A Moment Of Columns Without Moment
A column that does not directly take bending moments from the slab. Let that sink in for a while. As you come to realize it, you might have been aching…
Response Spectrum Scaling Per As1170.4
Having been used to UBC97 and ASCE 7-10 in scaling of dynamic seismic loads, using the Australian code is totally new to me. So after reading a number of references, probing…
Determining The Transferred Maximum In-Plane Diaphragm Shear Forces To Walls
Let’s extend the application of Mohr’s circle to a topic very dear to us structural engineers dealing with lateral loads, seismic loads especially, that is being transferred from the structural…
Setting Up Several Analysis Models In Etabs
I was asked to present this one as a lecture. Never made it to the team but nonetheless I’m still as eager as ever to present this to you. So…
Setting Up Wind Drift Model In Etabs
Gif file not mine. Credit goes to whoever owns this.webp. Continuing our exploration of the different lateral analysis models, we will now discuss the wind drift/lateral displacement model. Regarding wind…
Prokon And Case Of The Flying Footings
by yours truly Anyone here who uses Prokon’s column base design module? The one that deals with good old conventional isolated pad footings design? Anyone? Despite the new pad-to-soil interaction…
LIMIT STATE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
achieving the design objectives, the design shall be based on characteristic values for material strengths and applied loads (actions), which take into account the probability of variations in the material…
LIMIT STATE DESIGN: BASIS FOR DESIGN
The current revision of the code of practice, IS 800:2000, recommends limit state method for design of structures using hot rolled sections. This method is outlined in section 5 of…
STEEL DESIGN: TYPES OF ELEMENTS
IS 800:2007 classifies elements in to three types, as per Cl. 3.7.3., as follows. 1. Internal elements These are elements attached along both longitudinal edges to other elements or to…
CLASSIFICATION OF CROSS-SECTIONS
Plate elements of a cross-section may buckle locally due to compressive stresses. The local buckling can be avoided before the limit state is achieved by limiting the width to thickness…
