What is this probable shear? First, you need to remember that we already defined our seismic loads either by static definition or by response spectrum. In fact, this seismic load in combination to gravity loads is what will be used to derive the initial flexural reinforcement before we can perform check number 3 in my previous …

The benefits of parametric design Parametric design differs greatly from traditional 3D modeling and, of course, 2D CAD. It’s based on set rules and parameters, according to which the design is then generated, managed and modified. Modeling with parametric design has significant benefits that improve the design process and ensure that the ready design is …
