Clarification on Combined Biaxial Bending Verification for Columns in Linear Dynamic Analysis
Posted: 26 Aug 2024, 16:01
Hello SeismoSoft Support,
I would like to clarify whether Seismobuild software allows for biaxial bending verification of columns during linear dynamic analysis with a response spectrum, in accordance with the NTC2018 regulations.
From what I understand, the software calculates the bending moment capacity in both directions (considering uniaxial bending), but it does not seem to combine the contributions from both directions together. This leads to situations where the uniaxial bending verifications pass, but when combined in both directions, the verification fails.
At first look, it appears that the software does not perform this combined biaxial bending verification. However, I would like to know if there is a way to enable or achieve this within the software.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Best regards,
Daniele Arcuri
