3D Effects of Continuous Primary & Secondary Beams Analysis

Summary Advancing Beam Analysis: A Unified Approach Integrated Beam Analysis improves upon traditional methods where continuous beam lines are analyzed and designed in isolation. Engineers often rely on simplified or unsophisticated support conditions, which fail to fully reflect the actual structural behavior. For instance, secondary beams supported by primary beams are typically analyzed separately in two independent processes. […]

3D Sway Effects of Multi Storey Building

Summary Understanding Structural Sway Under Vertical Loads Many structures naturally sway under vertical (gravity) loads. While this sway is typically minimal, it can sometimes introduce significant changes to the expected moment diagrams in beams. These changes may affect the overall performance and safety of the structure, requiring engineers to account for sway in their design calculations. Effects […]
