Hi all,
I'll admit, I'm a newbie at Seismic Design for categories greater than B..... So, let me see if I have this right....
When is it required to apply the overstrength factor?
The overstrength factor should be used when certain vertical or horizontal irregularities apply and is dependent on SDC. ASCE 7-05 12.3.3.3 and 12.3.3.4 outline when overstrength should be used.
Am I missing anything?
Thanks! -K
