I was just wandering which is the best way to simulate eccentricity in beam column connections. I use rigid dummie beams with large moments and shear factors with zero mass and weight factors. I simulate my connections like this because its easier to handle the general geometry of my model. The...

When a diaphgram constraint is assigned to level joints, does sap2000 calculates automatically the mass moment of inertia of these joints? (In reference with the level center of mass). Thanks in advance. George D. Ntounis Structural Engineer Dip. National Technical University of Athens

Hello to everyone. I want to create a master joint (node) in the center of mass of each level (slabs on every level). I want to concentrate each level mass and mass moment of inertia in these master joints. I assign to every level master joint the level constrain (diaphragm constrain Z). The...

Does anyone know a good complete tutorial for a concrete building? From start (foundation, columns, beams, slabs etc).
