hi, just to inquire about this part in the calculation sheet. Soil pressure summary is to include only service load as what I understand. but I noticed Primary Load is included in the calculation sheet. In the attachment, Load Case 3 is a primary load. TIA
A primary load case is treated as a service load case as well as an ultimate load case. Hence, it is considered in all calculations which are meant for service load types, and in all calculations which are meant for ultimate load types.
Thanks for the reply Kris Sathia. Is there an option that SFA can select only service load combination excluding primary loads in the soil pressure summary even though primary loads are included in the Job Setup? If none, can it be included in the next version? Tnx.
At present, there is no option to do so. We will consider this as an enhancement in the future versions.
ok thanks a lot...Also I want to suggest also to add an option 'USE ULTIMATE LOAD CASE ONLY' under the section 'moment envelope generation' as there are only 2 options.... TIA
If your goal is to use only service and ultimate load cases for your analysis and design, why are you including primary load cases in the job?
