You should check out ETABS Manual. Joint capacity calculations are detailed there.
-
Do you mean reinforcement steel as in concrete structures or structural steel (rolled shapes) ?
-
Yes, I assume so. What are your thoughts?
-
Hali, is there any special specific name for this kind of stiffened box bridge girder? or its just called a stiffened box bridge girder?
-
There is a solved example in the attachment at this topic.

What are PEB Structures?

ASD is an older method that is still practised by a lot of mechanical engineers to size pressure vessels and tanks. However, for structural engineering, everywhere, LRFD is used. Here is a detailed answer I read once somewhere on the internet and saved it as it was very interesting.

SEISMIC FORCES ON FRAME SUPPORTED WATER TANK
Ayesha replied to Badar (BAZ)'s topic in Journal/ Articles/ Tutorials
This might be because the existing frame has limited ductility. -
The first thing you need to start off with is understanding of building and design codes. A structural design code would tell you what kind of analysis you need to do for a given case. It is simple as that.
-
Can you extend B4 a little out so it cantilevers beyond the face of the shearwall and then connect B3?
-
There is no such thing as fixed behaviour. The bottom slab will be able to develop moment. Your understanding is correct.
-
I will reply to that but I want to know what do you think what would happen?
-
You can see this post for reinforcement detailing. Just don't provide the top reinforcement in the bottom slab, rest all everything shown there is applicable.
-
Generally, offsets for beams and slabs are ignored in ETABS to keep modelling simple and error free. Such cases can be analysed manually. Analysis also depends on reinforcement and detailing for slabs. For example, if you don't provide any negative reinforcement in the bottom (mid-height) slab, you won't be transferring any moment in the beam as the top of slab would crack.

The Standard Soil Profile Type Map of Pakistan

@zenith.international -
You can export your ETABS model with loads to SAFE and then use that for analysis.
-
You can provide laps at L/3 locations and provide reinforcement at lap locations per Class A and Class B laps.
-
@BAZ, can you please also explain ‘why’ beam column capacity ratio of the top story can be ignored.
-
Degree of freedom = direction in which an object can move. There are 3 Horizontal Directions and 3 Rotation Directions to say the least.
-
Can't you have a load combination instead of a load case that combines both the affects?
-
You should explain here or what is the point of having a forum?

Which FEA / CAD / CAE SWs are most used in Pakistan?
Ayesha replied to Martin Blazek's topic in Software Issues
No offence but your email looks like scam. Do you have a website? -
This would help.

Which FEA / CAD / CAE SWs are most used in Pakistan?
Ayesha replied to Martin Blazek's topic in Software Issues
In my opinion, ETABS and Safe are the most commonly used softwares for buildings and foundation analysis followed by Staad. In general, a very few companies use licensed softwares. Like 99% structural softwares being used are cracked and pirated. For FEA SAP200 is used. For CAD nearly all Pakistan uses AutoCAD. It is easy to get cracked softwares then to find a licensed dealer in Pakistan.
