GSE Features
TECHNICAL FEATURE // GSE SOFTWARE: LIVE LOAD REDUCTION
The live load reduction is available for the GSE steel, concrete, aluminum, and wood modules. The live load reduction will be applied to the columns of the structure. Live loads can be automatically reduced according to the selected method. The software computes the live load reduction factor (LLRF) that will reduce the effective axial compression force in columns.
When there is no live load reduction, Cf is equal to Cf (ana).
When the live load reduction is enabled, Cf is the effective compression force.
For a specific combination used in the compression limit states design, the effective compression force Cf (positive value for compression) will be computed based on the following equation.

Variable anchorage slip in wood shearwalls
To enhance productivity of GSE Timber software’ users, the Anchorage Elongation Method can be defined as variable (tension only) and variable (tension and compression). The anchorage slip is calculated at each iteration according to the tension efforts at the anchorage locations.
Fatigue limit state
HSE users can efficiently set and edit all required fatigue parameters for the structure allowing to consider all applicable fatigue loads such as Galloping, Natural Wind Gust, or Truck-Induced Gust.
