Ε. LOAD-BEARING MASONRY REINFORCEMENTS

9 CHAPTER E: ' LOAD-BEARING MASONRY REINFORCEMENTS' 2.1.2 Performance Levels B and C checks in terms of deformations For the checks to be performed, both options in out-of-plane bending must be checked, regardless of whether or not "KADET" is checked), as well as the option "Check in terms of deformations" 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 για T < T d q c el (Σ.5.4) A coefficient is calculated per direction and used depending on 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. If you want to see the actual deformations put q=1 in the analysis or use a non-seismic combination (the augmentation is only done for seismic ones) • At the same time the vertical joint The angular deformation developed is of the following form
