Weight Irregularity Check Table
|
|
|
Effective weights of a story and an adjacent story are calculated, and the regularity of weight distribution is checked and tabulated in a spread sheet format.
When "Story Shear Force Ratio>Consider Story Module" is checked in the "Model/Building/Control Data", accurate shear forces can be obtained for the story having the overlapping Module.
When Modules are defined in Results > Result Tables > Story > Define Module, the Module data is displayed in the first column of the table.
When the ratios exceed the allowable limit, they appear in red and 'Irregular' is printed in the Remark.

From Record Activation Dialog, select the load cases/combinations for which Weight Irregularity will be checked. Story Weight is the same irrespective of a loading condition. The reason for entering load cases here is to check if the lateral drifts of two consecutive stories differ by more than 130%. If it is less than 130%, Weight Irregularity need not be considered.
