    Necking simulation

    Hi! I am modelling a necking problem.I want to get the engineering stress-strain curve. My specimen is 20mm length and 5 mm radious. I model the quarter section considering the axissymmetry and symmetry about horontal axis. My abaqus model 20 mm length and 5mm width. I use axisymmetry element...

    Getting reactions

    Hi! Could you please tell me how I can get the reaction from boundary conditions? I use uniform displacement load. It is abaqus. Thanks Usitha

    Structural Software

    Dear All! What are the average percentage of time of total time for Modelling and Analysing a typical steel structure in any structural software (like Stad Pro or SAP) you use? Example .....Modelling 50% and analysing 50% This is just for an information. thanks

    Special seismic load combinations

    In IBC 2003, the maximum seismic load effect Em (1617.1.1.2) is used with load combinations in sec 1605.4. That section further says, this Em is required for the design of vulnerable elements critical to the stability of the structure. But, It didn’t spell out specific elements crictical to...

    Ss and S1

    Hi all!~ In the IBC,when they write the EQ spectral response acceleration Ss and S1, they use g with Ss and S1; example Ss=1.4g, then Ss=1.4*9.81? please explain me BR Tharani

    Bracing member in STAAD Pro

    Dear all! When we analyse and design braced frame structures, we can define braces as truss members or frame members with moment releases at both ends (My and Mz). Which is the best way to define braced members in STAAD Pro or in any other similar software Thanking you in advance Tharani

    Load combinations

    Considering the combinations from the IBC 2000 or 2003, particularly the 0.6D+0.7E for structural design, if we have an instrument, we consider the instrument selfweight as D load in addition to member weight, and the operating weight (weight of content at operating; OPERATING WEIGHT) as L...

    IBC 2003!

    Hi! I would like to know whether IBC 2003 contains seismic data for other countries(Guinea)? How can we do EQ design for other country usimh IBC 2003? Please give me some hints
