I have a rectangular steel building with concrete shear wall core (at the center within steel structure) which supposes to resist all lateral forces. When I do the steel beam and column analysis, do I need to consider earthquake and wind load?
JenDL,
Do you mean I can seperate the analysis in two parts,
Part 1, analysis vertical load only and check the bending, shear..... on vertical-dir
Part 2, analysis laternal load only and check the bending .... on horizontal-dir
and size the members based on both analysis?
I have a roof perimeter beam subjects to loads on vertical and laternal directions.
Vertical load: L, D, W1(upward)
Laternal load: E, W2(to the wall)
Considering 1.2 D + 1.6 Lr + 0.8 W and 0.9 D +/- E,
1) how can I fit the vertical W1 and laternal W2 to the first equation?
2) am I supposed to...
I am trying to pick the right value of Cnet (net pressure coefficients) from IBC2009 Table 1609.6.2(2).
Elements: +internal pressure -internal pressure:
Windward wall 0.43 0.73
Leeward wall -0.51 -0.21
Sidewall...
