Structure Mass for Flexible Diaphragm Modelling

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
