No removal scenario yet
Add a removal scenario to record its inputs, capacity and governing check.
Learning objectives
- Run notional removal scenarios
- Check alternate load paths
- Design continuity ties
Engineering judgment
- Redundancy is designed, not hoped for.
- Continuity ties are cheap insurance.
