Dear Users,
Does anybody have any idea why in ETABS and SAP2000 seismic loadings for EUROCODE8 are calculated based on weight and not mass.
The formula in code is (Fb = Sd * m * Lambda) but in lateral force manual which comes with these softwares it is stated as (Fb = Sd * W * Lambda) and by...
Thank you guys for your replies.
I think I it is a good idea for me to use UBC 1997 to check the drift which requires the engineer to include P-Delta analysis + cracked section properties.
Dear users,
I'm new to BS code and I'm modeling a building with notional and wind loadings based on BS 6399-2:1997. However, I' was not able to find the code specified limit to check the lateral displacement.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
