I am working on design of a column using NBC 2015. Base Shear calculations performed by Compress calculates the Base Shear using NBC 2015 and reduces it be multiply 2/3 to it. The argument is that NBC 2015 is based on Limit State Design whereas ASME is based on Allowable Stress Design.

Has anyone of you encountered this issue? Can you throw some light on it?

Thank you.
