EXAMPLE 2. FORMAL STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 2: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 34 For this example you will select only the EC8 dynamic earthquake scenarios, as well as the Snow Typical, Wind 0 and Wind 90 scenarios, which were automatically created by the program in the previous step. The Wind 180 and Wind 270 scenarios are not necessary, as this vector is symmetric. In the usual carriers with linear members, "Renumbering" is not necessary, in large carriers it is recommended, while in carriers with surface members it is necessary to option "Cuthill-Mckee(II) recount". With the EC8 scenario selected Dynamic the Properties - Members command includes the property value multipliers of the linear members. The program automatically selects, depending on the scenario regulation, the corresponding inertial multipliers so any modification is optional. With the EC8 Dynamic script selected the " Nodes " command displays the following dialog box:
