Do you have any practical example or information regarding how to use the Fardis - Biskinis formula fothe Chord Rotation?

Thank you.

I am analyzing a 2 stories building according to ASCE 41-17 and nonlinear static analysis. It is a Category I building. Using the Immediate Occupancy (1-B) and the 5% @ 50 years spectrum all elements of the building check OK for rotational, shear and displacement. The building is OK according to the...

Thank you for your answer. As I am using the Static Non-Linear Analysis and according to your answer I should use the uncracked section for the elements. Then the Eingervalue will be calculated using the uncrack section, is that correct?

According to ASCE 41-13, section 7.3 for the linear analysis I should use the cracked section properties for the structural members. For the non-linear analysis should I use the cracked or uncracked section properties. I didn't find any information regarding this topic in the ASCE 41-13
