Structure Mass for Flexible 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 flexible diaphragm is accepted.
Self weight of floor column beams and curtains
No Fixed (G) and Live (Q) Loads transferred from the floor to beams and curtains
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
