hello, Juice, Yasir,
Plz correct (guide) me if i am wrong :
(1) Two way slabs shall be modelled as SHELL and need meshing
(2) One way slabs shall be modelled as MEMBRANE and NO need meshing
(3) Stiffnes modifiers for beams,columns,walls,slabs needed on when nonlinear
analysis not performed.
(4) ETABS only gives area of reinforcement for columns & beams (section to be
designed & not to be checked) and not the dia of bars and its arrangement.
(5) for beam we get steel requirement at column face, mid span only and not at
other sections of beam. How to decide upto which distance extra top steel at
support and extra stirrups at end required?
Regards
