Dear Muneeb
When I design this beam as simply supported beam it gives large value for shear. Any advice on how to design/model this properly
Thanks
Tristan
I am modeling some roof beams in SAP 2000. I wanted to know if I can assign lateral bracing to the top flange at the points where purlins are been attached to roof beam present in Design > Lateral Bracing option in SAP 2000? If not, why?
While designing a high-rise structure, I encountered an issue. The client requested the slabs to be designed as post-tensioned flat slabs. However, I am aware that flat slabs are not suitable for seismic-resistant design and should not be used in high seismic zones. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any direct clauses in the codes addressing this issue. If seniors can provide a reference from the code specifying not to design post-tensioned flat slabs in high seismic zones, it would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a link. Hope it help

or
You can use FEMA-356 chapter 7, section 7.5 for linear and nonlinear modelling of infill walls.
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.
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.
