hello everyone,
1.0 I am working on FEM for Tank Mat design.want to know about what support conditions to be given in STAAD FEM.
2.0 I have applied wind/seismic moment as up/down pressure on element but do i have to apply horizontal wind/seismic force also on elements? how will the element take the horrizontal shear?
