Colleagues:
Another question, what is the main difference for anchor bolt and base plate desing between an ordinary and a ductile desing. Due to the different R value that is used, of course seismic forces are different. But is there any special consideration that must be taken?
Thanks!
Colleagues:
What is the consequence of having a building with horizontal irregularities #1a and 2, Table 12.3-1 ASCE 7-10? Seismic design category D. I understand that seismic forces have to be increased for connections to diaphragms and collectors (connections?. Is there any other impact?. I...

I am not familiar with ASCE 7-10 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, but I need to make the structural analysis and design of a building according to that document.
I undrestand thay I shall use basic load combinations of section 2.3.2 and combination 5 and 7...
Thank you, I hace checked border conditions and those beams are fixed. I am attaching the model, could you please give me your opinion?.

Colleagues:
I am modeling a 6500 m2 footprint building that has 2 levels and one partial basement. Intermediate level is an interstitial structure for cable tray, HVAC ducts, lighting fixture, and piping support. The second level is the roof. This building is a warehouse with a Datacenter...
Colleagues:
I am wondering if notional loads should be separated for live and dead loads for load combinations. In addition, should notional loads use corresponding load factor? or a unity load factor shall be used for notional loads?
Finally, in a dual system, for example peripherical...
