8B. ANALYSIS PART 2

CHAPTER 8B 'ANALYSIS' 60 OBSERVATIONS: • If you do not want to run all scenarios from the beginning, start by running only the scenario of the lowest seismic class B4, and if this scenario is sufficient, you start to climb. If B4 is not sufficient, there is no point in performing the rest. • In the above example there is no adequacy for any basic seismic class so that its basic seismic class is determined on the basis of the minimum basic seismic class seismic class of the building in the following table That is, depending on the year of manufacture, one class above the one indicated. In our example, if the building is built after 1995, the table indicates B2+ so the redesign of the building will be for B1+. • The above procedure can be used for elastic static and dynamic scenarios as well as for inelastic analysis. • Finally, the manual way of using this feature is that you have the option, from the list of scenarios that appear in any basic seismic class to select any CAN.EPE. scenario of elastic or inelastic analysis, run it and see briefly if there are failures in bending and/or shear without having to refer to the detailed printout of the adequacy ratios or the colour gradations.
