The table 'Normalized Lateral Loads' lists the related horizontal forces and moments that exist at the mass points of the model. With an initial load factor of 1.0, the table values correspond to the load on the system in the first load stage of the pushover calculation.
The normalized forces and moments are determined according to EN 1998-1 [1 ] Eq. (B.1).
¯Fi | Related Horizontal Force |
Mz, Rd | Design value of the allowable bending moment about the local z-axis |
Φi | Related Displacement |
The displacements are normalized by setting Φn to 1. "n" denotes the number of the control node, which is usually located in the roof level.
