How does ideCAD define vertical earthquake effect according to ASCE 7-16?

  • Vertical earthquake effect is applied automatically using Equation 12.4-4a.

Symbols

SDS = Short period design response spectrum acceleration coefficient
Ev = Vertical seismic load effect
D = Dead load effect

Vertical seismic load effect is determined with Eq. 12.4-4a except for structures in seismic design category C, D, E, and F.

Information is included in the subtitle of loading status and loading combinations in the select report.
