Hello All
Happy New Year
I have a question about the frame analysis method that should be selected to analyze abutment. When I choose "Cap as continuous beam" option, it shows "0" moment while the options "Piles integral with cap" shows significant change in moment values, so which option is more correct? Is there a specific case we should select one of them and not the other?
Thanks
