B31E/ Dynamic design by analysis - 11/04/16 10:47 AM
All,
In addition to B31.3, I have been requested to evaluate the seismic stresses based on B31E Code.
I'm ruining the latest version of Caesar software and as you may know , the B31E code has not been addressed directly in the software. I'm looking to build a set of load cases and allowable stresses per section 3.4 of B31E. Is this something that I can do in the software or I have to calculate the stresses and allowable limits manually and compare. Any suggestions for the appropriate load cases?
P.s. : On the case I'm working on, I'm dealing with both inertial forces and Pseudo-static anchor displacements.
Your inputs are much appreciated!
Thanks,
MYJ
