Hi all,
Anybody can help me get started with finite element analysis? Any reference material, books, and threads which might be helpful for me to understand better the theory of FEA is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi sdz,
I am using ULS. But if I am going to use 20+ year return period, is this practical, because in 2-years time the structure will no longer be in service.
Do you have any reference for this conversion in Middle East Area using British Standards. I am using BS6399 for the Wind Load...
Thanks for your reply.
This is a structure which will only be in service for 2 years maximum. However, I am also concerned with what proper reference to use since I am using BS6399 for the wind load calculation. Do you think using ASCE reference to a BS-based calculation will be acceptable? I...
Can anybody help me how to convert 3s gust basic wind speed at 50 year return period to 2year return period. I am considering 2 year return period since the structure is temporary to be removed after 2 years (max).
