AISC 341-16 Seismic Design in RFEM 6
The Steel Design add-on in RFEM 6 now offers the ability to perform seismic design according to AISC 341-16. Five types of seismic force-resisting systems (SFRS) are currently available.
- I have a 3D model and try to split it up into "walls" and "surfaces" with the Building Model and to calculate them separately. However, my structural system becomes unstable then. What can be the reason?
- Which Limit State Types are applicable for the AISC 341 seismic design?
- How can I connect surfaces to other surfaces or members in a hinged/semi-rigid way? What are Line Hinges and Line Releases?
