10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

The next column "Against" is about the satisfaction check and in which direction the particular combination is involved. By selecting the corresponding button , , , you select the direction in which the particular combination will participate performing the satisfaction check. Finally, by selecting the button button to specify that this combination will not participate in the satisfaction check. The regulation mentions the capacity check and the necessity to perform it per direction of the earthquake and not per direction of the column. The exclusion of a direction from the control of the capacity for one or more columns is implemented in SCADA by the zeroing of the incremental factor acd for those seismic combinations where the seismic force, for the specific direction, participates with unity. This is the meaning of the characterization of the combinations that appears in the sizing parameters. a combination is marked by x or by z when the corresponding seismic force has a factor of one.
