hello everybody, how can i calculate the additional mass on beams , from this eq. f= mg? , if loads as follows (floor cover 1.5 and live load 4 KN/m2)can you give me a simple example with values to calculate add. mass ? , i hope i get respond soon

dear zoi i done and applied what you advice me , but i meet some problems with my model so i done it in 2d and not working also if you didn't mind take a look ,and tell me particularly what i must do https://www.dropbox.com/s/yweamha175mcdq2/2dmode.spf?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/zvm7ej7ax7kh7y7/...

Thanks for responding dear zoi,if you didn't mind can you tell me how calculate the intial stiffness and post-peak stiffness for frp bars or give me a suggestion about paper or book to calculate the intial stiffness and post-peak stiffness by equation?

Hi,everybody
When I define the material as FRP (FRP-tl) i cannot define the modules of Elasticity ,how can i do that

dear zoi
i go to your recommended subject ,it related with FRP sheets , and my model reinforced with FRP bars , i want to KNOW if i am thinking right or not if replaced steel bar with FRP bars , the connection type of colomn -beam remain as it or what?

hi, again i have a question confused me about the connection between column and beams in case i reinforced it with FRP , i think that( infrmFPH ) will not be correct if used it , because the plastic hinge formed after the steel bar reached the yielding, so in case FRP there is no yield that mean the...

Dear Seismosoft Thank you for that valuable informations But i have some questions 1 -if i use con_tl ( scott model) on what basis; i took the values of intial stiffness and post-peak stiffness 2- how can i define the yield strength of stirrups،because i notice that program took the yield strength o...

Dear huff /seismosoft
I'm really need to answer me ,i stoped working in model and i needs answers to continue

part2...... 3- the material type i used in model depend on mander et al 1988 model , so in that case it is supposed to be a residual strength, is that correct? 4-i am using infrmFBH ,as you know , the two integration section ( section a &b)that shown at stress & strain output is indication f...

dear huff thank you for encouragement the attached pic ,showed what I meant for beams https://www.dropbox.com/s/05zh96qv91jfpyj/intersection%20of%20beams.PNG?dl=0 i have some questions, and i hope you have leniency with my frequently asked questions 1- for performance criteria if i run my model with...
