assalamualaikum,
I am working with a task at this moment with a steel shed structure. the problem I am facing is, I have modelled the cable bracings as tension only and also pinned. also the cases are made nonlinear. in the analysis result, those cables do no show any axial compression which is good as per idealization. but when I run the design then many of the cables are found to fail under compression giving PMM value say 150 or alike. whats the solution to it? why aren't they getting designed for tension? thanks.
