8B. ANALYSIS PART 2

CHAPTER 8B 'ANALYSIS' 82 We define the combinations for which inelastic analyses will be performed. Each combination means that a seismic force will be applied in the specific direction (x or z) with a factor of 1 and a seismic force in the transverse direction with a factor that you specify in the " Transverse load factor " field. The default value is 0.3. We also determine the type of distribution of the seismic force along the height of the building (triangular or rectangular). The CANPE requires both seismic distributions. Also, if we want to take into account, in addition to the seismic forces, moments resulting from the accidental eccentricities, then we activate the fields " Accidental eccentricities Eh and Ez ". Then, for the sizing of aid, you should also define the combination and distribution in the " Select analysis for aid control " field of the " Controls " command (see 2.2 "Controls" )
