This is a follow up question to the thread from 6/4 about ASCE 7-16 15.4-6
The commentary about the equation says to use lateral forces to determine deflection.
However, wouldn't you need to consider dead load in that load combo as well when deflection is calculated?
Asking because I've ran...
Hello,
I have a question about section 15.4.4 in ASCE 7-16. I'm trying to use equation 15.4-6 to calculate the approximate period for a trussed tower. However, I don't understand the equation they give fully. It says fi represents any lateral force distribution, and then it says the elastic...
