8B. ANALYSIS PART 2

CHAPTER 8B 'ANALYSIS' 56 The new method of valuation and redesign that can be followed as an alternative to the one analysed above and applicable until now. This method applies only to buildings of importance I and II and only for the basic seismic class B. Thus for buildings of importance I and II it follows: 1. wasuntil now with the PA2.1 table, i.e., whatever class your building belongs to, you must meet the minimum requirements of the table. 2. The new possibility given to you by the PA2.2 table where, after determining the basic seismic class to which your building belongs, it is enough to go up one basic seismic class and this class must be higher or at least equal to the minimum of the PA2.2 table, but after going up one class. The above will be understood with an example EXAMPLE Building after 1995 Significance II 1. I do not specify its seismic class (I am not interested) and I am pursuing the minimum evaluation or redesign target C1 (as it was until now)
