No, I do not agree with that conclusion; engineering judgment and the fundamental intent of seismic design provisions suggest otherwise. Inverted pendulum-type structures are inherently non-redundant, and any damage or inelastic deformation, especially at the base, can provide instability or...- DynamicsMX

Modeling question in etabs, What Etabs does to a shell element to make it "ribbed" ?
I have noticed that, in a stiffness matrix perspective, the software only transforms the ribbed transversal section into an equivalent solid slab (based on the inertia). The design process should use the width and depth of the ribbed section, but how it "trims the section" is a black box. So...- DynamicsMX
