ETABS has an "Auto Select selection list" which could be assigned to objects lke beams and columns. This list is based on American standrads for steel structures.
I do live in a country where I want to use to German standrad (DIN) for steel sections.
What can I do?
1- Is it possible to carry out...
Sorry if this is a simple question, but I am new to ETABS.
In analysing a building after defining the loads (dead, live, wind and earthquake, we also have to define load combinations and choose the sever case for each element based on these load combinations.
How can I define load combinations...
ETABS Nonlinear v8.1.5
Define Static Load Case Names
For live load, there are two options in “type”. One is live and another is reduce live. What is the difference between them?
I am planning to analyze a tunnel with 5.5 m diamtere and 30 km length for two directions: longitudinal and cross-section for earthquake loads.
It may be necessary two models one without concrete segments as linng and the second without lining.
Is it possible to use SAP2000 for this purpose?
What are the commercial softwares for stress-strain calculation of water transmitting tunnels?
Is it possible to use SAP (Structural Analysis Program) for these calculations? In other words is it possible to model the soil-structure interaction in SAP?
I would like to know what are the European and American standards for design of Water transmitting tunnels? By tunnel I mean an underground structure with a diameter of about 5 meter and 30 km length. Is there any specific and independent standards written for these structures?
Also I would like...
It is mentioned in a Japanese book titled seismic design methods, (limit state design method) that:
Modal Analysi for Time-History method will be used when the damping matrix in differential equation of motion is a proportional damping.
What is the meaning of proportional damping?
Also will be...

I am new to this site. I am a civil engineer and presently using UBC 97 and IBC2003 for design of buildings. I have some questions regrarding these two standards.
Which forums are the best to send questions regarding these two standards? I couldn't see a forum with "IBC" or "UBC" name.
