Earthquake Load Case - 05/04/11 03:56 PM
Hi:
I want to consider the forces due to earthquake for my system as a uniform ground acceleration in the 4 horizontal directions. Is following the correct procedure for specifying it?
1) Specify U1(1,0,0) and U2(0,0,1) as the +X and +Z vectors.
2) Create the following Operating load cases:
W+T2+P2+U1
W+T2+P2+U2
W+T2+P2-U1
W+T2+P2-U2
Thanks
