Hi Ouseppachan, Computer modelling is always an attempt to simulate as best as possible actual behaviour and is never 100% accurate. In your case, it will depend much on relative stiffness of beams
Hi Ouseppachan, If you have one-way spanning slabs, then just model main beams and secondary beams and use the special one-way membrane elements for the slabs. If you have 2-way spanning slabs, then
hi Priyantha, This is normally used when describing the internal forces for designing a pile cap or deep beam, using two struts (at angles of between 40-60 degrees)for compression forces and a tie,
Dear Suraj There is no strict decision about the quality of brick. Usage of bricks depends on your work. There are 4 main parameters for the bricks to be suitable: 1- weight 2- strength 3- degree
Dear Saad Usually in the case of shell element , we are faced with a phenomenon known as in plane and out of plane behaviour which in turn is related to stiffness and strength. Suppose a sheet of
