How to model eccentric beam position in Etabs?
How to model eccentric beam position in Etabs?
(OP)
To all Etabs master,
Just a question on how to model in etabs an eccentric beam connected in column (beam not in the center of column) in such a way to analyze a proper/accurate column behaviour.

1. Ignore eccentricities if they are relatively small, as considering them may result in difficulties achieving a proper area mesh afterwards
2. If eccentricities are located on the beam axis, then the end length offset option may be a solution
3. Otherwise, create a dummy element (of any cross section) with reduced stiffness modifiers (0.001) and zero mass-weight modifiers. This will be used to connect the column with the actual starting node of the beam.
