Notional horizontal forces
Notional horizontal forces
(OP)
Hopefully a quick question:
In the UK steel code, there is a requirement for frames to resist a notional horizontal force, in the absence of greater actual horizontal forces.
This notional horizontal force is defined as 0.5% of the factored vertical load.
Do US codes make a similar provision?

notional load become more significant in the concrete structure which equal to 1.5% of dead load as BS8110.
