Questions and Answers

A: The trigger here is loss of in-plane stiffness at one level. Without the diaphragm constraint, lateral load doesn’t spread by relative stiffness, so individual frames attract force based on local connectivity, allowing accidental torsion even in a clean GA.

A: The pivot number is I = 1.0 or higher. That multiplier exists because life-safety and functional expectations vary by use, and the code forces higher demand where collapse or downtime carries greater consequence.

A: The hard anchor is H ≈ 24 m. Using common empirical relations, T scales with height to about the 0.75 power, landing near one second rather than tenths or several seconds.

A: The gating value is Ah = 0.06. Base shear in linear seismic analysis is simply Ah × W, without direction doubling or storey filtering.
