  • Distribution of Load from Large Antenna

    OpenTower Designer distributes the gravity loads and wind loads of an antenna in all the legs of a Tower for better efficiency. The intersection points of a horizontal plane(X- Z) passing through the centroid of the antenna with the legs of a tower are…

  • Pile layout and Load distribution

    Document Information Document Type: FAQ Product(s): LEAP RCPIER/ Substructure Version(s): All Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group - VM QUESTION: Is the compressive loads on each pile being distributed based on the section properties…

  • Distribution of Gravity Loads to Walls In RAM Frame

    How does RAM Frame distribute gravity loads to shear walls? I had some questions after working in a larger model and so I created a test file as described below: I used RAM Structures to model a small cube-shaped building that is 10' wide, by 10' long…

  • SACS Rigid Module - Modal Load Vector Creation

    Dear Bentley Staffs, I have a question about Load Vector create by Rigid Module. I did a simple check and found something strange. See picture below. The column has mass of 1000kN at the top node and 100kN at the middle node. Load Distribution…

  • Load types

    Application PLAXIS 3D Version PLAXIS 3D 2010.01 Date created 09 May 2011 Date modified 09 May 2011 All three load types of PLAXIS 3D, point load, line load and surface load, are explained and demonstrated in this…

  • 1-way deck distributing loads in other direction

    I have modeled a square one-way slab supported by 4 walls with 'other' material and have applied a surface live load of 40 psf. Theoretically, I would expect that only two walls would take all the load from the slab, but, both RAM Frame and RAM Concrete…

  • Is it effective to use plates for designing slabs?

    Dear members, I want to discuss whether a 4-noded plate is sufficient to represent as a slab or proper meshing along with the supporting beams is required to distribute the load uniformly over the supporting beams. Because if we do not mesh it properly…
