I was watching a video about Introduction to Earthquake Engineering and got stuck in this frame. If my memory serves me right, the moment resulting from that beam displacement would be clockwise and not counter clockwise as shown in the screenshot. Can anybody shed light on this for me. Thanks.
A noob question right here:
To analyze the reinforced concrete capacity via computation method: First, I have to know if all steel (compression and tension) yields or just some. The acquired load capacity is then compared to the required load. It's tedious work.
If I utilize the interaction...
Hello!
Can anybody confirm if my understanding of RC and steel's elastic/inelastic analysis and design are correct. I never found a straightforward answer from Google so maybe these are wrong. Can someone please help me, i'm trying to learn the basics.

For the given values of : ρ = 1.3, SDS = 1.10, the seismic load combinations are:
1.2D + 1.3QE + (0.2)(1.1)D + 0.5L = 1.42D + 1.3QE + 0.5L (Comb. 5)
when the signs of QE and D are the same, and...
