    Deck slab analysis

    I am designing a composite concrete bridge deck slab supported on plate girders by FEM. My question is: The output shear being a contour map,design for the peak value is apparently too conservative. How much wide of a strip of the slab should I take the average for design? Thanks

    Galvanized Class C HSS

    I heard that Class C HSS might undergo some cracking when galvanized. Any published literature on this topic? thanks

    compaction surcharge

    In applying Canadian bridge code to the design of a retaining wall, there is a clause 6.9.3 on compaction surcharge. Are we supposed to consider this surcharge during construction stage only? or construction and service stages? Thanks

    piled slab

    I am doing an investigation on piled slab that will be used to carry roadway embankment through weak soil. Can anybody shed some light on this topic?

    verification problem 1-009 RE: prestressing, bug?

    In this problem, apparently the prestressing force at both ends is not self-equilibrated. There should be some reactions at the supports under this prestressing load case only. Sap gives 0 reaction. I think this is a bug.

    torsion+bending

    Is there any way I can calculate the shear+bending deformation together when a lateral force is not acting on the shear centre of the section (there should be torsion automatically)? assumng the default point of load is at centre of gravity. Thanks

    push-over analysis

    How do I synchronize two windows, one showing deformation and the other showing bending moment diagram, of the same push-over step? Sap 2000 has the ability, as per Habibullah. Thanks in advance.

    time history nalysis

    Anyone has experience analysing time history of a system subject to initial displacement/velocity using sap2000n? Give me some hints, please.

    response factors of Rd, Rv,and Ra

    In steady-state dynamic analysis, there is a deformation response factor Rd which is defined as ratio of amplitude to static deformation;and Ra , ratio of amplitude of acceleration to acceleration due to force p0 acting on mass m. My question is : is there any physical explanation for Rv? Thanks

    Sap2000 response spectrum analysis

    Can I perform Response spectrum analysis with SAP2000 when the spectrum is a displacement vs frequency? thanks.

    shell vs plate in SAP

    I am studing the vibration period of a shell with SAP. When I modeled it as a group of shells, everything is ok--I got the out-of-plane vibration period. But when modeled as plates, I got in-plane vibration--shear deformation. Can anyone tell me why? Thanks

    sap2000 time history analysis

    Hi, There: What should I do first to perform a TH analysis of a model subject to initial displacement and velocity using SAP2000? Since SAP only allows me to define initials as the end state of a previous TH

    sap2000 questions

    Dear Sirs; I got 2 questions in using SAP2000: 1, In Sap2000, can I specifically design a concrete frame as an ordinary, or nominal or ductile moment resisting frame? and if yes how? 2, I understand that NLlink will only behave nonlinearly in non-linear time history analysis. But am I right in...

    pseudo- vs relative velocity

    I have problem understanding the difference between pseudo-velocity and relative velocity response in seismic response. Can anyone give me a hint? Thanks
