Hi, i got a building to review. The person is using special moment resisting frame parameters as per ASCE 7-16 for the x and y direction of the building. But as per the model, the engineer is not using beams along x direction in two bays due to the height restriction. They are relying on the...
Hi,
We have a building in which we have first mode as torsion mode. One of colleagues is saying that instead of correcting the geometry like adding shear walls or changing column orientation, we should find the eccentricities at diaphragms and use those increased values in the load patterns. I...
Hi,
I am little confused with values of the strains in the compression rebars in doubly reinforced beam. Is there any limit on the strain of the rebars. Should the stress be within yield stress or it may exceed yield stress values. If the stress in rebars exceed the yield strength, then the...
I have a small opening which is at the face of the column. While calculating punching shear the software is not reducing the punching perimeter. The size of column is 24" x24". The slab is 8" thick. and the opening is 8"x8". I have attached the screenshots.
Does any have idea about this...
