RR 22.01.00-3.3 IS 1893 2016 Seismic Irregularities Checks

STAAD.Pro can now check for vertical and plan irregularities per the IS 1893 2016 code for structures with defined rigid floor diaphragms.

Note: The program can additionally check for soft stories per the IS 1893 2016 code.

For IS 1893 2016, the program can check horizontal irregularities (torsional and reentrant corners) per Table 5 and vertical irregularities (mass irregularities and irregular modes of oscillation) per Table 6.
