Hi to All!
I have found a difficulty finding an example of joint between a regular plain slab and a composite slab.
The problem is that I need to create this joint in an unusual place (middle of the span), we are trying to figure out the solution to cast in-situ slab over prefabricated...
Hello everyone,
I am working with a structural engineer form other company and I am having a hard time to convince him to place the wind loads as concentrated in the diaphragm.
I have the impression that there are losses of load when the horizontal load is defined on lines.
Could you give...
Dear colleagues,
I have received an ETABS Model created by other specialist, I have to review his model for faults and create e report, it is the first time for me doing this.
So I find that the first 3 mode shapes are torsional, and in my experience the most common case is when the 1st and 2nd...
Hello Guys!
I am stuck, dealing with the ISO 4354:2009 standard, I see lot of formulas and coefficients it confuses me, so I can´t see clearly if I need to calculate all of them or just some.
Looking for an application guide or calculated examples, determining wind loads on a 25 story...
Hey Guys!
I am reviewing a wooden structure, offered by a third party for my project. As wind on slopped roofs produces pressure(windward) and uplift(leeward), I found that the wind uplift is comparable to the self weight of the elements (uplift/self weight=96% approx), so I am worried about...
Hi guys!
I have trouble when changing to the directX visual mode.
Etabs shows message: Unable to create rendered view. Model window will be closed.
I am struggling with it because when I create a big project it is faster to pan and scroll on the results on the directX view.
I have tryed:
* To...
Hello Everyone!
I am working on a 31 story building and my boss insists to use deep beams as solution for the transition from walls to columns (it is a common practice in the office) but not for a 105 meters high rise.
today I am trying to prove his theory configuring a deep beam with 8.4...
Dear experts,
I need help in defining if my model works fine and displayed the base reaction table:
And to my surprise found that my Dead and Live loads (purely gravitational) produce huge Moment reactions.
Why if I defined that loads as superficial to floor elements, it comes as moment at...
Dear Colleagues,
I am creating a load chart for pile design in a Hotel building, for external consultation.
To complete the chart I have to include Columns and Wall forces on the ground level. So I have selected joints under the columns and got the reaction forces. Under the walls the most...

Hello,
I am subscribed to this forum since 2010 and mostly was looking for answers.
Today I have learned a lesson from the details in the model:
I have spent the whole last week analyzing 45 meter high RC building model that had an issue with some of the beams (later I found out that the...
Hi I´m trying to create a non-linear model for a membrane roof and need a prestress to stabilize the solution, but I don´t know how to introduce them, thank you in advance.
