SEISMIC

Question

SIR I WANT TO KONW WHY MASS IS PROVIDED IS PROVIDED IN GX AND GZ DIRECTION IN MASS REFERENCE LOAD CASE.

AndrejLogunov · Answer

Hi, 
 It is not necessarily the mass load has to be directed in X or Z only - it can be applied in all three directions. Please refer to STAAD.Pro Help manual chapter TR.31.8.3 Mass Model Using Reference Load.

Sye · Answer

If you are using the equivalent static seismic load generations, you can only apply the loads in the lateral direction X and Z.
