Redundancy Factor
Redundancy Factor
(OP)
Hi, everyone
I've been asked to calculate redundancy factor for a one story dwelling (wood shear walls). When I calculate This factor (rho) the number is negative. Do I have to assume p(rho)=1.0 or this one must be between 1 and 1.5.
Thank you

The redundancy factor is a means of penalizing lateral systems that are not redundant. You get penalized for not being redundant enough but you don't get a "reward" for being overly redundant.
