Strength Ratio Limit
Strength Ratio Limit
As a critical requirement of ASCE 41 before we can use the Nonlinear Static Procedure (pushover analysis) it is required to determine the degree of nonlinearity that the whole building system is experiencing and explicit limit is set which is the "Strength Ratio of the system must not exceed the maximum strength ratio". If this limit is exceeded we cannot use NSP but we have to use Nonlinear dynamic Procedure. I cannot seem to see whether this is check by Seismobuild or I am missing something?

Re: Strength Ratio Limit
Unfortunately, this check is not included in the current version of SeimoBuild. We will keep a note for the development of a similar feature in a future release of the software.
