Shear Wall Modeling

Post by good for nothing »

Dear Seismosoft team,
I am currently using this module to model a high-rise shear wall structure. I have constructed a 30-story building using only shear wall and beam elements, with all other settings at default values. The first-order period currently obtained is 2.205 seconds. I input a seismic wave with a peak value of 0.07g and a characteristic period of 0.5 seconds at the structure's base for dynamic time-history analysis. Upon comparing the peak accelerations across each floor, I observe that the ratio to the base acceleration is less than 1. Is this result correct?
I look forward to your reply and would be most grateful.
