Roof brace axial force during Earthquake?
Roof brace axial force during Earthquake?
(OP)
Hello,
I’m wondering how to correctly estimate/calculate the right axial force in industry hall roof brace (with only tension forces)? Hall main elements are concrete columns (without any shear walls). Roof is made from soft steel sheets which I can’t model as rigid diaphragm. Will modal (combination) analysis give a wrong result?
Other suggestions/thoughts/comments are highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

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.
