Codes for dividing a large structure into two smaller individual structures
Codes for dividing a large structure into two smaller individual structures
(OP)
Hello everyone, i was asked by my employer to find out about a code that requires the division of a larger structure into two smaller individual structures. I have not come upon such a requirement up to this point and this is something they did not teach as at the university. Can anyone point me out where this is mentioned inside Eurocodes or British Standards?
Thank you
Thank you

The division of one structure into two smaller structures can be required for more than one motive.
1)It can be required from a seismic point of view. In this case you must observer the plan view of the structure and you must separate it into simple geometric form like squares ( an L plan view structure must be separated into two square models).
2)From a thermic point of view. A metallic structure must be divided if it's longer than 30meters. The elements dilating so you must give them room to expand.
