M. To add wall data area to an IS1893 2016 seismic definition
To add the first story wall area data for an IS 1892 2016 seismic load definition, use the following procedure.
You must create a
reference load case containing the load items to be used as weights in the
seismic load. Refer to
M. To create a reference
load for
details.
The wall data area is only required
for an IS 1893 2016 seismic load applied to a buiding of structure type 4 (i.e., reinforced
concrete structural walls). This data is ignored for any other code or building
type.
- In the Loads & Defintions dialog, select the seismic defintion to which you want to add weights and then click Add. The Add New: Seismic Definitions dialog opens.
- Select the Wall Area tab in the Add New: Seismic Definitions dialog.
- For each wall in the global X direction in the first story above ground, type the Width and Length of the wall in plan.
- For each wall in the global Z direction in the first story above ground, type the Width and Length of the wall in plan.
- Click Add.
