Modeling walls with Staad
Modeling walls with Staad
(OP)
The wall has 2 different section, the lower one is 2' thick supporting the upper one which is 1' thick. The problem is that I try to have the wall face match each other so the lower wall will carry eccentric load from above. How would you model this wall, what command in Staad do you use ??
Thank you..
Thank you..

To model the eccentric wall you may use a rigid horizontal element as shown below
1
1 > Upper 1' wall ( element )
1
1
----- > Rigid element ( high thickness to obtain
1 rigidity)
1
1
1 > Lower 2' wall ( element )

Could you explain more how to model it??
