Dear All If we doing response spectrum analysis as per UBC. do we need to lower our base shear because in UBC it is stated that direct result from spectrum shall be used to design for eerthquakes. If we do so then where is R value.

Hello Question regarding choosing between shear walls and moment frame system. Both the systems are provided to resist the lateral forces. Shear wall acts as lateral force resisting system same as Moment frame like IMRF, or SMRF. The value for Response reduction factor is different for different systems according to UBC. If i have a choice to select shear wall or moment frame system which system is better to choose. I know SMRF or is used in areas of high seismic zone thereby less R value and a ductile system. But in case of moderate seismic zone like zone 2A or zone 2B if I have option of providing only moment frames or only shear walls then what is the criteria for selecting such system?

AoA everyone.after designing a complete model,wat are the building checks to be applied in UBC97 other than Maximum inelastic displacement I.e Delta m n torsional irregularities check. can we apply diaphragms displacement check,sway check also in UBC? THNX n regards
