dear all;
i observe that the problem still appears in current edition,
i got very small capacity along section (c) manly
best;

dear zoi;
i got the problem solved by increasing number of steps but
i got a very weak response even lesser than the original structure
please any help;
best

Dear Zoi;
since i do not extend the steel sheets to the beams/foundation, how could i model that hollow section to get the shear demand imposed on it and not having the the effect of such jacket on the global stiffness?

dear seismostruct team; i used the latter suggestion to model a retrofitting of concrete rectangular section with steel sheets and i calculate the total shear capacity of the retrofitted section and assign it to the concrete cross section then i push the structure (the jacketed structure ) using pus...

dear all; i m trying to add some vertical wide-column to existing structure; i made the Eigenvalue analysis with activation time 0.01 for these new shear wall and i observed that the natural period does not changed , which is expected since the new shear wall is not activated in this stage then i us...

dear all; i m wondering why is the value of the shear demand ( and the corresponding capacity for sure as a result ) is getting to be smaller than the step before, since i m expecting the shear to increase as the lateral lode increase (pushover analysis) and because i m not assigning and strength de...

dear all; how i could see the enhanced section capacity in term of shear for a retrofitted beam ? i cant see any modification in the shear capacity after retrofitting a beam with 0.001 of sheet using both method: 1- in section module : introducing the FRP jacket 2- as a hollow rectangular section an...

dear Seismostruct team;
i still need a clarification;
any help;
best;

no i did not calculate any, i just use the default value of crushing strain of concrete to check all columns
do i need to calculate any thing ??

dear all; regarding to the shear capacity criteria implemented in the software, i m observing that the automatic calculated values in "section characteristic" module are being used to check the overall shear strength even when activating the "include the concrete and axial force contr...
