8B. ANALYSIS PART 2

CHAPTER 8B 'ANALYSIS' 30 • Select: For each Data Reliability Level • Extent of Damage The γsd factor is automatically calculated based on the corresponding option, • The value 0 in the field means that the coefficient will take the value based on table .4.2. of the EIA . If you want your own value, enter a number and it will be added up to the value provided by the table. Calculations are made based on the resulting sum. Where more precise data are not available, cSd values according to the following Table may be used. IMPORTANT OBSERVATION: The csd coefficient is automatically calculated based on the corresponding option, but because the CAN.EPE. gives the possibility to select the elastic analysis regardless of the criteria AND ONLY FOR ASSESSMENT, provided that the csd is increased by 0.15, there is a field "Increment coefficient", where you can enter the value you wish. • Method of Calculation - Analysis / Performance The next field concerns the choice of the type of elastic analysis (global index behaviour ( q ) or local ductility indices ( m )) for each level of performance. • For performance level A, the mmethod is not applicable.
