Vertical Seismic Distribution of One Story Structure Modeling X Z Gravity
Vertical Seismic Distribution of One Story Structure Modeling X Z Gravity
(OP)
Using the ELF procedure for a one story structure ASCE 7 would have you apply your entire base shear at the roof level; for a one story structure is there anything wrong with using X Z (horizontal axis) "gravity" to account for the seismic loads contributed by modeled framing members?
