Structure Mass for Rigid Diaphragm Modelling

When calculating the Structure Mass; structural geometry, element section sizes and external loads present in the structure are taken into consideration.

In the example below, the Structure Mass Calculation will be made in a project where a rigid diaphragm is accepted.

Open

Self weight of column beams and curtains

Open

Constant (G) Loads transferred from slab to beams and bulkheads

Open

Moving (Q) Loads Transmitted to Beams from Slab

Lift curtain G loading Axial forces

Lift curtain Q Loading Axial Forces

Axial forces of columns loading G

Axial forces of columns loading Q

Floor G and Q loads shown in floor parameters

Floor weights printed on the Floor General Information report

Storey masses used in dynamic analysis

Building weight and free mass of the building printed in earthquake parameters in reports

Build total mass printed in the Vibration Mode qualification check
