On parapets you would use compnents and cladding for determining wind loads. The MWFRS is the building itself, the loads from the parapet are transferred to it.
jakesbraves,
I had the same problem. These programs use a lot of video memory. You will probably have to upgrade your video card to 128 or even 256 MB.
An interesting article in December-January edition of Structure Magazine on fire protection:

Hope this helps.
If you need more info try a Google search "97 UBC, section 1632", this is the section of the UBC that pertains to equipment mounting and...
Tim76,
The code prohibits the use of aluminum in structural concrete unless it is effetively coated or covered. Aluminum reacts with concrete and, in the presence of chloride ions, may also react electrolytically with steel, causing cracking and/or spalling of the concrete. Aluminum electrical...
I suggest that you take a drawing of what you intend to do to a local truss manufaturer and have them work out the engineering details for floor trusses. This seems pretty simple and straight forward. If you are not shure of the bearing capacity of the walls, be sure to have someone experienced...
FreeRangeMonkey,
Is it possible to set and epoxy a channel on top of the masonry wall and connect to the steel frame? This should help reduce failure at the connection.
I should also mention that with the increase in depth of the footing, you can use an allowable soil bearing pressure increase. In this case, the bearing area of the footing can be decreased from 20.25 ft2 (4.5 ft X 4.5 ft) to 14.00 ft2 (3.75 ft x 3.75 ft), effectively reducing the critical...

For an increase from 12" to 36", to get viable results from you software increase min. steel to 3.70 in2. Punching shear will increase 9 times, beam shear is 0, allowable beam shear is 161,213 lb, all else being the same.
Try a mat of #5 bars 4.25" o.c., 12 min.

In seismic analysis, response spectrum is the curve showing a relationship between the maximum response and the frequency or period of a structure. The responses can be displaced, velocity, and acceleration, in which case the corresponding response spectra are called displacement spectrum...
The NDS has tables for just about anything to do with structural wood design. It is referrenced in all building codes in the United States, so it is accepted by practically all building jurisdictions. The link that you have provided has good info, however, I don't know that if referrenced, it...
