EC8 Reduced Stiffness of Elements
EC8 Reduced Stiffness of Elements
(OP)
EC8 suggests reducing element stiffness to 0.5 for seismic analysis, its also suggested to reduce torsional stiffness to about 0.1
However the code doesnt specify which elements should be modified. I am certain that this includes columns, walls and beams but what about slabs?
