Thanks JAE. Perhaps we missed that section. i'll look into it.
F=ma requires some assumptions ofcause. One can make them, and aim for the values that by experience should be designed for.
For information Eurocode also consideres an energy approach with F=0.5mv^2/d, where d is the deformation...
Hello,
A parking garage designed to ASCE 7 and concrete to ACI 318, needs consideration for vehicles impacting the columns and other structures within the parking facility. Is there prescribed load values, or is one expected to take an approach of applying F=ma, assuming maximum mass and...
Hi all,
I'm having trouble finding instructions on how to combine multidirectional wind loads according to EC.
I have my windx and windy (wind in main directions x and y of my building). But in my sense of logic these should be combined with 1.0*windx+0.6*windy or similar. However i can't find...
Using CSIxRevit you can import your model in .exr extension into Revit Structure.
My experience is however that some elements, especially meshed area objects, may be exported/imported wrongfully.
After import you can use the model in Revit for whatever functions you wish.

Hello,
I usually use Holmes' Wind Loading of Structures Appendix D. Here an overview of wind conditions in diffrent countries is listed.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply slickdeals
Could you be more specific with regards to which table?
As far as i can see only the building modes diagram lists date for each storey, but the only data here are the displacements of each mode.
Hello,

Hi,
Then i can only inform you that v9.7.3 does not copy pier labels either. Good luck with resolving the issue.. or reassigning pier labels at all storeys..

Hello,
Pier and spandrel naming must be unique for the elements associated with one level of your building. So you can't have two P1 piers on the same level, but you can have a P1 pier and an other P1 pier on different levels.
Does that answer your question?
