Two-storey building
This two-storey reinforced concrete (RC) building consists of 155 nodes, 143 members, and 16 plate elements. One notable feature is the modeling of the footing depth as part of the support conditions, enhancing the accuracy of the structural response. The ground level includes tie beams that act as fixed joints, especially useful in structures with pinned supports, where moments are typically released. These tie beams allow the joint to resist moment forces, improving stability. While true fixed supports are rare, they can often be assumed when soil conditions and footing design meet the criteria, an important consideration in residential structural design.
