  1. Salaam All, Looking forward to develop a series of articles under the title of "SEFP Consistent Design". The aim is to provide simple and lucid examples for our Pakistani Engineers that use UBC 97; examples will serve as quick reference and try to clarify misconceptions prevalent in design offices. Anyone, who would like to volunteer on this is most welcome. As the name indicates, "consistent design" is meant to spread common understanding of complex code clauses that a design engineer faces on a day to day basis. e.g., calculating story stiffness, or designing a flexible diaphragm. Examples would be pure, and written by authors with copyrights to SEFP. Current target is to have at least 2 examples published per month. I hope this will help young engineering to develop a rock-solid understanding and design the right thing rather than saying yes to whatever they are told to follow.That's my goal. Any ideas, input, volunteering in appreciated. Thanks.

  2. After discussing from few others, i conclude that in etab ,elements which we define like slab , column beams for these elements etab take multiplier 1 (taking these as DEAD LOAD WITH MULTIPLIER 1) , due to self generation of these elements but when we define wall load (SUPER DEAD WITH MULTIPLIER 0 ) then there is no need to assign this wall load a multiplier of 1 because now we have define actual load not element.... Am i right what i conclude???
