Pseudo Flexible Diaphragm and Lateral Frame in Two Directions
We have a large warehouse that has multiple frames in each direction, which essentially frame a grillage of frames in the N-S and E-W direction. We want to utilize Pseudo flexible diaphragms as this is also a dual system which has exterior concrete walls…
Pseudo-flexible diaphragm dual frame column numbers
I have a building with many columns that are part of a frame in both orthogonal directions. So the column is a moment frame in one direction and functions as a braced frame in the other direction for example. There doesn't appear to be a way to have these…
RE: Difference between wall with openings and individual walls
The difference is in the total applied load
force
wind Y
model 1
127 k
model 2
343 k
As reported in the Loads and Applied force report (and also in the analysis log total reactions).
The reason for the difference is…
