Hello,
When applying different loading conditions for joists (not just distributed load, e.g. a point load or partial distributed loads). I know that RISA Floor will do the Uniform Load Method, which, I thought it was just getting an equivalent Uniform Load. My question is that it seems that whenever the joist fails, the UDL goes through the roof, and is sometimes more than what I hand calculate from the Moment or Shear diagrams. Is there a reason why this is happening? I kind of think there is additional iteration somewhere, but I can't figure out why.
Thanks!
