Hello, In a structure analysis I made, while checking irregularities, I got stuck on B1 (WEIGHT FLOOR) irregularity. In the DBYBHY (2007) regulation, wall shear areas (Ak) for B1 irregularity are defined as follows. -The sum of the masonry infill wall areas (excluding the door and window gaps) on any floor parallel to the earthquake direction taken into account. My question is: Where could I have made a mistake while creating these gaps or should I do a separate operation for this? Why does ideCAD not see these gaps? SOURCE Regulation, TD (2007).
