Floor Shifting and live load participation coefficient

Hello. In the summary information of my project, it shows that the offset value is less than 2%, but when you enter the earthquake reports or general reports, there is no information about this subject. In my previous projects, it was included in the report as floor drift control. In addition, where does the live load participation coefficient, which we call "n", change in the program?
 
Hello there; The reason why the relative floor offsets do not appear in the report is that you have not made a metal floor entry. metal flooring; Glass, bamboo, etc. in buildings such as thin sheet metal or shopping malls, with the assumption that only a person in charge of maintenance will come out and process in industrial-type buildings or structures where equipment will be placed. They are the elements that you can enter from a material and are only used to transfer loads. In other words, it is available in the program for this purpose and does not have a rigid diaphragm feature. A rigid diaphragm definition is required so that you can see the story displacements and the relative floor offsets in the earthquake code. The live load participation coefficient is entered in the HYK section in the floor general settings section.
