Checks
Herein, the checks to be carried out according to the selected Code for structural members and beam-column joints may be selected. The checks available within all the employed Codes are the following:
- Member Chord Rotations
- Member Bending Moments
- Member Shear Forces
- Member Strains (Only for TBDY)
- Steel BracesTensile Deformations
- Steel Braces Compressive Deformations
- Steel Braces Tensile Forces
- Steel Braces Compressive Forces
- Joints Shear Forces (Eurocode 8, ASCE 41-23 & TBDY)
- Joints Horizontal Hoops Area (Only for Eurocode 8)
- Joints Vertical Reinforcement Area (Only for Eurocode 8)
- Joints Ductility
- Joints Diagonal Tension (NTC & KANEPE)
- Joints Diagonal Compression (NTC & KANEPE)
- Interstorey Drifts (ASCE 41-23 & NTC)
- Footing Bearing Capacity (Eurocode 8, NTC & KANEPE)
- Footing Sliding Forces (Eurocode 8, NTC & KANEPE)
- Footing Rocking Moment Capacity (ASCE 41-23 & TBDY)
- Footing Rocking Rotation Capacity(ASCE 41-23 & TBDY)
- Footing Bending Capacity
- Footing Shear Capacity
- Footing Punching Capacity
- Footings Eccentricity
A more detailed description on the checks and the equations used to calculate the capacities in SeismoBuild is available in the Checks and in the Eurocodes, ASCE, NTC-18, KANEPE and TBDY pages, respectively.
The values of the safety factors used in the checks may be specified through the corresponding button. The program default factors are those defined in the selected Code.
