Odd Diaphragm Action, Response Sprecta

Tyler Weinbrecht — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 15:02:27 GMT

I'm getting bizarre diaphragm displacement, as seen in the snapshots below in the upper right corner of the plan view. This is only happening on Response Spectra Y- analyses. Y+ looks correct, along with both X-direction analyses. There is no issue with the static push (ELF). I've tried using multiple different mesh sizes but am getting the same results. Any thoughts? Thanks.

RAM Frame - No compression on column

Tyler Weinbrecht — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 18:49:30 GMT

I have two shared BRBF columns that are not calculating expected capacity forces of the braces. I've tried a number of items to make it work, but I haven't had any luck. It is saying "no compression on column" and "no tension on column." The most confusing part is I have similar frames in the other direction that look to be calculating properly. I was having difficulty getting those to calculate as well, but it was at least running a check.

Any thoughts? These are multi-tiered frames to support a bridge, with SMF above.
