Vertical In a plane discontinuity type structure, wood framed. I am attaching a sketch. Need to calculate beam below the shear wall that has a discontinuity. Shaded area are shear wall. I know how to apply dead and live loads but am not sure how to apply earthquake loads. Do I apply as a point...
How do you calculate beam and/or column with an overstrength factor? What do I do with omega? Multiply all loads with omega? Can anyone share an example?
