Hi all,
When are we supposed to use vertical acceleration during say Response Spectrum Analysis?
UBC-97 has an amplification factor of 0.5CaI that needs to be added to the dead load factor during LRFD.
When using ETABS, I am confused whether we need to apply this factor if we are scaling our Response Spectrum in the UZ direction as well.
