Self-Weight Multiplier for Localized Load Patterns
Self-Weight Multiplier for Localized Load Patterns
(OP)
Hello,
When using a self-weight multiplier of 1.0 for a localized load pattern in SAP2000, does it include the self weight of the entire system or just the elements that the load is applied to?
Thanks

RE: Self-Weight Multiplier for Localized Load Patterns
Include the self weight of the entire system.
All the elements modeled in the DEAD case are affected with "1.0" or the self weigth is included.
