Hi everyone, i have just study eurocode 8 to calculate seismic for building.
One of important conditions is normalised axial force v_d =< 0.65. - EC8 section 5.4.3.2.1
where : v_d = N / f_cd.
f_cd = f_ck / γ_C. ( EC2 - section 2.4.2.4)
I have question about γ_C , because γ_C has two values, that is 1.2 and 1.5.
so, in this case ( seismic ) which should value of γ_C is use , can you quota specific of code section?
