surface or wall model

The mode shape is different in STAAD pro v.8 by modelling the shear wall as a surface and as a wall (parametric model) , any help will be appreciated to know the safest model

the negative sign (-) of the force FY value in surfaces it is a compression or tension

Hi everyone,

please I use staad pro for modeling, I want to know the negative sign (-) of the force FY value of shear wall (surface) ( FY = -800 KN for example) it is a compression or tension

thanks

How to interpret Surface Forces in STAAD?

Dennis Dolor — Wed, 31 Aug 2016 14:53:12 GMT

Hello -

I'm working on a project with concrete shear walls as the main lateral force resisting system. From my reading it appears using a surface model would be best (but please correct me if i'm wrong). I found a sample STAAD file SURFACEMODEL.STD and need help interpreting the results. After running the file, in post-processing I see two result tabs "Surface forces at X (local)" and "Surface forces at local Y (local)"...why? What forces do I use to design my shear wall? I would appreciate any help.

Thanks! Dennis
