Could anyone help me about dual system in STAAD
1. How can I command Staad to carry 25% OF base shear on Moment frames and 75% on Walls?
- do I need to create two models for each and anlayze?
- use change command to analyze the system separately
- or can I create separate loading for each system and apply factors (25% & 75% for frame & wall respectively)
2. In reality, do frames actually perform as it will be analyzed with 25% of base shear during earthquake? if so, how can we ensure this? specially if some beams are supported by the wall
please enlighten me.
thanks
