SDC D, special reinforced masonry, and amplified seismic Em
SDC D, special reinforced masonry, and amplified seismic Em
(OP)
I have looked through ACI 530 to see if it says my SDC D masonry has to be designed for amplified Em or regular E...nowhere it seems to say this...so is it just E=rho*Qe?
For my steel braced frames I am required to design the members for Em, so I thought masonry would require the same...
thanks
