Hi
I am using SAP2000 to model mass concrete subway stations (thickness of slabs are about 1500mm). I appreciate if you answer my questions about modeling drop beams. In attachment you can find my model, hand calculations and results.
1)I made 5 different simple models:
•Modeling beam with...
Hi
I made a staged construction model for a massive concrete structure to consider the effects of shrinkage, creep and heat of hydration. But I do not know how to consider heat of hydration in sap2000. Is sap able to count for temperature rise due to heat of hydration? (I am using sap2000...
I am modeling a very thick concrete slab which has a deep beam (both of them are shell elements). For considering the differences in centerlines I made an offset between beam and slab joints. My question is that how can I use body constraints to make the connection between beam and slab joints...
