(1) If we assign some stories as "similar stories" then reinforcement requirement for beams in such stories will be displayed same eventhough it is different?
(2) I want to flush columns with beam face using "cardinal point". At a paticular node(point) beam width is oriented centrally. When i flush columns using "cardinal point", column is flushed with node and not with beam face. To flush beam and column i need to offset beam by half beam width. it is too labourous. Is there any simple way?
Manual input of offset by a value will be exact but when column size is reducing towards top it is difficult to give offset to all columns.
(3) I have 300 x 1200 mm column with two beams falling at different locations on columns. Actually column is defined at a point. So only one beam meets column at a point, other beam which is actually falling on this column will fall on beam suppored on this column. How rigidity can be achieved between these two points on column where beams are falling. people use master-slave option in STTAD. Is there any option in etabs?
(4) Many seismic codes states that any mass in between two floor leves (say brick masonry, column mass) shall be equally lumped to two connected floors (levels). To follow this codal provision, how brick masonry mass shall be modeled?
By default, how etabs is lumping masses between two levels to defined levels?
