Hi all!
Well, I have a question:
In some computer programs (SAP, ETABS, RCBE...) the rigid zone factor is set ti 0 (zero) by default. But, when I use this factor as 1 (one) the drifts of the building goes up and the steel reinforcement also goes up a little. Can any one tell me whic factor...
If I'm designing an Anchored Concrete Wall, how can I know if I should use active anchors or pasive anchors?
Is there any program to do this kind of design?
Thanks a lot,
Odco

the nodes of the buildings.
