  2. Thank you for your valuable feedback. I have checked all the files in that attachment and they used strut to show masonry wall properties. It was helpful but I have to assigned a Multi-linear plastic link element to strut for better NL analysis. and Now I am confused for defining some parameters in the ML plastic link element.
  3. I know that. I was trying to find a book with field examples on how to transfer loads from slabs to beams and walls (if load bearing) and then to footing.
  4. You can find design of spread footings examples in typical concrete handbooks, like Nilson or Macgregor.
  5. In this case, for lateral load resisting system, the system will work as braced frame since braced frame stiffness >> moment frame. The reason why you can’t find an example is that moment frame when provided with braced frame is just adding extra cost - it’s not needed and totally redundant.

  7. Hello I am working of macro modeling in sap2000. I have to model a masonary walls in sap2000 by link elememt method approach . I have to draw the ML plastic and Elastic link but I am confused in some parameters .How can I define the force -displacement for the skeleton curve and what should be the parameters for hystersis ?

  9. Yes, you can. In that case, it will be either a Dual System if the produced lateral load resisting system is enlisted in your lateral load resisting systems table, or it may be a "Combination of two different framing systems" in the same direction. For the 1st case, your table will say whether it is permitted in your seismic zone or SDC and up to which height it is permitted, and for the other type both the framing systems shall be permitted separately in the table. For the latter case, you have to use the lowest R value and the corresponding Cd and Omega value for that lowest R. If your case is not seismic, only wind and if you want to use cross bracing to lower your structure sway, in that case there seems to be no problem. Which code r u using?
  10. This warning is occuring after analysing the footing in SAFE software 2020. can anyone tell me how to overcome this! it would be of great help. *Warning: Check meshing, At area 4 ( 2.61% Increment)*
  11. Can we provide cross bracing in a moment resisting frame? Why can't I find any example?
  12. Hi to all,I am wondering how to design concrete beam which support shear wall loaded by earthquake. According to capacity design I have to protect the beam from collapse and avoid plastic hinges formed in the beam.Okay, but which reduction factor should I use to calculate earthquake force. Can I consider small reductions of or should I design a beam based on fully elastic earthquake forces?Thank you for any toughts.

I had intended that the book reflects my expertise in structural engineering, specifically concrete design, spanning more than 20 years of professional practice, research, and teaching. With that in mind, I developed over the years sets of lecture notes on reinforced concrete design that I used in various academic roles from teaching assistant to associate professor to teach undergraduate students in higher education institutions in the Middle East and North America This “book” is intended as a humble contribution in the field of structural design of reinforced concrete to make it more approachable, handy, and useful to undergraduate students and practicing structural engineers. It represents my set of lecture notes on concrete design developed over the period of eight years. However, most of the material presented, especially on the analysis and systems, can be useful in concrete design using any building code, with proper modifications according to local codes, since the theoretical basis used is common in many aspects among various codes My intent was to wait until I rewrite these lecture notes, with additional formal discussions, in a formal textbook format and assign a publisher to edit and disseminate that textbook professionally. However, given the substantial size of the material and my current academic and professional commitments, this project can take a few more years to be completed in the presentable way I envisioned. I felt guilty to hold back this knowledge further until formal publication although it can help many students and engineers until then, thus I am presenting these lecture notes as is with my handwriting and manual drawings in this “book,” with the intent of revising, upgrading and publishing it professionally in the future. Please refer to the remark in the Introduction chapter for details about the consistency of this book with the latest version of the Egyptian Code ECP 203-2020. The material in its current format is generally self-contained and it helped thousands of civil engineering students and practicing engineers learn concrete design successfully. I retain my publishing rights of this material for the sole intention of publishing the textbook in a more formal manner in the future; however, I grant the right to any individual to use the book for academic and educational purposes or professional design purposes without my permission. I further grant the right to any individual to post this material as is on the Internet and to distribute as is electronically or in print.

  20. Point of minimum moment is likely about mid height of the column; it's not generally convenient to splice at that level.
  21. Same rules apply for Steel AND concrete when it comes to splicing members. Although in concrete its reinforcement laps. Splices are expensive and hence you find the location with minimum bending and shear to splice at. With concrete its not splices as such, but bar lap lengths. The Canadian codes will have their rules for lapping reinforcement - for both compression and tension locations. 40 times the diameter of rebar is a good rule of thumb, if there are no codes available.
  22. Design Codes: I am interested in hearing if structural engineers in Pakistan are undertaking design to European Eurocodes? Or is it all to the American Codes? The Pakistan Building code is not much use. (If you or your company are a Eurocodes design expert, then refer to my profile for contact details). I work overseas and see (and have used) many Structural Engineers and Consulting Companies in India who are proficient in producing design deliverable (GA drawings, detail drawings, analysis, calculations etc) to Eurocodes. They undertake designs for all European countries from India. Great for the company and the country. You can download guides for these codes free online. I would suggest you study Eurocode 1, Eurocode 2 and Eurocode 3 as a minimum to begin with. This will help guide you to design buildings safely, and give you lots of good background information. Each European Country, including Turkey and other countries like Malaysia, Hong Kong use Eurocodes for design. Great for you professional development. Also, Each country have their own National Annexe (specific parameters to the country) to go with these codes. I suggest in Pakistan you use either refer to Turkish or Malaysian National Annexes.

  23. Apologies - I did not log on for a few years! Therefore too late for your query! n the UK now they exclusively use Eurocodes for timber design: Eurocode 5 (previously it was BS 5268, the old British Standard)
  24. Hi, After a few years break I saw a notification from SEP whilst deleting emails - hence I logged in today. Nice to see structural engineering technical deliberations are still going on with the same fervour. Credit to the Team who support this platform! Partition Loadings: 1. Buildings are designed to CODES or STANDARDS. Therefore decide which code are you designing to, and then use their recommendations. 2. Establish what type of partitions you have or will have? Is it a lightweight partition or will the partition heavy be in concrete block or brick. Acoustic, fire, party walls etc dictate the wall construction.. If its a speculative building (future floor uses unknown) then take higher loading. 3. Partitions in non-structural walls taking no vertical loading except for their self weight and finished, or occasional item (non-heavy) hung from the wall. 4. Generally 1 kpa = 1kn/sqm = 100kg/sqm covers most loading situations. This loading should be included as Imposed or Live loading in your calculations. Heavier partitions 1.5kN/sqm (blockwork). 5. As the building is many storeys high, and partitions are included as live loading, there are reduction factor for number of storeys imposed loading given by the codes when calculation foundation loading. Refer to the code rules when calculating foundation loading (for economy). 6. As a check take one floor with lots of partitions, and calculate the loading per sqm and then use that loading. Hope this helps.
  25. I do that occasionally, else we have a prescribed partition load. If you base it on actual calculations, you have to stipulate this and that partition layout cannot be changed except yby a prof engineer. In addition. When it comes to actual calculation of partition loads, make sure you subtract the design floor live load for the area taken by the partitions. dik
  26. I manually calculate every portion load. From CAD drawings, manually measuring the running length and by volume, and masonry density method to spread over slab. For a 15-story building, it has taken 3 days, but the errors are possible. I want to talk about it with you, is there any effective method to calculate these partition loads? Like is there any shortcut to it, like any software approach. searching google it say, import the architectural plans, drawing walls manually and by selecting and pressing cntr+shift+w, it give you automatically loading. I tried but this shortcut is for refreshing the window, lol. what method you people choose on your projects. Any suggestions for the errors and time effectiveness would be highly appreciated. Thanks
  27. I'm not sure what a lap zone is... is this a splice location? If so, in these environs, splices generally occur at finished floor level in multi storey concrete buildings. For steel buildings I put them about 2' (600mm) above finished floor.
