stiffness reduction of link beams on etabs
what would be a good value for stiffness modifiers in etabs? is there any rule of thumb on how to evaluate those?
thanks!
check out our whitepaper library.
for link beams, we have used values ranging from 10% to 25%. look at the concrete book by park & paulay, it may have more info.
