A response spectrum analysis can be used in seismic design of structures.
My question is if the structure is built with thin gage cold formed panels and members would the analysis be accurate, assuming that non-linear behavior would be present due to large deflection?
Thanks
I know that there are several standards for acceptance levels of vibration for equipment rigidly supported. However,if a piece of equipment is supported by spring isolators, are there any acceptance levels on record. I would think that the equipment itself would have higher amplitudes of...
Has anyone had any experience with the ME Scope software program? Specifically, Modal Identification capabilities?
We are interested in comments from users of the equipment rather than the distributor's advertising. I would think that numerous points must be instrumented in order to accurately...
International Building Code, 2006 Edition
Section 6.5.15.1 states that the force on rooftop structures with an area less than 0.1*Bh should be increased by a factor of 1.9 if located on a building less than 60' tall.
Seems to me that if you were to plot the force on such a structure from 0 to...
