Capacity Checks (TBDY)

All the member checks (chord rotation capacity and shear capacity) should be carried out for all the elements of every floor, according to sections 5 and Appendix 15 of TBDY. Moreover, beam-column joints checks can be employed in order to check the joint’s shear forces .

In SeismoBuild the capacity checks available are the following:

• Chord Rotation Capacity

• Bending Moment Capacity

• Strains Capacity

• Steel Braces Axial Deformations

• Steel Braces Axial Forces

• Shear Capacity

• Joints Shear Forces

• Joints Ductility

• Footings Rocking Moment Capacity

• Footings Rocking Rotation Capacity

• Footings Bending Capacity

• Footings Shear Capacity

• Footings Punching Capacity

• Footings Eccentricity
