Assalamu alikum all,
I have two query about performing equivalent static analysis in Etabs. When we perform equivalent static analysis in Etabs, is it require to perform it in cracked section frames? If we are interested to perform P-Δ analysis, cracked section is required, but if we are not interested to perform P-Δ analysis, then is cracked section required?
My second query is for compatibility torsion in a beam, what is the rules for reducing torsional value in Etabs? Can we nullify full torsion in these beam (0.001) or can we reduce some torsion (e.g. say 0.5 or 0.25) in these beam?
Sorry for my bad English,thanks in advanced.
