Question:

Hi there,

For the analysis report of the attached model, if you look at Tabl 1523_I cell H75(before composite) and compare it with Cell 177(after composite). Why does the demand decreases in after composite case (7885.14)?

Thanks,

Answer:

Hi,

This is happening because the governing load combinations are different between before composite and after composite. The governing load combinations are LCB 8 and LCB 1 for 'before composite' and 'after composite', respectively.

Regards,
DK Lee
