Pattern loading for Live Load and how to apply pattern load in ETABS?
Pattern Loading is not about Load Patterns. Pattern Load is related to Live load variation. Live Load is generally considered uniform in most buildings. Structural engineers while performing the analysis using ETABS apply the live load uniformly on all slabs. Pattern live load is the variation in live load from span to span in a continuous slab in a building. It can create different forces than uniformly distributed live load. Hence it needs to be accommodated in ...
