I'm trying to determine how ETABs ver. 9.2 is reporting beam deflections. I have run my design and have a beam failing as a result of deflection and I can see the load combination which is resulting in that deflection. When I check the analysis moment 3-3 diagram and the deflections that...
I've been modelling a steel frame building with moment connected beams acting as the lateral system. When I run the program with the auto select list and run a steel design, I get the largest member in the auto select list assigned to the lateral beams. I tried removing that member size from...
Hey, i've built up a fairly large model with a curved joist roof. It's composed of about 10 bays and i'm trying to model the roof using a series of null areas to try and approximate the roof's actual curvature. I'm also inputting my own wind loads, not using the wind coefficients or any...
I modelled and designed a complicated curved truss on etabs and now i'm trying to get an output of the design forces. I manage to get the tables for all the members, but due in part to the curvature and having to model it as a series of straight lines i end up with a lot of data.
Is there...
