After establishing the design loads of the proposed project, the next thing to consider is to determine the appropriate design load combinations. Generally, load combination is composed of individual loads, i.e. dead load superimposed dead loads and live loads…

Modeling a proposed project with a regular geometric plan in SAFE/ETABS is as easy as one, two, three; you can actually model it manually. But how can we model a complex geometry accurately without sacrificing our time? This…

Long Term-Deflection in slabs/beams is the deflection or the deformation that occurs over time due to shrinkage and temperature. It is also influenced by the condition of the cracking before loading, then creeping, which depends on the time…
