EXAMPLE 3. NON-STANDARD STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 3: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 47 SCADA Pro automatically calculates the q and the type of construction. The procedure that the automatic calculation requires is as follows: ❖ After filling in all the previous fields, leave as is: ❖ Select "OK" and with "Automatic Process" perform a first analysis . ❖ Knowing all the previous parameters, the program calculates the "Seismic Coefficient q". Open the parameter dialog box one more time. In the "q" field read the values calculated by the program. ❖ You can proceed by keeping these values or modify them by checking the corresponding checkboxes and entering your own values (which you could have done from the beginning, but then the program would receive your values without calculating the EC8-based values). In the Building Properties field: Where in previous versions there was the Building Type by X and Z field for the calculation of the basic eigenperiod, it has been replaced by the module: There is now a choice of three ways to calculate the eigenperiod everywhere.
