I used Etabs software to analyse a high-rise building. And
I want to use templated UBC-codes inside to calculate the
Seismic load. My question is: whether or not I have to
control the seismic load by base shear load which is manual
calculation? (just for more clarification: I can control
this by input the scale factor into Eartquake definition in
Etabs)
I would highly appreciate your answer.
Answer / Vandna
In Etabs, you can use predefined code templates like UBC-codes to calculate seismic loads. However, it's essential to understand that controlling the seismic load through base shear load is crucial as it represents the lateral force resisted by a structure during an earthquake. The scale factor you mentioned would be used to adjust the intensity of the simulated earthquake but not to control the calculated base shear load directly.
