Orthogonal Load Combinations for Seismic Drift Calculation
Orthogonal Load Combinations for Seismic Drift Calculation
(OP)
I know this has been brought up on here before, but I couldn't really find a consensus. If the orthogonal load combinations are required for seismic design, are they also used for seismic drift computation as well? Thanks in advance.
