Etabs 2013 - ASCE-10 Base Shear Different from Hand Check
(OP)
I am using ETABS 2013 to run an analysis on a 5 storey precast bldg. I wanted to use ASCE 10 equivalent method to develop the base shear on the structure. The problem is I calculated the base shear around 720 kips and ETABS is registering 220 kips. I looked at the parameters and I have in all the factors (R, omega & Cd) correctly. I really do not know what I'm doing wrong.
