Dear Community,
I´m designing a slab foundation mat for a pipe rack and some vertical vessel, I have already designed the structure with STAAD Pro, and now I’d like to attack the model some plates “mesh” and estimate the base pressure, overturning and sliding as part of the checks required.
I designed the structure using a dynamic analysis, now I’d like how I can perform the analysis of the concrete slab using the structure, since they have all the reactions. Also there are 6 vertical vessels along the pipe rack that I do have so far is weight full and empty and I’d need to apply wind and seismic loads which I think I can get them and apply them as nodal loads, for a better visual of what I’m trying to describe please see the picture below.
Thanks.
