What is the difference between thin and thick shell?
Shell problems generally fall into one of two categories: thin shell problems and thick shell problems. Thick shell problems assume that the effects of transverse shear deformation are important to the solution. Thin shell problems, on the other hand, assume that transverse shear deformation is small enough to be neglected. The inclusion of transverse shear…

Use of Diaphragm Properly in Etabs Explained in Depth
First we need to know about Diaphragm Constraint, Rigid & Semi-rigid diaphragm. Lets start- Diaphragm Constraint: We know what are restraint joints (Supported individually) & constraint joints (Connected to each other so their translation & rotation happen together). Diaphragm constraint is planar constraint connecting joints in a plane. Constraint joints can be connected in horizontal,…

Stair Modeling Clarification in Etabs as it may consider a Stair Slab as wall area object.
As per one case study, Etabs considers Slabs maintaining slope more than 3.63/10 as Wall area object. Whatever it considers that is not our concern, concern is-we have to be careful while using stiffness modifier for slab & wall (as they are different for each, for stair we will use modifier same as Slab). Although…
