SEISMIC ANALYSIS MODELING TO SATISFY BUILDING CODES

By: Anonym0us

The current code allows the results obtained from a dynamic analysis to be normalized so that the maximum dynamic base shear is equal to the base shear obtained from a simple two-dimensional static load analysis. Most members of the profession realize that there is no theoretical foundation for this approach. However, for the purpose of selecting the magnitude of the dynamic loading that will satisfy the code requirements, this approach can
