Dear all
I have this simple structure in SAP2000:
I want the self-weight of the slab to transfer to the beam at the slab edges. The self-weight = 25 kN/m^3*0.2m = 5 kN/m^2. I have done the appropriate meshing, but the self-weight of the slab does no seem to be transferring to the beams. Please see the following figure:
As you can see the load on the beam is 0.33 kN/m. From my calcs it should be a trapezoidal load with a maximum of 5 kN/m.
Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Many thanks.
