Hi Expert
I want to know about zero weight rigid stiffness in CAESAR (as a construction element). I already seach the forum but i can't find any post describing about zero weight stiffness specifically.
Is it also calculated as a pipe with the same ID and 10*thickness like stated on caesar guide? and if it's calculated as stated on caesar guide, why it'll not deflect in wind load case?
this question is raised when i came up with different method on modeling high rises column which column swaying might occur due to wind exposure.
please kindly advise me on this one and share how to model high rises column.
thank you very much

quoting mr Richard on another thread about tank:
...
On that "vertical" element, you typically don't want to call this one rigid. Vessels/Tanks are just big pipes as far as CAESAR II is concerned. These elements should be normal pipes of the correct diameter and thickness. (Now the "dummy" going horiziontal to your nozzle should be rigid.)
The reason you want to avoid calling your vessel/tank elements rigid is so that they can deflect if you apply a wind load. If they are rigid, they won't deflect.
