SDC A
SDC A
(OP)
I have recently "inherited" a couple of projects from co-workers who have left to pursue other opportunities. Both are in the construction phase, so I am just reviewing shop drawings and answering field questions.
Both projects are in SDC A. However, on the Design Loads sheet for each project, a value for Cs > 0.01 is listed. The value given is equal to SDS/(R/I), which would be correct for any other SDC besides SDC A.
I always thought if your structure is SDC A, you are automatically permitted to use 0.01W, regardless of what SDS/(R/I) is calculated to be.
Or am I missing something?
