offset expansion joints
offset expansion joints
(OP)
A senior engineer asked me if ETABS can model a structure with offset expansion joints. The EJ at the first level occurs in a different bay then the EJ's in the levels above. Has anyone had any experience with modeling this condition in ETABS? Thanks.





RE: offset expansion joints
possible, but depends on the stability of the part which is on the other level. Not sure of the structural system what you have.
Cheers
