Seismic Load Generation in Design Results – Miscellaneous Changes

Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 10.0 and may not reflect current behavior

1. Base Shear Note (Bug 2518)

   A note has been added below the seismic information table explaining that story shear shown and the diaphragm force shown do not include user-applied seismic loads, but do include loads derived by user-applied building masses.

2. Output of Procedure Name

   The output of the procedure name in the Site information now gives the Chapter number in ASCE 7, that is 12.8 for categories B – F, and 11.7 and 1.4 for Category A. Previously it erroneously stated that the Equivalent Lateral Force Procedure applied to Category A

3. Building System

   The input for the Building System (Building frame or Bearing wall) was not echoed in the Site Information output. This has been corrected.

4. Seismic Loads Note

   In the note to the Seismic Loads table, the term reliability/redundancy has been changed to redundancy. Reliability is a term from the obsolete UBC code.

5. Table 12.2-1 Note ( Change 145)

   The notes and warning messages under the Storey Drift table for one story structures referred to ASCE 7 Table 12.2-1 instead of 12.12-1. This has been corrected

6. Equation 12.8-12. Reference ( Change 146)

   The legend to the Seismic Information table for weight wx referred to equation ASCE 7 12.8-11 instead of 12.8-12. This has been corrected.
