Calculation formula for the sensitivity coefficient of relative floor displacement
|
θ |
Interstory drift sensitivity coefficient |
|
Ptot |
Total gravity load at and above the story considered in the seismic design situation |
|
dr |
Design interstory drift, evaluated as the difference of the average lateral displacements ds at the top and bottom of the story under consideration; for this, the displacement is determined by using the linear design response spectrum with q = 1.0 |
|
Vtot |
Total seismic story shear determined by using the linear design response spectrum |
|
h |
Story height |
