what is our ultimate goal by making reduction in members stiffnesses in softwares ?? i know the concept but i do not know the sense behind this in terms of the practical advantages will get after doing this and what will happen if we did not . -

hi engineers , May i know why we have to rely on meshing to govern our programe results and hence the design , if result is going to be affected by meshing how colud we get the accurate result for safe design ??? and to what limit can we depend on meshing ? -
Just use excel. Make a simple worksheet listing bar dia, number, length for each element. Bar weight tables are available online. OR If its a building and you have the Etabs model. Run the detailer, it will give weight of steel required for each floor or member wise. Staad Pro also gives total steel weight and concrete volume for the model -

W/Salaam, Do you know Python? You can use ChatGPT or any other AI platform to write code for python or any other language. It can probably create a visual basic script for you as well that you can use in excel. Thanks. -
Assalam u Alaikum, I need a software for bar bending schedule and ultimately calculating the weight of steel. I am a structural engineer and this quantity calculation is not my field but I need it for some specific task. Can someone guide me which software free or pirated is available out there? -

Hi friends Please I need detailed calculation about how we can considered accidental torsion for response spectrum. If there is any hand calculation example it will be better. Thanks in advanced -

Hi, I have a similar scenario where the truss is subjected to both wind and temperature loading. I have assigned a hinge and roller support to the truss; the roller is translating in both directions because of wind and temp loading. To accommodate movement, I am using a ball bearing with stopper plates to restrict excessive displacement while providing the necessary deflection allowance. My Questions: 1. If the ball bearing comes into contact with the stopper plate at its extreme deflection limit, will the connection start behaving like a hinge? If so, do I need to check my truss supporting beam for additional reactions due to hinge behavior? 2. Would using a Teflon bearing plate solve this issue, or would it also behave like a hinge once it reaches its displacement limit? ( I donot know teflon plate behaviour) For example, if the truss deflection exceeds the allowable displacement range of the Teflon plate, will it introduce unintended forces at the connection? just like roller and stopper plate connection Would appreciate insight, Thank you Please advice -

Hi, Greetings sagacious colleagues, As per the attached pictures, could anybody assist me regarding the following concerns, Why is NDT required, if not why? Method of repair and what will be the plan on the damaged reinforcement, especially the main bar, will it be cut and use a new one through spliced (welding, stirrups, etc.)? Which type of material is to be required? Thank you. -
