Lesson 1: Introduction to Shearwalls
Lesson 4: Shearwall Design: Capacity vs. Deflection Based Force Distribution
Résumé du cours

Partie 1 : Informations sur le projet et données structurelles

Please note that this lesson has seven parts. As such, there will be only one quiz and assignment which can be found at the end of the Seismic Information and Seismic Irregularities video.

Introduction

This video provides an overview of Shearwalls, focusing on project information and structural data. It explains how users can navigate the Program’s extensive result pages using the “Go to Table” tool to access key sections like load summaries, seismic analysis, and design parameters. The video also covers shear wall configurations, material properties, and optimization techniques, including automatic grouping of walls with similar attributes. By allowing users to leave certain details unspecified, the Program can generate the most efficient material and fastener combinations for shearwall design.

Résultats de l'apprentissage

A la fin de cette leçon, vous serez capable de :

  • Navigate Program results by utilizing the “Go to Table” feature to efficiently access key sections such as load summaries, seismic analysis, and design parameters in Shearwalls.
  • Analyze structural data and shearwall configurations by interpreting project details, material properties, and height-to-length ratios for shear resistance calculations.
  • Optimize shearwall design through the use of automated grouping and material selection features to streamline the configuration of walls, fasteners, and structural framing.
  • Evaluate design decisions by leveraging software-generated data to determine efficient material and fastener combinations for shearwall construction.
