Hello!

How can i create a balcony in Seismostruct? I found it in Seismobuild, but may be it possible in Seismostruct?

Thank you!

Dear sanya greek,

The Building Modeller facility is also available in SeismoStruct. But, as it is noted in SeismoStruct's User Manual: "Slabs are modelled in SeismoStruct as rigid diaphragms that connect the beams, columns and walls in their perimeter and as additional loads applied to the beams. Obviously, in the case of cantilevered slabs no rigid diaphragm is created and a slab is only considered as additional mass on the supporting beam; the additional mass account for the slabs' permanent and live loads.". Hence, you should just consider the additional mass of the cantilever slab on the supporting beam.
