“…This is not a calculation error but a confirmation of the phenomenon of force centring for vertical actions described by Seim und Sommerlade [6], [7]. The big surprise here is that the largest values occur in the 3rd floor and not, as perhaps expected, in the ground floor area.…”

“…The big surprise here is that the largest values occur in the 3rd floor and not, as perhaps expected, in the ground floor area. This is not a calculation error but a confirmation of the phenomenon of force centring for vertical actions described by Seim und Sommerlade [6], [7]. This will be discussed again in the second part of this article [8].…”

“…Dies ist kein Rechenfehler, sondern eine Bestätigung des von Seim und Sommerlade [6], [7] beschriebenen Phänomens der Kraftzentrierung für vertikale Einwirkungen. Allerdings erstaunt hier, dass die größten Werte im 3.…”

“…Unter Einbezug des Konvergenzverlaufs lässt sich sagen, dass die Variante mit Kontaktstäben aufgrund der In the second part of the article [8], the modelling with contact elements will be illustrated as an application study of a four-storey building. The load transfer of vertical and horizontal actions of the FE model will also be compared with the simplified calculation process presented by Seim and Sommerlade [6], [7].…”
