In my shear wall analysis, Etabs is subtracting the torsional shear from direct shear i.e. my total shear is less than the direct shear. I think the positive torsional shear should be added to direct shear but the negative torsional shear should not be added to direct shear, isn’t it? Do you...
I'm working on a etabs model. I meshed the concrete walls 2'X2' and the slab 4'X4'. The area of the slab is about 35,000 SFT and number of walls are around 60. With these mesh sizes (which are very small)it looks like there are too many nodes and too many equations to solve and my computer is...
I am a new user CSI Safe. I have designed a flat slab using SAFE. Now I would like to export the safe model to Etabs to run the lateral. Meshing for the slabs and walls is already done in safe, so it is easy to run the analysis. But I dont see the Import file format in Etbas where I can take it...
