Dear All, Please see the latest member rank hierarchy that has been implemented. Your feedback is more than welcome. Thanks.

it would depend upon the material of construction being used. In general, load combinations involving seismic (earthquake) effects will be critical for RC structures. Whereas, for steel structures, those involving wind effects will be more critical. In practice however we check the structures for structural safety against the load combinations (specified by applicable material design / loading codes) involving all type of loads that are expected to be resisted by the structure during its entire design life. Regards.

SAFE can include these inverted beams as line elements or shell elements.

Dear friends what are the most critical load combinations(service and strength) for zone 2B please. Regards

Assalam U Alaikum all, especially UmarMakhzumi I tip my hat to you for this great initiative. As for me, i have just completed studies from NEDUET in Civil engineering and am looking to specialise and study master in Structural Engineering. I did a short course on ETABS and have been learning to use the software. Confusions regarding its use brought me to this site and Im glad I found it. Looking forward to learn from all the resources at hand here. Regards, Muhammad Shamiq Saeed
