Objective | OP2 Structural Sufficiency of the Building |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Minimum value of the base shear, Vd, for
structures analyzed using a Linear Dynamic Analysis, to be used in the design
of buildings for earthquake, for irregular structures
requiring dynamic analysis in accordance with Article 4.1.8.7.

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the base shear used for the
design of structures requiring dynamic analysis due to their irregularity
will be based on a value that does not fully capture the influence of irregularities
on the structures' behaviour during an earthquake, which could lead to a base
shear value that is lower than it should be, which could lead to:
