Norma Venezolana COVENIN 1756-1:2001. Edificaciones sismorresistentes.
This code was already implemented as of previous versions for CYPECAD and Metal 3D for the dynamic analysis method (spectral modal).
The 2013.g version includes in CYPECAD:
- A static analysis method (equivalent lateral force)
The analysis method selection (dynamic or static) is carried out using the Analysis method option within the dialogue box where the seismic load is defined. - Correction due to base shear
This correction is applied to the seismic analysis when this is done using the dynamic analysis (spectral modal). More information on this topic can be found in the Correction due to base shear section.
