HI,
How to convert Vertical DL to Lateral Loads (x & z directions) with a factor. In my shipping/transportation load condition, I need to combine: Equipment dead weight with 0.3 lateral loads of dead weight in 2 directions x & z.
THANK YOU
For example,
**Shipping/Transportation Load Condition:
LOAD 2:
**Original DL:
JOINT LOAD
612 FY -750
613 FY -825
614 FY -1250
MEMBER LOAD
888 CON GY -1250
890 CON GY -400
887 CON GY -600 4
**0.3 Lateral Load in X-Dir
JOINT LOAD
612 FX 225
613 FX 247.5
614 FX 375
MEMBER LOAD
888 CON GX 375
890 CON GX 120
887 CON GX 180 4
**0.3 Lateral Load in Z-Dir
JOINT LOAD
612 FZ 225
613 FZ 247.5
614 FZ 375
MEMBER LOAD
888 CON GZ 375
890 CON GZ 120
887 CON GZ 180 4
