Thank you Jae for your response.
I guess the answer is to apply Fp(calculated from formula 32-1) to ANY direction that will result worst condition for anchors. It might be more correct to combine Fp in two orthogonal directions on a SRSS basis. But I see no one does that. The code did say to...
I am trying to calculate a non-structural component seismic anchorage. The 1997 UBC says "Forces shall be applied in the horizontal directions". Does it mean the Fp needs to apply to both x and y directions or should I just pick one worst case, like smaller dimension direction?
I appreciate...
