- Now in form of table
- Listed only if company or project information is entered in settings dialog
Design Settings
- Now organised into a table
- Gives full name and year of design standard, and wind standard clause used ( Fig I-15 or I-1/8)
- Add nail withdrawal moisture content conditions, for fabrication and service
- Add anchorage restriction settings
- Add dissimilar materials setting
- Add setting for height restriction for wind loads
- Remove sheathing combination, not relevant to Canada
- Remove wind capacity increase, not relevant to Canada
- Remove seismic load reduction factor, not relevant to Canada
Site Information
- Now organised into a table
- Expand definition of occupancies
- Wind:
- Update design code used
- Add units for velocity pressure
- Add Internal Gust Factor CGi
- Add Terrain
- Add Topographic Information section.
- Seismic::
- Add reference to seismic procedure in NBC used.
- Remove Seismic Zone, and Zonal Ratio,
- Replace Soil Category with site class
- Add Sa(T) for T = 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0
- Replace Za, Zv with Fa, Fv.
- Replace R with Ductility Factor Rd and Overstrength Factor Ro
Story Information
- The Building Mass and Story Shear are no longer presented here. They have been moved to the new Seismic Information table
Block and Roof Information
- Location and Extent are now shown for both directions.
- Ridge Location and Ridge Elevation now refer to the absolute values.
- The relative values also included as Ridge Offset and Ridge Height
- Gives ridge direction
Materials by Wall Group
- Add legend explaining headings .
Shearline, Wall and Opening Dimensions
- Added legend explaining headings
- Organised into separate sections for E-W and N-S shearwalls
- Add subheadings for line and level
- Added column for full height sheathing.
Wind Shear Loads
- Loads now sorted much better by Block, Load Case, Direction, Location etc,
- Can be shown combined ( as accumulated by program) or separately (as entered). Separately is default.
- Removed level column, as table is organised by levels
- Added Block and Element columns
- Low rise reference corner and wind case are both listed in the Load Case column.
- The magnitude column is split into Magnitude Start and End
- The tributary width column is renamed Trib Ht which better represents the value
- Added legend
Wind, Seismic Shear Forces (applied directly)
- Corrected ragged output
Wind C&C Loads
- Removed name column, that used to simply contain “Wall”
- Added Block column. Previously it was unclear what block the load came from
- Fixed bug that reversed the values in the interior and end zones.
Dead Loads and Uplift Loads
- Heading for these loads did not correspond to data in columns – this has been corrected
- Corrected ragged output of rows
- Separate columns for start and end magnitude
- Move tributary width column
Building Masses
- Added legend explaining columns, and building elements
- Separate columns for start and end magnitude
- Remove level column ( table organised by levels)
Seismic Loads
- Remove level column ( table organised by levels)
- Separate columns for start and end magnitude
- Added legend, including explanation of seismic loads as combination of masses on many elements
Shear Results
- Added legend explaining all the columns and data within them, incorporating the notes that were previously below the table.
- Add subheadings for line and level
- Added comma between low rise-reference corners to distinguish them
Drag strut and Hold-down Forces
- Added legend explaining the meaning of the headings and the data within the columns.
- Changed dead load to show factored load, to be consistent with shearline force.
- Added “Line” subheadings
- Changed the heading for the from Holddown Force [lbs ] to Tensile Holddown Force [lbs]
- Added explanatory notes for vertical elements and for moment arm used in force calculation.
- Added numbered notes for those hold-downs (rather than anchorages) required due to irregularities
Components and Cladding by Shearline
- Added legend explaining meanings of headings and data
- Added column for service condition factor for moisture conditions
- Reorganized into north-south and east-west shearline sections
