  1. You can find design of spread footings examples in typical concrete handbooks, like Nilson or Macgregor.
  2. 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.
  3. For moment column, reinforcement can be higher at joint location.
  4. Interesting. Is level L2 basement roof or ground floor slab?
  5. I don't have CSI Safe installed, but you if someone is providing you with a higher version file, you can ask them to export it in a neutral format and import it back using older version. Something similar is done for ETABS here, you can have a look here. Thanks.
  6. AA Zeeshan, How are you? Apologies for late reply as I was setting up a few things for the forum. I don't have Safe installed so I can't check the attachments. However there are a few link that can help. Is the issue resolves yet? Can you share the error number if not and check out the links below. Best Regards, Umar https://wiki.csiamerica.com/display/safe/Import+ETABS+into+SAFE+FAQ
  7. Different people have different approach. You can follow the one in your office. The right approach might be looking at frame and the behaviour. For example if a deep beam spans between two shear walls, that beam will see a lot of action and releasing using modifiers might not be a good approach. Thanks.
  8. Looks like the error is related to properties. Have a look at this thread as it has some resources on non-linear modelling of masonry struts. https://www.sepakistan.com/topic/1343-seismic-assessment-and-retrofit-design-masonry-infills-and-general/#comment-2625 Thanks.
  9. You should search AISC Design Guide 1. It’s easily available on the internet. It is the best reference on steel column base plates. For concrete foundations, you can refer to text book like Nelson or McGregor. Hope this helps.
  10. Hi Shazeb, To answer your question, it should be story drifts. Interestingly i attend webinar today on FEMA and it they went over a detailed example. Please see attached and follow it. Thanks. FEMA P-2012 DetailedExample1_2021-04-19.pdf
  11. Apply to local offices. Islamabad has a lot of forms! Make sure you get sucked into a company that keeps you on u paid internships. Entertain paid jobs only. Apart from that, read code, books and literature. Good Luck. Thanks .
  12. You should have notes from undergraduate design on way foundation design! Sorry didn’t check the attachments but refer your college notes and a text book in doubt. Thanks.
