Capacity Checks (ASCE)

All the member checks (chord rotation capacity and shear capacity) should be carried out for all the elements of every floor, according to Chapter 10 of ASCE 41-23, Chapter 11 of ACI 318-19, Chapter 4 of ACI 369.1-22 and Chapter 11 of ACI 440, taking into account Tables 7-6 and 7-7 of ASCE 41-23. Interstorey drift ratio should be checked for walls controlled by shear. Moreover, beam-column joints checks can be employed in order to check the joint’s shear force.

In SeismoBuild the capacity checks available are the following:

• Deformation Capacity

• Bending Moment Capacity

• Shear Capacity

• Steel Braces Axial Deformations

• Steel Braces Axial Forces

• Joints Shear Forces

• Joints Ductility

• Footings Rocking Moment Capacity

• Footings Rocking Rotation Capacity

• Footings Bending Capacity

• Footings Shear Capacity

• Footings Punching Capacity

• Footings Eccentricity
