    Creep

    Dear friends, I'm trying to model a beam with both ends restrained to rotation and displacement. The only applied load is the shrinkage. I use time-dependent properties to model this effect, and the results are correct. I get an axial load of E•A•e (e=shrinkage). But when I want to obtain the...

    Combinations in Sap2000

    Hello, which I am trying to do is that the program combines the loads. I would introduce the loads and coeficienes of security for the favorable and unfavorable cases. The program would calculate all the possible combinations later and the envelopes. Treatment to avoid to have to write all...

    Combinations in Sap2000

    Hello friends, I would like to know which the form simplest to be made the combinations of loads in a structure of more or less automatic form in Sap2000. The ideal would be to introduce the loads and safety factors and that of automatic form were combined to obtain the envelopes. Thanks...
