Can the slenderness koef. for sway RC frames be greater then 2 if you are using linear analysis and you want to add moments because of the buckling effect?
Im talking reinforced concerete structures here!
Hi!
Usualy we use monogram for determing value of K,wich will be multiplied with columns lenght. l=k x lo.
For non-sway frames maximum teoretical value is k=1,00, but for sway frame its k=infinite!
Anyway I found that people are always talking about k,max=2 for sway frames. Even so, this value...
This one seems to be very good:

Yeah I agree with you, but the problme is that I had listen to the class on FEM , but the man was a, complete idiot and personaly I think he didnt have a jack clue what he was talking about. So its very sad taht we got cut off prety much in that field.
So maybe for a completly new begining I...
Hello!
Im a total beginner in this field, but Im looking in direction of writing something on my own.
Can you recommend an good book to FEM modeling, matrix structural analysis, even maybe how to start writing your own program.
Thank you in advance
Flats slabs thicknes 20 cm, rectangular column array 6,00 m spans, column 40/40 cm and storey hight 3,00 m.
Loads where: self-weight and 10kN/m^2 on slab deck.
