    Cracking moment larger than moment of resistance?

    What reinforcement grade are you using? 2M16 in S500 steel should be fine to ensure minimum reinforcement and that the ULS resistance moment is over the cracking moment. My back of the envelope calculations (EN1992): - As,min = 0.26 fctm.b.d/fyk = 0.26 x 2900 x 0.20 x 1.15 / 500 = 3.5 cm2 (2M16...

    FEM Flat Slab Design

    Regarding the FEM analysis and design of irregular flat slabs, try to get a copy of the Concrete Society's guide "TR64 - Guide to the design & construction of reinforced concrete flat slabs" - Link. A 350mm thick transfer slab supporting 5 storeys? I can't see that happening. Depends of course...

    Rebar Sketching Tools

    In my area, the final detailing (rebar tables, numbering, shop drawings) is usually left to the contractor, so I usually do everything manually in Bricscad. However, I'm tring to gain some leverage over the competition by delivering shop drawings when working with some contractors, so I bought...

    Irregularity assessment in low seismicity zones (DCL) according to EC8

    The conclusion is that the analysis method should be applicable to your structural system.

    Irregularity assessment in low seismicity zones (DCL) according to EC8

    If you have already used RSA, there's no need to design using the simplified lateral force method, right?

    Irregularity assessment in low seismicity zones (DCL) according to EC8

    Forget the code. What analysis method is adequate to your structure, taking into account its regularity and the analysis methods limitations?

    Irregularity assessment in low seismicity zones (DCL) according to EC8

    No. If the structural is irregular, a RSA should be used. Not related to code but to the structural behaviour and analysis method limitations.

    Irregularity assessment in low seismicity zones (DCL) according to EC8

    Check section 5.3 - Design to EN1992-1-1.

    Solid Slab 10m span

    We need a sketch with the spans and the position of beams. From what you wrote, I assume you have 2 way solid slabs fully supported on beams on all directions, with short spans of 5m and long spans of 10m. If that's the case, the short span governs and 20cm thick seems ok.

    Insertion points?

    Fundamental Mode - Vertical Direction Monumental Stair

    Unless you have a true pinned connection at the supports, for the vibration analysis I would consider moment restraints as well. The deflection amplitude isn't enough to consider a fully pinned restraint.

    BS EN 1991-1-4 Wind Actions

    BS EN 1991-1-4 Wind Actions

    rho in kg/m3 vb in m/s qb in Pa That leads to: - force [kg.m.s-2] = [N] - pressure [kg.m.s-2.m-2] = [kg.m-1.s-2] = [Pa] - qb [kg.m-3.m2.s-2] = [kg.m-1.s-2] = [Pa]

    SAP2000 to model a pendulum-like structure

    You need to perform a non-linear time-history analysis. I would forget modal analysis as it is inherently linear and it can't capture the cable behaviour appropriately. CSI's wiki page has the description of a Newton craddle problem analysed with SAP2000 that may be a nice reference for your...
