This message is created by specifying the element name and floor on which it is located at the beginning of the report.
For example,
SC001 BASE STORY Strong column/weak beam criteria is not fulfilled.
AISC 341-16 E3, and TBDY 2018 9.3.2, in the earthquake direction considered, at each beam-column node of highly ductile steel frames with special moment frame. The following relationship shall be satisfied at beam-to-column connections.
Column-Beam Moment Ratio Check for SMF per AISC 341-16 with ideCAD
Solutions:
-
The cross-sectional dimensions of columns whose names and floors are given can be enlarged.
-
Columns can be connected to beams in the direction of their strong axes.
-
If the structure is suitable, beam dimensions can be reduced accordingly.
Symbols
Mpc : Sum of the projections of the nominal flexural strengths of the columns above and below the joint
Mpb : Sum of the projections of the expected flexural strengths of the beams at the plastic hinge locations to the column centerline, kip-in.
