Dear Sir / Mam,
If modelling done for structural wall system of a structure in seismic zone IV & V, ( X axis & Z axis being horizontal & Y axis being vertical)
(instead of moment frame) the structural wall system has to receive UDL of floor slab & terrace slab along " Y " direction.
But I am finding limitation in STAAD. In my understanding,the surface elements can not be loaded along " Y " direction as per
the existing provisions in STAAD. Kindly clarify above please.
