Hello to everyone.
Does anyone know what is the maximum length/width ratio for a single-storey steel building above which we should place a seismic joint gap to seperate the building into parts ?
If you could give me a code reference i would really appreciate it. I use EC3 and EC8.
I wonder what is the future of structural analysis .In my country most engineers work with elastic and empirical methods since most buildings are the same multi storey r/c blocks of flats.I would like to work on something new and i dont know what.Is pushover worth-while or should i work on...
I want to run a space frame with and i dont know how to apply uniform loads on the beams.i used rectangular shell elements with very very small bending thickness (0,000000001.Are the uniform loads assigned correctly to the beams this way
