Hi to all,
will someone discuss
the Code Commitee's Idea
on UBC 97 section 1921.8
"Requirements for frames in seismic zone 2"
specially 1921.8.3
in which Equake is multiplied by factor of 2
-how does it work?
-is this factor based on tests?
-where's the equivalent of this in IBC 2006
thanks
Hi there everyone,
Code says elements/odjects not part of lateral force resisting system needs to be deformation compatible.
i'd like to know if there is a logical way to model for Deformation Compatibility?

Automatic MESHING in ETABS is very smart but unpredictable, specialy in a complex polygon shapes. if you encountered complex shapes, LOAD Transfer to beams should be always checked manualy.
