Regarding section cuts in SAP, specifically for shell slab elements, do the integrated moments account for the effect of M12 on M11/M22? I suspect that M12 is accounted for but I was wondering if anyone else has experience with this.
Thanks for your help,

Hi everyone,
Can anyone give me some guideance on how to account for cracked section properties in my SAP2000 shear wall model? I believe it has something to do with f11, f22, f12 but I cannot find any literature on what range of modifier to use. Your help would be greatly appreciated! -EJ
Hi everyone,
I am trying to implement cracked section properties in my reinforced concrete model. Specifically, I am trying to reudce the moment of inertia of my shear wall (thin shell) but I cannot figure out how to do this. Modifying the moment of inertia of columns and beams is easy as the...
Hello again everyone,
I am performing an equivalent frame analysis on a flat plate slab. I have two different distributed loads on either side of my design frame run. Lets assume that one one side has a load of 10 kPa and on the other, 20 kPa.
What is the most efficient way to combine these...
Hello everyone,
I am designing a two way flat plate slab using the direct design method. The perimeter of my structure has a cladding line load. I would like to consider the effects of these moments in my column and middle strips of my exterior panel although I cannot seem to find any guidance...
It appears as though whenever I run a response spectrum analysis, SAP does not consider the effect of the mass of the structure. Does anyone know how to make SAP consider the effect of mass?
