    What are Boundary Conditions?

    Yeong-il SeoJanuary 27, 2022

    OVERVIEW

    Boundary conditions represent the status of connections between the structure and neighboring structures such as foundations. Boundary conditions are distinguished by nodal boundary conditions and element boundary conditions.

    Nodal boundary conditions:

    The constraint for the degree of freedom
    Elastic boundary element (Spring support)
    Elastic link element (Elastic Link)

    Element boundary conditions:

    Element end release
    Rigid end offset distance (Beam End Offset)
    Rigid link

    Design Considerations during Construction

    Yeong-il SeoJune 15, 2021

    OVERVIEW

     

    There are cases where the design must be satisfied for two or more conditions for the same structure. In general, the design needs to be performed considering the load during construction and the load in use at the same time, as shown below. In this document, I will introduce how to perform two analyses simultaneously.
