BIM Q&A | How to Manually Calculate if There Is a Similar Top Pressure on the Shear Wall of Guanglian Da
Hi, how can I manually determine if there is a similar top pressure acting on the shear wall of Guanglian Da?
When calculating steel reinforcement, there is no top pressure considered. Instead, if you want to detail the steel bars, you can use beams or ring beams as alternatives. In the graphic interface, the header is located under the ‘Other’ category. In other sections of the navigation bar, you will find the option for top pressure. You can define the top pressure there and then proceed to draw it.
Usually, an intelligent layout method is preferred, with options for arranging either along the wall centerline or the fence centerline. Placing the reinforcement inside the roof area is correct; however, beams or ring beams can also be used instead of the roof structure.
I hope this helps. Thank you.
