Seismic Structural Seperation
Seismic Structural Seperation
(OP)
A quick question for the seismically inclined out there. I'm getting started on a structurally isolated addition to a building in SDC D. I am familiar with the square root combination of inelastic displacements to establish separation distances. Unfortunately, I don't have the design calculations from the original building so I'm not sure what it's displacements are, and if possible I'd rather not attempt an analysis of the existing building. Is there an acceptable, assumed displacement value that can be used for existing structures? If so, can you point me to the document that lists it?
Thanks for the help!
