Equivalent Lateral Force Method in Seismic Analysis
Illustration of equivalent lateral force method for seismic analysis in structural engineering
The image illustrates the concept of the equivalent lateral force method, a simplified approach used in seismic analysis to estimate the distribution of lateral forces on a structure during an earthquake. This method is crucial for determining the seismic load that a building must withstand, ensuring structural safety and compliance with engineering standards. It is often implemented in structural analysis software to facilitate the design process.
