10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

1.3.4.2 For EUROCODE scenario 1.3.4.2.1 Economic Growth In the field "Iconic Zoom" check the checkboxes The value of γRD for overstrength is automatically set as a function of ductility: γRD=1 ,0 for DCM / γRD=1 ,2 for DCH. A distinction is made between the poles and the walls. FACTS The wall moment increment shall always be in accordance with EC8 ( §5 .4.2.4), as shall the wall shear increment. PENS The post shear increment (per §5 .4.2.3) always applies, while the torque increment depends on the static system - required in framed & double equivalent to framed. Specifically, you can see if it is required from the table below from the "checks" in the analysis. 1.3.4.2.2 Critical wall length The critical wall length is defined as follows: • The level at which the earthquake has been imposed by the analysis is identified (identify it you must select the "checks" command from the analysis). • With the checkbox unchecked, the program will automatically take the earthquake force level as the basis of the walls. With the the user manually sets this level. Any change made by analysis, if the user has selected the checkbox, the option will remain unaffected. • With the second checkbox unchecked, the program will set the critical length as the length calculated by the regulation, otherwise the user manually selects the critical length (in m).
