Вопрос:
Можно ли в программе RFEM 6 или RSTAB 9 выполнить автоматическое снижение полезной нагрузки по норме ASCE, IBC или NBCC?
Ответ:
Live load reduction is not considered automatically in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9. RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9 are general FEA and framework programs that do not understand what is a floor element vs. wall element. Only a general plate element is defined. It is not possible for the program to determine the area of a floor for live load reduction.
A user must manually consider the reduction by modifying the live load magnitude directly in the load application.
