Showing infill walls under "Checks Tabs"
Under checks tab, the infill walls are automatically not shown. Usually, we take a snap of the structure showing failed members. It's quite confusing because the structure is not showing any infill walls, even though they were modelled. (We got comments/clarifications about this from client reviewer...

Re: Code-based Spectra for ASCE 41-17
Hello, Kirkaguel and fernnie_gae, We updated today the SeismoBuild release that is currently available. In the new release (v2024 Release-1, build-5) the labels of the textboxes have been changes to Ss and S1 and now it is clear that Fa and Fv are then applied to these values. Apologies for the tim...

Installation when there's new update
When a new "Release XX-Build YY" is available, you get a notification to download it. But when you click to install it, a message appears saying you need to uninstall the current version on your computer first. For example, if you have SeismoStruct 2024 Release 1-Build 2, and a new SeismoS...

Re: Code-based Spectra for ASCE 41-17
Thank you very much for your confirmation and action.
I appreciate it! As I have suggested too, I hope you include a DEFAULT SITE CLASS D in the next releases which limits Fa to be at least 1.2.
Thank you very much!

Re: Code-based Spectra for ASCE 41-17
Are you sure? Did you check the coordinates, specifically the y-intercept of the generated spectrum? Under Seismic Action Tab, select Other Spectral Shapes > Other Codes > ASCE 41-17 Input Damping = 5, Site Class = C and use SXS = 1.440, SX1 = 1.105. The following coordinates are generated: Period (...

Code-based Spectra for ASCE 41-17
Under Seismic Action Tab, the program is asking for values of the following: SXS 5%/50y and SX1 5%/50y (which is BSE-2E) SXS 20%/50y and SX1 20%/50y (which is BSE-1E) Now, for example we have SS 5%/50y = 1.20 and Fa = 1.2 (Site Class C), then per ASCE 41-17 Eqn. 2-1, SXS 5%/50y = 1.20*1.2 = 1.44. If...

SITE CLASS D (DEFAULT) FOR CODE-BASED SPECTRA ASCE 41
Under Seismic Action Tab for ASCE 41-17 CODE-BASED SPECTRA, I hope you consider adding a SITE CLASS D (DEFAULT). If SITE CLASS D is selected as DEFAULT, site coefficient Fa should be at least 1.2 as provided by ASCE 7-16 Section 11.4.4, and this value is greater than the values in ASCE 7-16 Table 11...

Non-prismatic Members
Hello. I believe that non-prismatic/tapered members are not yet available in SeismoBuild or even SeismoStruct. I was told to use the average cross section of the tapered columns when I attended online training for the software. However, is it acceptable to model the tapered columns into smaller segm...

Regarding Infill Walls
Hi. When infill walls are present in the model using seismobuild, how do we check its capacity? I could not see any checks performed in the Checks Tab. How do we know that the infill walls are not failing?
