ETAB Live Load Redcution
ETAB Live Load Redcution
(OP)
In ETAB, I defined Live load as reducible live load. I know it reduces live load for column design. But my question is does the live load get reduced for beam and joist design as well?
Because I don't want to recduce live load for beam and girder design- is there a way in ETAB so that it reduces ony for columns and not for beams and other elements?
Any help appreciated.

But I want to design beams and girder on the same model but without reducing live load.So far I used to design beams and girder clicking the option " No live load reduction" and while designing columns click the option "reduce per ASCE 7" and choosing the axial force option as you mentioned above.
I am wondering how other people are designing and if there is an efficient way to do it.
Thanks

Itsolved the problem.
thanks for everyone.
RE: ETAB Live Load Redcution
if i am not wrong, even if i define live load as simple live load (not reducable live) live load reduction will be applied by etabs.. rite/?
