Hi guys,
I'm just wondering if it is possible to combine wind loads or live loads (Static) with the earthquake analysis (normal modes)?
I've performed my earthquake analysis by entering the response spectra directly, performing a normal modes, with the result being a conglomeration of a few different modes.
The problem is, I would like to normal everyday operational wind. In a normal modes analysis, it is not possible to include forces (as far as I'm aware).
Ideas?
