Hi dear zaher, jae
I appreciate your discussion about period estimation. I think that you have to modify the analysis based period regarding nonstructural effects. This will affect design forces directly.
Ok! but for design of structures with energy dissipator devices, like friction dampers...
hello
i would like to know about push over analysis through sap2000, I knew push over as a method to estimate the overstrength of structure and also a mean to refine the R factor. How sap2000 will help us to have an estimation of overstrength? i would like to have an overview on this matter...
In the case of a steel structure (30 stories) with a concrete core in the middle how can we consider the creep effect of central core on the structure?
