Seismosoft | Earthquake Engineering Solutions

Hello!

In Seismostruct Help System for Codes>Greek Seismic>Capacity Checks>Deformation Capacity>Beams,Columns i found the next:

"For elements with deformed bars designed and constructed according the pre-1985 rules applying in Greece, the values calculated based on equations S.8a and S.8b above need to be divided by 1.2."

Where can i to see if the program divide the results? Or where can i put this coefficient?

Thank you!

P.S. Mistake in Help System. Not S8.a and S.8b, but S.11a and S.11b.

This is acording to the formulae provided by KANEPE. Regarding the mistake, what do you mean? We cannot understand which exactly is the mistake. The chord rotation expressions are S11a and S11b.

Regarding the mistake, in Help system you write S.8a and S.8b for chord rotation.

You said that coefficient 1.2 is acording to the formulae. How the program understand if the building before 1985 for use this coefficient?

Dear sanya greek,

Do you use the SeismoBuild v2016? The equations for chord rotation were written as S.8a and S.8b in SeismoBuild v2016, according to KANEPE 1st revision (2013). From SeismoBuild v2018 onwards, the chord rotation expressions are S11a and S11b, according to KANEPE 2nd revision (2017).

You should select "Without detailing for earthquake resistance" in Advanced Member Properties for buildings/members constructed according the pre-1985 rules applying in Greece. In this way the values calculated according to S11a and S11b will be divided by 1.2.

Thank you Zoi!!!
I use Seismo 2020.

Dear sanya greek,

Thank you for reporting it. It will be corrected in the upcoming release.
