Applying loads on SAP2000
Applying loads on SAP2000
(OP)
Hi everyone! :)
I would like to ask for some help on how to apply the loads on this model that I have made. The second floor walls are made of wood(shell elements) and the first floor walls are made up of adobe (also using shell elements). I have already computed the dead, live and seismic loads. I just do not know whether I should apply them as uniform distributed load, point load, area load, or whatever. Please help me. Thank you!
Btw, here's the model:

RE: Applying loads on SAP2000
be careful, this beam must be either "NONE" Section or Small dimensions section like 1x1 cm2 to Ignore shear and moment strength.
For me I prefer "NONE" section Beam.

The load combination I used for that particular run is 1.0*Dead load + 1.0*Earthquake along Y-axis + 0.3*Earthquake along X-axis
Do you think it's valid?
