Reports - ASCE 7 Stability Coefficients

The ASCE 7 Stability Coefficients report lists calculated stability coefficients according to Eq. 12.8-16 in ASCE 7-05 and ASCE 7-10. These coefficients are only reported for ASCE 7 seismic load cases. For this purpose, gravity load cases must be also analyzed in order to calculate the stability coefficients.

The report contains two sections for each seismic load case analyzed: the first section reports diaphragm shears, drifts, and vertical loads (dead, live, roof, and snow); the second section shows calculated stability coefficients and also it reports maximum permitted limits according to ASCE 7-05 and ASCE 7-10.
