Hi
I am using seismostruct to model masonry infill in RC structures. I need to check the base shear as well as base reaction. Can anyone help me at this object.
Base shear and base reaction
Re: base shear and base reaction
Hi Rajen,
What is your definition of base shear vs. base reaction?
If the distinction that you have in mind is that base shear is the sum of the shear forces at the ground-storey elements whilst the base reaction is the sum of the horizontal reactions at the supports, then the way in which you check those is simple; just to go the Post-Processor and retrieve both quantities.
But perhaps there is something in your query that I am missing?
Best,
Rui
