I am designing a bridge between 2 buildings. the
The building is 7 stories and a 30m link bridge is required at level 3,4 5 and 6.between the buildings
The building has expansion joint on one side of bridge which will be accommodated via a slotted connection on one side
1)Can I consider the bridge not as a part of lateral Load Resisting System? and design bridge separately and apply point loads?
2)While Designing the Steel bridge in Etabs-ASCE 7-16 can I use the same R ,Omega and Cd values input for concrete as the Major model is a concrete structure and steel is designed only in a small area
3)How about amending the R omega and Cd values in steel design Parameters?
4)As per ASCE table 12 what is the value that I should consider for Steel Trusses?
