EXAMPLE 3. NON-STANDARD STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 3: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 25 Similarly, in the snow parameters window: Specify the Topography that determines the values of the coefficients Ce and Ct, the Zone and select for Greece Planning Condition A. 3.1.2 Wall Treatment Then, via "Edit> " Walls ", we define the walls per direction for the calculation of the Equivalent Wall. We start, for example, from the wall on the left, perpendicular to wind direction 0. give the program the length (b) and height (h) for each wall (Left, Front, Right, Back), simply by clicking on and selecting each time with the mouse the 2 ends of the wall in the corresponding direction, viewing the vector in 3D. Our goal is to define all the wall sections that are perpendicular to the wind direction 0, in a graphical way, using and showing the wall points to determine the length (b) and height (h) of each section, per level. ▪ For fixing the first part of the first floor: press the next to b(m) and point with the mouse to the 2 ends of its length, then press next to h(m) and point with the mouse to the 2 ends of its height.
