Relative floor drift and dilatation joint calculation

[exen]

Hello. According to the reduced displacements given in the relative floor drifts section, unfortunately, we cannot do this when TBDY 2018 4.9.3.1 earthquake joint control is desired. The information of the element that gives the maximum value of the floor is listed in the relative floor offsets. However, according to article 4.9.3.1, the average floor value of the displacements is required. Making use of the information given in second-order effects or other irregularity reports is not the solution. I would appreciate it if you consider this issue in the next update. If we open an additional column in the relative floor displacements report and add the average displacements of the floors, I think we will solve the problem.

My friend reported the problem in May, but I guess no one had any problems with it. In order to be able to calculate the joint, the average of the reduced displacements calculated at the nodal points where the columns or curtains are connected is required, but only for that floor max. value is specified. It may be possible to make an account if it can be given by urgent regulation.

Hello there; This calculation can be made by means of the delta averages given in the second order effects page of the earthquake code report. Check the pdf for details. Good work.
