Adding a linear load

[hızırex]

Dear Madam; Where there is a linear load in the figure, there is a wall load. My question is, I can apply some of the load to the right slab and some to the left slab as a linear load, but should I calculate the part of the load passing through the beam and load it on the beam as much as that weight, or does the linear load that passes through in this way directly affect both the beam and both floors? If this is the case, if we draw the wall loads as linear loads on the beams and floors (as in the figure), will all beams and floors have their own length loads? I am waiting for your help.. I hope I have been able to explain.. Thank you..

Hello, You can use linear loads on slab floors in a fully rigid diaphragm solution. Additional loads are not taken into account in rib and cassette flooring. I would suggest adding the wall loads to the cladding loads. Linear and point loads that you define on the beam are not taken into account. It should be defined on the floor. If you want to define a load on beams, select the beam and use the add load command in the right-click menu.

Hi Mr. Yasin, I know that with version 8, linear load can now be used in calculations for cassette and ribbed floors. Is it true?

Linear and point slab loads defined on rib and cassette slabs are not taken into account in the fully rigid diaphragm solution in 8 Version either. If you make a solution as a semi-rigid diaphragm, it will be taken into account.
