R coefficient in different rigid diaphragms.

In the project, which consists of 3 blocks separated by dilatation, the program provides solutions by defining a separate rigid diaphragm for each block, but I wonder if each block is processed according to a separate R coefficient or is the R coefficient we entered in the analysis settings used in all blocks. What I want to ask is, would we be wrong if we solve each block in a single project without solving it separately? I'll be happy if you can help me. Thanks..

Hello, If you solve each block in one project without solving it separately, you will not be wrong as a mathematical model, but if you do not make any mistakes between the blocks. If there is no physical connection or if the blocks will be applied at different ductility levels, it would be appropriate to solve them as separate projects.In dilatation projects, the R coefficient you entered in the analysis settings is used in all blocks, you can use the lowest R coefficient you will set for all blocks. However, if your project will be mixed ductility level, it is appropriate to solve it as separate projects. should be checked.
