Obtaining 2-Way shear forces or stress from a shell element in modeled in SAP2000
Obtaining 2-Way shear forces or stress from a shell element in modeled in SAP2000
(OP)
Hello,
I am working on a Pile-Cap design for 5 pile group. Since the pile cap is not loaded concentrically, I have modeled this using SAP2000. For the design of pile cap, I need to obtain the 2 way shear forces or stress from the results. I understand that V13 and V23 are results for one way shear along their respective directions. What do I use for two-way shear?

In summary: if you're stuck with SAP as your modelling tool, I think that you'll need to pull out your reactions and post process the punching shear by hand/spreadsheet/decon software.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
