: Good at analyzing...
The boss want me to design shear wall. The firsr time for me, so I would like to be consultancy.
I am reading manual of Etabs I found the condition:
Pu<0.35P0;
Manual says: if Pu>0.35P0, -> not check for shear wall;
I have looked for some original standards and original document but I could...
I am reading manual of Etabs for designing SHEAR WALL of building and I am finding the condition: Pu<0.35P0;
Manual says: if Pu>0.35P0, -> not check for shear wall;
I have reading ACI standard but I could nt find the provision as above previous;
I would like to be consultan above this...
