Hi,
I`m using SAP-17 to build a bridge model. I don`t have the bridge modeler license, so making the bridge from scratch in sap2000.
The bridge is a steel girder bridge with concrete deck (composite system). However between the stiffeners in transverse direction there are lateral bracings...
First Q:
I believe you need to define a separate spring for each level of soil with different stiffness at each level.
Second Q:
To show your moving load, I believe you can look at your vehicle load, and how you have defined that.
The loading doesn't show on your model as it's a moving load...
Hi,
I'm modelling an LNG platform. The model is pretty straight forward, a concrete deck, supported on steel piles, with nonlinear soil springs.
I need to model the loading arms and other equipments on the deck to look at the seismic behavior of the structural with the additional mass on its...
I am trying to model a steel deck attached to a steel frame in SAP2000. This model is supposed to model a roof system. Instead of the bolts used in the actual test, I am using non-linear plastic links to attach the top surface to the frame.
In the actual test, I have cyclic loading with max...
