&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve understood that certain percentage of live load (25% or 50%) as per live load intensity shall be considered for seismic mass calculation as per IS 1893 : 2016, But nowhere it is mentioned in this code, about live load reduction in seismic load combinations e.g. 1.2(DL+LL+EQ)&amp;nbsp;becomes 1.2(DL + 25% of LL + EQ) = (1.2DL+ 0.3LL + 1.2EQ). Please clarify&amp;nbsp;with mentioning of&amp;nbsp;clauses from IS 1893 :&amp;nbsp;2016, that&amp;nbsp;would it be correct to consider&amp;nbsp;live load reduction&amp;nbsp;simultaneously in&amp;nbsp;seismic mass calculation, as well as in load combinations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Is pressure load is considered in STAAD.Pro for seismic load analysis????</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/158528/is-pressure-load-is-considered-in-staad-pro-for-seismic-load-analysis</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jul 2018 09:46:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:5cc69ac8-7a03-4030-a8b1-460aef632567</guid><dc:creator>Shuvam Sarkar</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Can anyone explain is pressure load is considered in STAAD.Pro for seismic load analysis????&amp;nbsp; Because some of my colleagues said that pressure load is not considered in STAAD.Pro for seismic load analysis.

I have read the technical manual references of STAAD and came across with some new terms like Convex hull &amp;amp; Delaunay triangulation principle. To be honest I&amp;#39;m a B.Tech graduate student and don&amp;#39;t have ideas about these words above, because I didn&amp;#39;t pass through the knowledge about finite element analysis. Please help me out with the simplest answers that I could follow in when to assign elastic mat and in which case have to assign plate mat spring constant and what will be the effects of these to the footings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>How can I visualise the difference between a fixed and enforced support in STAAD output results??</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/154599/how-can-i-visualise-the-difference-between-a-fixed-and-enforced-support-in-staad-output-results</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 May 2018 18:08:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:93825306-795e-4439-9f26-53a089e2bb7a</guid><dc:creator>Shuvam Sarkar</dc:creator><description>&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:75%;"&gt;Visualise the difference between a fixed and enforced support&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am unable to visualise the theoretical difference between the two supports in STAAD post processing mode for a sway frame with plate assigned at supports. I have tried once with the fixed support and in second attempt with enforced support, but displacement and reactions are same in both the cases. Can anyone please identify the reason and come with the way to how can I be able to see the difference in results by these two supports???&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ask A Question I</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/achievements/460ac7df-7ccc-4c42-a204-9e05eef3be09</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 May 2018 02:13:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:4b753251-e301-4aef-b278-d264d429fc50</guid><dc:creator /><description>Ask a question in a forum.</description></item></channel></rss>
