Dear All,
As per commentary clause "ACI 318-08, R9.5 — Control of deflections" if you satisfy the minimum thickness requirements of clauses 9.5.3.1, 9.5.3.2, and 9.5.3.3 there won't be any need to control deflections!!!
firstly, What sort of deflection it is referring to? immediate, long term...
Hello All,
Do you know any shortcuts (prefereably Graphical Solution) to calculate the lateral sway of Vertical Bracing or Moment Reisiting Frames in low/medium rise buildings? I know I can calculate it with "Virtual Work Method" but this can be lengthy!
Many Thanks,
Hello All,
I'd be grateful if you share some ideas regarding the best locations to introduce splice for bottom and top chord of a steel truss.
Many hanks,
Dear All,
I'm doing a lateral stability study on a 40 story building. Should I model RC floor plates in the lateral stability model? I know that there would be a beneficial effect by including the floor plate on lateral sway of the tower. But, is it a logical thing to do?
many thanks.
Hi Guys,
I am sure you've come across coupled shearwalls. Does anybody have any idea how to model spandrel beams which couples the shearwalls by use of Rigid-Ended Beam Elements?
many thanks,

Hi Guys,
As you might be aware, the recently designed SWFC (Shanghai World Financial Centre) Tower and CCTV tower in shanghai and beijing, have been studied through 1:50 and 1:35 scaled models on shaking table to predict a more realsitic behaviour of these structures under the earthquake.

Hi Gents,
I am trying to design a 300mm Diam. through-bolt which penetrates through 200mm THK reinforced concrete wall and it is under both axial and shear force. The checks that I am trying to apply are as follows:
1-Concrete bearing capacity ----> not sure how to calculate it for a...
Hi Gents,
when we check the stresses
in the shearwall under lateral load and
gravity loads, wha would be the limits
for tension and compression stresses that
you can be sure of their performance.
many thanks.
Hi Gents,
Is there anybody aware of the way the structural imperfection can be modelled in SAP 2000?
for instance it can be critical in buckling analysis or some other types of analysis.
many thanx
hello guys,
I am trying to improve my knowledge about soil-structure interaction, and how to model its true behaviour.
is there anybody who can help me to find some principal text books and literatures?
many thanks,
Sam
