Steel Seismic Provision Reports

A number of reports are available in Steel-Seismic Provision Mode. Many of these have already been described in Chapter 4. The reports presented below are those that are not described in the above referenced section and are specific to the Steel Seismic Provision Mode.

Many of the reports are based on load combinations (member forces, reactions etc). In Steel – Seismic Provision Mode these reports are all based on the seismic load combinations (generated and custom) from this mode only.

The reports available in the Steel-Seismic Provision mode are for the most part identical to those available in the Steel – Standard Provision mode. Only those reports in which the content changed are described below. Refer to Chapter 4, for all other reports not described below. Note that all reports that use load combinations will show results for the load combinations (generated and custom) that are created in the seismic provision mode.

SettingDescription
Load Combinations The Load Combinations report is a listing of the analyzed load cases of which the combinations are comprised, the program-generated load combinations, and the user-defined load combinations from this mode only. Note that the standard provision load combinations play an important part in the checks performed in the steel seismic mode. The engineer should switch to the Steel – Standard Provision mode to print the standard provision load combinations.
Member Code Check The Member Code Check report lists detailed results of the currently selected Seismic Code Specifications check for individual members. The report includes member information, design parameters, and the results of all the checks performed on each member.

Member Code Check reports can be printed for a single frame member, all frame members included in a fenced area, all members of a selected frame, all frame members shown in the current view or for every frame member in the model.

Joint Code Check The Member Code Check report shows detailed results of the currently selected Seismic Code Specification checks for individual moment frame joints. The report includes member information, design parameters, and the results of all the checks performed on each joint.

Joint Code Check reports can be printed for a single frame member, all joint members included in a fenced area, all joints of a selected frame, all frame joints shown in the current view or for every frame joint in the model.

Member Check Summary The Member Code Check Summary report lists each seismic check performed on a member, and the result of each check. The report is the same as the list of checks and results displayed in the member view-update dialog
Joint Check Summary The Joint Code Check Summary report lists each seismic check performed on a joint, and the result of each check. The report is the same as the list of checks and results displayed in the joint view-update dialog.
Star Seismic Summary The Star Seismic Summary lists each Star Seismic® BRB result of the currently selected Seismic Code Specification. The report includes member information, design parameters, and the results of all the checks performed on each brace.
CoreBrace Summary The CoreBrace Summary lists each CoreBrace® BRB result of the currently selected Seismic Code Specification. The report includes member information, design parameters, and the results of all the checks performed on each brace.
