ASCE requirements for dual system
ASCE requirements for dual system
(OP)
hello eng tips,
im designing a dual system which is contains special moment frame and shear wall, on ASCE it said that the moment frame has to capable restraint the 25% seismic force. does it mean the base shear of the moment frame > 25% total base shear ? what if the moment frame doesnt meet the requiremnet( base shear of mf < 25% total base shear) ?

RE: ASCE requirements for dual system
Edit: You also have to design for the lowest R value between the two systems. I believe it's mentioned in the code, but I cannot recall which section off the top of my head.
