With the article 4.3.4.6 of the regulation, it is stipulated that the sum of the overturning moments caused by earthquake loads on the walls shall not be less than 75% of the total overturning moment occurring at the base due to earthquake loads for the whole building. The tipping moment calculated for the entire structure can be calculated equivalently or dynamically while applying this clause. There may be a difference of 10% between the two accounts. However, the most important situation here is the contribution of the walls to the total overturning moment of the building, especially in low-rise and flat structures, due to the normal force they take as they move away from the building centre. When the calculation is made as stated in the regulation, it becomes almost impossible to meet the 0.75 condition due to the axial forces of the curtains away from the center. In order to meet this condition, it is necessary to take the shear force contribution of the beams connected to this wall from the rigid direction. But the regulation does not say that you can do so. In order to provide this condition, it is necessary to add the Moments created by these normal forces (shear forces of the beams stuck in the wall) to the shear overturning moments. This is how ideCAD calculates the overturning moment of the tie-beam wall, which meets the degree of attachment requirement for shear walls. The regulation already calculates the overturning moment of the curtains with tie beams. However, it alone takes care of the overturning moment that occurs at the base of the walls in the walls where the beams that are not in the nature of tie beams are stuck. In Regulation 4.3.4.8 Mdev shall be calculated according to 4.5.3.7(d) or 4.5.3.8(c) for shear walls, and 4.5.4.3 for sheaths with tie beams (with spaces). If the total overturning moment M0 resulting from earthquake loads for the whole building is 4.7, 4.8.2 or 4.8.3, it will be obtained according to 4.7, 4.8.2 or 4.8.3. As such, ideCAD calculates correctly as the earthquake regulations say. In the attached project, almost all of which are curtain walls, the rollover control remains at 0.71 in the X direction. The reason is the normal forces of the curtains on the side to tip over. In the following project, 25x25 was chosen so that the columns do not contribute to the overturning of the system. In this system, the tipping moment rate is only 71%. The ratio will be even smaller when the columns are entered in reasonable sizes. When 50x50 columns are entered, Mdev/m0 decreases to 0.55. ideCAD Etabs comparison
