10D. DIMENSIONING PART 4/4

CHAPTER 10D 'DIMENSIONING' 33 ❖ Performance Levels B and C checks in terms of deformations OBSERVATION: For the checks to be performed, both options in the out-of-plane bend must be checked, regardless of whether or not the "Draft KADET) Checks are presented for bending parallel to the vertical joint and correspondingly parallel to the horizontal joint. The final angular deformations shown have been multiplied by incremental factors based on the following: To check the performance criteria B and C, the following inelastic movements are required (dinel) of the building. The relationship between the former and the latter is given in the comments in paragraph 5.4.4 of the K.A.D.E.T. d inel = 1 for T ≥ T d c el (Σ.5.3) 1.0 + ( q − 1) T c d inel = T for T < T d q c el (Σ.5.4) A coefficient is calculated per direction and used depending the type of seismic combination (x or z) IMPORTANT !! To calculate this coefficient, q and Tc are required. In order for the program to read them, the controls in the analysis must be opened.
