Shear Capacity Adjustment Factor, Co
Shear Capacity Adjustment Factor, Co
(OP)
I've been recently incorporating some perforated shearwalls into some of designs and feel that I have decent understanding of the provisions found in the SDPWS-2008. However, I thought I might use equations 4.3-5 and 4.3-6 (Sugiyama's eqn.) to compute the adjustment factor (Co) instead of having to double interpolate table 4.3.3.5. I am finding that my computed value is always slightly greater than the tabulated value, perhaps I am somehow calculating this incorrectly. I was wondering if anyone else has ran into this same issue or noticed anything similar?

It doesn't actually calculate anything yet but I think the basic interface is slowly emerging. Let me know what you think and also what features or improvements would make the interface better and easier to use.
I plan on calculating Co using the equations in the SDPWS which will mean that my values will not be as conservative if someone were to use table 4.3.3.5.
