Hello,
I currently use the UBC97 on the calculation of a tower with ABU-DHABI.
Does one have to limit the value of scalling Factor?
I have SF=0,2 is this obtains really reasonable to allow as much dissipation?
Thank you very much
hello
I am a french civil engineer and I have to make a seismic study in Abu Dhabi.
I put myself on the UBC97 but I discover the ASCE7-05.
I does not understand why there are 2 different codes in the United States.
In which case does have one to use them?
Thank you very much
hello, I am a new user of the UBC97 and I put myself a question about the combinations of the seismic directions.
Using a modeling I obtains the seismic efforts according to the 3 directions: Ex Ey and Ez.
how do I have to combine these directions in the combinations of the UBC97?
in FRANCE...
