    Joint reinorcement amount of a RC SMRF

    To see how the beam column joints of a SMRF are to be designed, you have to refer to chapater 21.5 of the ACI318-99

    Structural Analysis and Design Software

    To 2610 ive just seen a very interesting site: www.zentech-usa.com/index.htm They have a Software called STRUCAD 3d i think this software is what you are looking for....

    Structural Analysis and Design Software

    To 2610 Hi Well, i dont know of any structural analysis software that would specially analyse offshore structures, maybe if you make a more detailed description of the structure you are dealing with,and the kind of analysis you want to do, i could help you. I guess that it has to do with...

    Structural Analysis and Design Software

    TO 2610.... hi 2610, what version of STAAD are you using? STAAD PRO2000 OR 2001?

    SAP2000

    every time sap runs it stores the input and output info on several files. you should be able to open this information using vba commands.remember that sap2000 is very similar to sap90, that uses a preprocessor to build and input file. if you can create a vba routine to build the sap input file...

    SAP2000

    Well i dont know what excatly you want to do, but apperently you cant launch sap from another program and let the program use the sap data or results... as far as i know sap operates at a close structure. To do what you want you have to be able to modify the sap main code. (that is written in...

    earthquake design

    You may need to make a computer model of both buildings and run a dynamic analysis to both to make sure that the buildings dont bang into one another...

    Software For Design

    Hi Lina, ive never used Robot, but i have just reviewed thier website and it seems to be a good software. Apperently it covers steel and concrete design using american codes (ACI, LRFD, ASD,also for timber structures), i didnt see wood there. It seems that it also have some advanced analysis...

    Software For Design

    once againg JAE is right. keep in mind that RISA will cost you under 3000$ while ETABS can cost you over 7000$. ETABS on the other hand is much more powerful and can handle very large structures, also can perform nonlinear dynamic analisis, pushover and can handle dampers on the analysis. so as...

    Software For Design

    I AGREE WITH JAE, BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW, RISA ONLY SUPPORTS STEEL DESIGN....YOU SHOULD REVIEW THIER SITE BEFORE BUYING.

    Software For Design

    All that software is good, but it depends on your design needs.... my first choice would be Sap2000, then prokon, staadpro2001, and finally visual. visual is a good software but it is not suitable for very large structures. If you want a state of the art structural software with steel and...

    dear ernest could you let me kno

    THANK YOU QSHAKE FOR THE ASSISTANCE.... IF YOU ARE TRYING PUSHOVER WITH A CONCRETE FRAME IT WOULD BE INTERESTING IF YOU TRY IDARC2D....IT IS A VERY GOOD PROGRAM, DEVELOPED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK - BUFFALO THE BEST IS THAT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE. ERNESTO

    push over analysis

    the website of sap2000 is www.csiberkeley.com you can also try, for comparison, IDARC2D, is an excelent program to perform pushover analysis.
  18. ERNESTOBARRERA

    push over analysis

    check out the sap2000 web site. there is a good tutorial there on how to perform a pushover analisys using sap2000.

    design capacity philosophy for RC buildings under earthquake movement

    The best source to find information about the capacity design philosophy is the following book: SEISMIC DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE AND MASONRY BUILDINGS. of T. Paulay and M.J.N Preistley. You should go to chapter 1.4.1, were you will find the main features of this philosophy. For me, i find...

    MODELLING A CONCRETE FRAME USING STAAD PRO2000

    i would like to know how to model a 3d multistory reinforced concrete building with two way reinforced concrete slab, using STAAD PRO2000. This must be done considering that the STAAD PRO2000 MASTER/SLAVE options yields wrong results, so it can't be used. The building of course is subjected to...
