basement curtain/short joists

[alyjeex]

Take it easy guys. As a final homework, I am doing the static analysis of the 17-storey building. I cannot upload it because the size of the project is large. My question is about converting the beams in the basement to curtains. In my project, I have beams with a clean span of 80 cm. When I make them curtains, I get an error of 1e7. That is, since the min curtain length is 25/175. Regardless of this error, I should make these beams curtain or is there another method? Thanks

You can make curtains in the basement even if it does not comply with the 1/7 rule. Mark the curtain as "Flood/Do not continue to Upper Floors"

Thank you sir. Take it easy

You can make curtains on the basement floor even if it doesn't comply with the 1/7 rule. Mark the curtain as "Flood / Panel that does not continue to the upper floors"
