I have the following questions about SEAOC V.2
1- Example 1A page 27
Why the over turning moment was calculated using "omega node"? There is nothing in the code says that the non-continued walls should be design using omega node. As far as I know, the columns support this wall should be designed using omega node not the wall itself. '
Any reason for that?
2- Example 1B page 74
In this example, Eventhough the author considered the columns as part of the lateral force resisting system (LFRS), he check the deformation compatibility. I thought we should do the deformation compatibility check for elements that are NOT part of the LFRS. Is there anything in the code about that?
3- Example 2 page 149
In the lower half of the page,
PDL = (15*16/12) + 2(25* 24/12) + 10*27) (16in+8in/2)
What are the 16in and the 8in in the end of the equation came from??
In the last line of the page
What is the factor 0.73 came from?
4- Example 5 page 265
In the beginning of the page
The author used number of bolts n= 4 to determine Vsa. In a similar example in PCA notes, they used n=2.0 because they consider the bolts in Tension are the only bolts that can resist shear.
If we follow what PCA notes, we will get half the value.
Any thoughts about it?
Thanks for your help guys.
